Sidespace Update, Anthology Release Dates and the Concept Art of Aurora Rising
It's been a little while - I know, I know. But you were all spending your summer outside, sunbathing and hiking and gardening, right? (Unless you live in Australia, in which case, snow!) But now fall is upon us, and there is news:
I'll now have two Aurora short stories appearing in upcoming anthologies. The release date for The Galaxy Chronicles is November 15, 2015. My contribution, APOGEE , tells the story of the opening hours of the 1st Crux War between the Earth Alliance and the Senecan Fed...The Art That Inspired The Worlds of Aurora Rising
We're going to be visiting a lot of new worlds in Aurora Renegades. While we're by no means leaving the planets back home in Aurora behind, now that Aurora Rising is complete I thought I'd share some of the spacescapes and futuristic art* that I drew on for inspiration in crafting the varied colonized worlds visited in Aurora Rising - for your enjoyment and as a 'thank you' to the fantastic artists who help fuel my imagination.
The links go to Deviant Art pages (you don't need an account to v...

I am a bad person.
Now, hopefully this will come as a surprise to most of you. Some of you, perhaps not so much ;).
MY CONFESSION: After Starshine was published, amidst much angst over its cliffhanger ending, I said the following: “Aurora Rising is the story. Starshine represents Act I in what is, in effect, a 3-act play in novel form.”
It wasn’t a lie—but it also wasn’t the entirety of the truth. It was very important to me that Aurora Rising be a self-contained, fulfilling story that will fore...
