Almost Finished

This week, I am almost done revising my current work in progress. The book is a science fiction story set in a future world crowded with people. The Moon, Mars, and Venus have been colonized, but those who leave Earth are not allowed to return, unless they use technology that allows them to ride along with facilitators on Earth. It’s a thriving business, using implants and radio communications to see, and hear humanity’s home world.

This one has taken longer because I’m really working to make my characters better and trying to make sure the story is well told. I’m not perfect, but with each book or story I write, I try to make it better. At the end of the day, that’s all anyone can do. Bit by bit, step by step, improvements happen.

Any large improvement must begin with small, consistent steps. To begin, it always takes action. Characters in a story have to come to a point where they act instead reacting, at least for most stories. It may not happen all at once. But every time they try, they get better. It’s the same with us. Improvement takes action and consistency.

Check out some of my books on Amazon.

My fantasy, A Map, a Mage, and a Sacrifice, is set in a world with limited technology, but where sacrifice is a necessary element to magical power. The greater the pain and suffering, the greater the magical power generated. The few mages in power use voluntary sacrifice of the citizens to generate power they use to protect and defend the empire. But their rule may be coming to a close.

Malignance, my third book in my time travel series that began with Resonance and Dissonance, is on Amazon as a kindle and a paperback. That was a fun series to write, and for now, it is completed. I have also placed all three books from that series into one volume titled The Machina of Time.

If you’re looking for a science fiction story, try my book The Promise of Dust, which takes place in a cloud city floating in the atmosphere of Venus. Or Progenitor’s Legacy: Deceit, which takes place many years in the future on a tidally locked world that orbits a red dwarf and has been reached by humanity in their search for the alien progenitors who seeded the galaxy with nano machines.

If a young adult science fiction is more to your liking, check out my series This New Earth, that starts with Demons of a Dead World and Secrets of a Dead World.

If you are looking for a young adult fantasy, check out my book The Threads Unbound.
