Reassessing ARACHNE’S LEGACY

Over the past month, I’ve been tooling along pretty well writing Arachne’s Legacy, the third book in my Arachne series — or so I thought. I’ve been focusing on just one of the book’s two parallel plotlines, since I often find it easier to write the A and B plots separately so I don’t have to keep shifting my mindset between them. As of early last week, I was getting close to the climax of this fir

Christopher Bennett answered A.J. Blanc's question: Hi Chris, LOVE the Rise of the Federation series!

I haven't been offered the opportunity to do anything more in the ROTF setting.
