With the beginning of the holiday
insanity, I figured I should offer up some of my ebooks for free. These would be great for that long drive to
the in-laws or while standing in line for some big Black Friday deal. Or if you’re just looking for something to
read. So these three ebooks will be free
from Tuesday November 26 through Saturday November 30.
Partway to a new colony world, board
member Geoffrey Ames is woken from hibernation by the caretaking crew of the Lucian. They require him to look into
the matter of their fellow crewman Morgan Heller. Morgan’s claims – such as
being over 1500 years old – would normally land him in the psychiatric ward,
except he can back up some of his other claims.
A Man of Few Words is a collection
of fifty of my flash fiction stories. What would really happen if a “T-Rex on
steroids” attacked a city? Why do science fiction writers make the best lovers?
How does a company get to Second Base with VIPs? These questions and more are
explored using less than 1000 words and in various genres from humor to horror
and general fiction to science fiction.
The majority of the stories were
previously published (most on my website) but all were revised for this
collection. In addition, each piece is accompanied by some background
information on the origin of the story or a funny tale about the writing of it
to give a fuller experience.
As a science fiction writer, I’ve spent a
lot of time thinking about how technology will change the way we live. I’ve come up with these ten short essays
about science fictional elements that will – almost certainly – one day become
science fact as a way for people to start coming to terms with them. Because I’ve spent time thinking about clones
and AIs, I feel that I’ll be okay when they do finally show up whereas most
people will probably freak out. I hope
these essays will get people to start thinking about the future because, no
matter what we do, the future is coming.
