THE BOOKS

 

 

If you are looking for an entertaining and thought-provoking book, you have come to the right place.  For readers looking for something a little different in the science fiction genera, check out Never Alone.  If you are more interested in a good story, try Gordion’s Knot.  For those who like to get involved in a long-running series full of quirky characters and beautiful settings, Liberty’s Gold is for you.  It is the first in a series of novels in the mystery/adventure genera that follow Eric and Amy Howard.  Without giving away the plots, I can say that there are currently six books in this series that are already written and ready to go.  But it’s more fun to let the story unfold and keep my readers guessing.  Try Liberty’s Gold and I promise that you won’t be disappointed in where the series eventually takes you.

 

By the way, Starkit, my first published novel, is really part of a series that spans something like a dozen books and thousands of years of science fiction history.  In the real future, my readers will see sequels and prequels to Starkit that will keep them entertained and asking for more.

 

I also write non-fiction.  As a result of my career as a forester, I have become something of an authority on several extremely esoteric but important subjects.  It would be reasonable for the readers who come to this site to read about data management or federal lands policy to want to read some of my fiction.  I doubt that the reverse is true.  It would be hard to believe that someone looking for a good novel would suddenly want to lean about managing huge datasets.  But who know?  Stranger things have happened!  If so, check out my non-fiction books too.

 

Starkit

 

​

What do you do when overpopulation has no more room to grow on Earth?  You take to the skies and build orbiting space habitats.  But what do you do when they all fill up and there is still no more room left.  You build a new star!

​

 

 

Starkit is set in a time when such technology is no longer unthinkable.  In fact, Carmina Burana is the android daughter of the man who devised the plan to build the new star and to provide the space that humans need for their expansion that is close enough to Earth to do them any good.

She embarks on a quest to redeem her famous relative’s dream and in the process save humanity.  Seems simple enough?  Not when an evil and demented associate tries to thwart her every move.

This book is available in paperback from Amazon or Xlibris.com.  Just search on the title or my full name.
