Saturday Snippet: Space Colony One Part IV
I'm sticking with the early parts of Space Colony One again this week. Anything from later on has too many spoilers! In this snippet, the Defender called Strongquist approaches Cariad as she's recovering from the bomb blast. He wants to enlist her help to find the...
Exciting News & Galactic Battles
The red alert is flashing aboard Starship JJ Green this week, but don't worry, the Borg aren't attacking. It's a celebration! You may remember a few weeks ago I submitted a story to a science fantasy anthology to be edited by the successful science fiction author,...
Saturday Snippet: Space Colony One Part III
Welcome back for another Saturday Snippet! This week we're returning to humanity's first deep space colony. I'm around a third of the way into the first draft of this novel, but today I'm posting a glimpse of chapter three. Last week, a bomb explosion endangered the...
An Amazon Bestseller & Free Sci-Fi Books!
This week seems a good time to escape planet Earth and its wild weather events. To anyone who is/was in the path of Irma, I hope you and your family are safe and escaped any damage from the storm. As I write this, a typhoon is heading towards Taiwan, so I know a...
Saturday Snippet: Space Colony One Part II
I've been steaming ahead with Space Colony One this week, and I'm actually at chapter eight and 21,000 words into the story. It's a first draft, so it's still very rough. I tidied this one up a little before copying it here, but it still isn't perfect. The major...
Cool Sci-Fi Books & Reader Questions
I was answering some interview questions last night about writing science fiction, and one of them was why I chose to write in the genre. That got me thinking...what was it that first attracted me to writers like Asimov, Dick, Heinlein and even H.G. Wells when I was a...
Who Is Your Favourite Game of Thrones Character?
Did you hear the news earlier this week that three planets with roughly the same mass as Earth have been discovered only 12 light years away? The planets aren't within the zone where we think life can exist, but I thought the discovery was exciting nonetheless. The...
Saturday Snippet: Space Colony One
It's always a great feeling to start a new series, and this week I finally managed to do just that! I haven't given the series a name yet, so for the moment, because the story is set in humanity's first deep space colony, I'm calling it Space Colony One. Last week's...
Saturday Snippet: Night of Flames
Welcome back for another Saturday Snippet! As often happens, I was too optimistic about what I would achieve writing-wise this week, and I can't bring you a snippet of my new space colonisation series...except that I can! I didn't manage to begin book one in the...
M.D. Cooper New Release & More Awesome Sci-Fi News
As you can see, Jas Harrington's eyewear wasn't suitable for viewing the eclipse, but I promise you she was only chasing villains. She's far too smart to risk damaging her eyes, even if, in her time period, the docs can grow new ones for you. Did you see the eclipse?...
Saturday Snippet: Star Mage Exile IV
Saturday is here again and that means it's time for a snippet! This week, I'm bringing you the fourth extract from Star Mage Exile. If you missed the story so far, go here to read the first post. I'm about two-thirds of the way through writing Star Mage Exile. What...
Triple Whammy Sci-Fi Books
In the alternate universe where Starship JJ Green voyages, it's good things that come in threes, and this week I have three books I'm especially proud to bring you. But before I tell you what they are, I wanted to talk about holidays (or vacations as you say in the...
