Final book in the series released!

At last, it is upon us!  (And only two weeks late...)

Book 6 of "The Star Travels of Dr. Jeremiah Fothering-Smythe" is called "The Free World" and it is now available!

In this, the last of Volume One of the "Star Travels" (I fully intend to come back to the series some day) Jeremiah comes to the planet Mantrika voluntarily, to help aid its citizens in freeing their world from the tyrannical occupation of the Veyans.

Jeremiah has no idea how he could be of use, but he followed the lovely Princess Iltiria here and would do whatever she bid.  But now that he's here, what can he do to help?

In the final stage of Jeremiah's transformation into a hero, he must use everything he has learned thus far in his star travels - and maybe pick up a few extra tricks as well, if he wants to survive this mission.

Enjoy it!  And who knows?  Maybe one day Dr. Jeremiah Fothering-Smythe will return...

My new horror novella

Sorry for the lack of updates recently.  I'm going to try to do better about posting more frequently.

I am, indeed, still hard at work writing the last book in Volume One of "The Star Travels of Dr. Jeremiah Fothering-Smythe".  It's taking a bit longer than expected - and will be a slightly longer work than previous installments - but I hope you find it to be worth the wait in the end.

For now, why not check out my latest book?

It's a horror novella, about a family dealing with the loss of a loved one, who are forced onto the run by a monster that keeps reappearing beneath the boy's bed.

The monster is out for blood.  And it won't stop coming, not until it has satisfied its hunger.

$1.99 from Amazon US

or £1.29 from Amazon UK

It's creepy, but not gory or disturbing.  It's good little character piece about a broken family trying to piece itself back together.

I hope you enjoy it while waiting for the next "Dr. Jeremiah" story to be released!

Finishing Book 5, Beginning Book 6

Hey all.

Book 5 - "Capitol Punishment" - should be out in a week or so.  By this point, I ought to be close to getting the first draft of Book 6 done.  Or at least well on my way.

So why can't I start?

It's the last in Volume One - the final installment in the first phase of Dr. Jeremiah's star travels.  There will be a pause while I write other things, projects I've wanted to work on for some time now.  So I want to get this right,

There are things the book needs to accomplish.  The ending is fine (I've know what it is for a very long time now) but making it count is harder.  Earning it, letting it develop naturally and satisfactorily.  That is what the key is going to be.

I could start writing now.  Easy.  All the details aren't worked out yet, but I could make it up as I go along - I've done it before.  So why not do that?

Because I know it won't work.  Won't work well enough, at any rate, to be satisfying as a semi-conclusion to the series.  I need to make sure this one hits all the right notes, and in the right order.  There's a hundred ways this could mostly turn out okay, and only a few that will be really good.

It's one of those latter that I'm aiming for.  And so I keep hunting.  Keep searching, keep outlining.  And soon (with any luck) I'll hit on the right approach and start writing.

Any day now...
