That could be an option sometime in the future, if there's ever a realistic chance that I can pay the bills with it. Fingers crossed!

Thank you! And yeah, I might have a time-traveling cowboy or two on the horizon.

Sadly, it looks like that's going to be it for the crew of Mistral. The first two books just didn't sell enough to interest the publisher in any more.

Research, research, and more research. I read endless books about airships, talked to veterans, and abducted live human specimens to study in my basement.

Thank you so much! We should find out whether there will be more books in the series within the next few months. It'll depend a lot on what the sales numbers for By Fire Above look like, so tell your friends!

The Guns Above was partly inspired by Poe's "Balloon Hoax" and partly by the Aubrey-Maturin series, my favorite book series.

I'm working on the sequel to The Guns Above. As of this writing, it doesn't have a title, but it's coming along well and I think you're going to enjoy it.

As I write this from the California Zephyr, north of Moab and heading toward the Rocky Mountains, I would have to say that the best thing about being a writer is taking scenic, relaxing train rides and calling them work trips.

With wailing and despair, mostly. Please note: this method may not work for everyone.

I was lucky enough to stumble upon the inspiration center of the brain while researching neurophysiology at Harvard in the mid-2000s. After nearly a decade of additional research, I developed a method of directly stimulating this region with a complex combination of chemical and electrical signals. Using a prototype implant powered by a nine-volt battery, I can become inspired with the push of a button. As a side effect, however, I now pee anytime someone says the word, "cactus."
