  Well folks, we’re two days out from the Official Release of Stardancer. Talk about your long, strange trips. If you’re wondering if the book is any good at all, well, I’m likely a tad biased on that subject. But two of my beta-readers weighed in on their blogs recently, here and here. Both are intelligent, discerning fellows whose tastes do tend to overlap with mine with some regularity, but we also have enough areas of disagreement that I knew getting these gentlemen on board was no sure thing. Meanwhile, the work continues as I am now writing the first draftDown the rabbit hole….

Hey everybody, we’re now seven days out from the release of STARDANCER! I’m doing a musical countdown on Byzantium’s Shores, but since I’ve got this spiffy website, I should cross-post them here too, right? So today, for seven days out, the theme from The Magnificent Seven! I can’t believe I’m this close to having this book be “out there”. What an amazing journey! Share This PostDown the rabbit hole….

Here are the first three chapters of STARDANCER! 1 In spite of what the historians wrote many years later, it all started with an argument between a sixteen-year-old Princess and her ten-year-old sister, over a birthday party. The party wasn’t one of theirs, but that of “His Holy Highness, the Exalted and Wise, the Grand Imperator of the Salengarde Imperium, Zantor the Sixth of His Name”. So pronounced the servodrone which emerged from hyperspace and landed in the center plaza of Gavinar City, sent for the sole task of delivering this news, precisely six standard months before the actual date.

Good day to you all, Star Warriors! Of all the various concerns I had as I moved Stardancer toward publication, the one that was most worrisome to me was the problem of cover art. You see, while I like to think I have a decent eye for good visual art, when it comes to producing it, I’m about as untalented as a blind person playing hockey. In fact, if we started at the same time, I suspect you’d find a decent blind hockey player well before I produced a decent sketch, much less a painting or anything else of the sort.

Well, folks, the day has come. When I started writing Princesses In SPACE!!! (not the actual title), I started talking about my writing progress on Facebook and Twitter and on Byzantium’s Shores. This was mainly a way of claiming my writing life for my own, after years of thinking about writing and occasionally writing and putting writing off for another day. I had a story in mind, a story idea I’d been nursing for almost ten years (if not more), and it was time to get going. Problem was, I didn’t have a title. Just a story. This has never dissuaded me before. IDown the rabbit hole….

Hello, everyone! Welcome to what will be my Official Author Website. I will use this site primarily to interact with the writing world and to get information out about my work as it slowly trickles forth (hopefully!) over the next few years. I will not be abandoning any of my other usual haunts; certainly not Byzantium’s Shores, in which I simply have too much time invested to stop now. This site will focus pretty much exclusively on my books and writing activities.   As ever, onward and upward! Zap! Pow!   Share This PostDown the rabbit hole….
