Some information on my next book.
Just about ready to start the process of self publishing my latest collection of science fiction and science fantasy short stories. Pretty sure I’ll go with Amazon Create Space who I used for my last book. The list of short stories (several of them not that short) to be included are:
The Grief Counselors, Task Force to Earth XXX, Human Hunter, Search Mission, A Helping Hand, The Search for Humanity, Daughter of the High Lords, Under Attack, Past his Used by Date, Soldier of the Rorne, Broolt, Trathh – Return to Empire, Reality Check and Computer Audit.
Have narrowed it down to a couple of great images on the fotolia image library for the front cover design. Always very exciting when one gets to this stage! Cheers!

Progress report on my next book
I’ve reached 45,000 of an anticipated 60,000 words on my latest speculative fiction book. Have added a couple of new stories and finished some others. The full list of stories so far are: Ultimate Equalizer, Task Force to a Parallel Earth, Human Hunter, Search Mission, A Helping Hand, The Search for Humanity, Daughter of the High Lords, Under Attack, Past his Used by Date, Soldier of the Rorne, Broolt, Trathh – Return to Empire, Reality Check and Computer Audit. A name for the works still eludes me. The latest story I added “Task Force to a Parallel Earth” is something of an extension of my “Greater Britain” alternate history series into the relatively near future.

An update on my new book project
An update on my current book project. I’ve reached 25,000 of an anticipated 60,000 words. It’s another collection of science fiction and science fantasy short stories (still unnamed). The publisher of my very first sci-fi book (published back in 2009) has expressed some interest and asked to be kept informed. However further down the track I’d like to see who else might be interested. Stories include: Daughter of the High Lords, Soldier of The Rorne, The Search for Humanity, Trathh – Return to Empire, Under Attack, Broolt, Reality Check, Past the Used by Date, and Computer Audit.
