Overview: About the author: I’m a just a guy, married, with all the normal kids ‘n dogs ‘n gardens ‘n guns ‘n books ‘n canoes ‘n fig trees ‘n things. Got a degree in computer science in the ’80s. Got a masters in teaching and became a certified teacher in 2004. Been a certified NRA shooting instructor since I’m not sure when. Did the Army thing for six years in the reserves (drove boats, sometimes in a desert – go figure). Did the private sector thing at MSFT. Did the free-lance thing in various fields, and doing it again now in the same fields but differently. Did the public-sector thing (teaching). Did the stay-at-home-parent thing. Now, because I was unemployed and taking care of the kids for a while, I’ve done the “write a novel” thing, too; a lot of work, but a lot of fun. Time will tell what the pay-scale is like.
Genre: Science Fiction
Back From the Dead
Helton Strom is just a guy between contracts when he runs afoul of both planetary officialdom and space pirates. He is left with nothing but the clothes on his back, and not even a citizenship to his name. Is the ancient, broken-down military surplus starship and the young lady living aboard it the key to a bright future, or will his repairs and new mercenary friends reawaken the demons lurking in the ship’s murky and lethal past?
BACK FROM THE DEAD is the first book in The Stars Came Back series. It is a space western, the story of regular folks just trying stay alive, seeking work to earn money for repairs to get to the next job, with no shortage of action and adventure along the way. It is military sci-fi, featuring a company of mercenaries, spaceship combat, mortar and rifle combat, spear-and-shield battle, and post-traumatic stress disorder. And it is a philosophical investigation, pondering everything from the lessons of Achilles to how one stops a bar fight with earplugs.
IMPORTANT: note that BACK FROM THE DEAD is the prose version of the first half of the screenplay-format original THE STARS CAME BACK.
The Heretics of St. Possenti
Bishop Thomas Cranberry finds himself at a loss when he is confronted by a thief and realizes some disturbing truths about himself. The experience sends him in search of the men who are increasingly absent from the Church, who find themselves at a loss in a world that has gone increasingly feral, and who feel that they have nowhere to go and no one to whom they can turn for support. In listening to them and attempting to understand their plight, he finds an unexpected mission.
