Boy, do I owe you an apology. Somehow I never saw this question - and I think it's been a year. Sheesh. Please forgive me.
Yes, the Galahad series should be read in order, beginning with Comet's Curse. And, for the record, that entire series has been relaunched under a different pen name: Tyber North.
Thank you, Rhonda. (You're probably forgotten you even asked this. Ha!)

Hey Kyler, SO sorry that I just now saw this. I still love the idea of a follow-up series to the Galahad adventures, but I'm afraid there's nothing lined up right now.
But I'll always love the idea, so I'd never say never.
Thanks very much for reading the Galahad series. I appreciate you.

Hi Margaret! Here you go:
Comet's Curse: Triana and Gap
Web of Titan: Channy and Bon
Cassini Code: Merit and Lita
For the final three books, it gets a little tricky. Tor used photos of characters that they felt could be random crew members - although I think I see Alexa and Taresh on the cover of Dark Zone.
The new Galahad Archives books (omnibus collections of all six books in three volumes) don't have characters on the covers. I've found that some people love having characters on the covers, while others don't like it. How about you?

Some have said that writer's block is simply a sign that you're not really into the story you're writing, and I think there's some truth to that. I often encourage writers to leave their current project for a while and go write something else, either another story or an article or a blog post. Maybe poetry or music. The point is to reset your brain. When you come back to your original story you might be able to look at it with a fresh set of eyes and neurons.

Lots! The good people at Tor have just published The Galahad Archives, Volume 1. Look for volumes 2 and 3 later this year. I'm also excited about a new set of books for young readers called The Cooper James Mystery Series. It's sort of a nod to the old Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew books, but with contemporary characters and modern tech. It's a lot of fun.
And, under the pen name Buster Blank, I've written three books for middle-grade students.

I knew I wanted to write the minute I finished "Rendezvous With Rama" by Arthur C. Clarke. I was in the 7th grade, and something about the way Clarke built that imaginary world lured me in to the craft.
