This is Book Five of the (yes, it will be) seven book K.C. Hall series. It’s a year after the events of K.C. Hall Doubles Down. You know what that means? That’s right! She’s back on Kincaid Live! It’s time for another K.C. Hall Week on your favorite late night talk show This time Sal,…

The hits keep on coming. This is Book Four of the (almost definitely) seven book K.C. Hall Series. K.C.’s back in Hollywood working on set. Things are good. Mostly. Okay, there are some things that aren’t quite right. First, Kyler, the ex-Art Monster shows up. Remember him? Yeah, it’s been a while. A long while….

Yup, it’s Book Three of the (most likely) seven book K.C. Hall series. Strange things are happening in Puerto Santibel. K.C. goes south – way south – when Jon stumbles into his first directing gig: Big Fin X. That’s right! It’s shark movie time! Strap in as K.C. puts her life on hold to help…

K.C. Hall is back. And so are more troubles. Kalindra Muze has it out for our beloved starlet. The success of Shadows of the Moon 2 hangs in the balance. The feud between K.C. and Kalindra will either save or doom the sequel. Meanwhile in Rapid City, Scott is up to…something. Sophie, too. Also, Luisa…

To say this book is a change of pace for me is a massive understatement. It’s not science fiction. It’s a contemporary novel. K.C. Hall, the titular character, came to me while I was in the middle of writing First Encounters. She demanded that I write her story. I know that sounds strange but that’s…

This book started as a totally different creature. I wrote a rough draft that was very much in the vein of the Nova Sol series. It was good. I liked it. My wife liked it. But it was missing something. So, I started playing around with it. I changed it from straight forward prose to…

I wrote and published Saucerland (origin title: The Far Shores of Saucerland) a few years ago. It is a bit of an odd duck of a book. I had a tremendous amount of fun writing it. But I realize that it is not everyone’s cup of tea. Saucerland will always be special to me. In…

Zenda’s Story is the first book for The Curated Worlds. It is an introduction to the world of Alva Albish and a hint at things to come in the series. If you like superheroes, if you like a little mystery and a little fun, you’ll like this series. Zenda’s Story is available now. The other…

Here’s the new kid on the block. Danger Island is my most recent novella. I published it a couple of weeks ago (8/18/19). It’s available on kindle and in paperback. I recently started reading all the Hugo Award winning novels. The first book to win the Hugo way back in 1953 was “The Demolished Man” by Alfred…

Hold Still the Sky started as a short story. It then evolved into a collection of short stories that was inspired, in small part, by Bradbury’s Martian Chronicles. Hold Still has a stronger narrative through line than Bradbury’s collection as I do follow a certain cast of characters and I didn’t write the stories over…

I have been working on this story (as noted in various blog posts) for a few months now (4/1/19). It is definitely a lighter, more playful story than I’ve written in the past few years. Although in hindsight, L.A.ser Boy has plenty of lighter moments, too. I have been looking to balance out the serious…

Coming next is Monsters of Utopia. The subtitle of Monsters is “a fairy tale manifesto.” In the sense that Twilight Zone and similar shows (more recently Black Mirror, more retro-ly Tales from the Crypt) are modern fairy tales so, too, is Monsters of Utopia. Science fiction, as a whole, is bound by the poles of…

Everything in my writing career starts with Nova Sol, which is the first book in my first series. After finishing “A Brief History of Humankind” (Nova Sol, Remnant Species, Altered Earth) I didn’t think I’d write another series ever again. My wife has a picture of me the day I put Altered Earth up in…
