Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.4 MB
Overview: I am a former software engineer writing science fiction and fantasy novels. I am attempting to write what starts as hard science fiction (but with elements like FTL). I am also trying to develop alien characters who are different from the usual generic pulp ones. Most of my stories include some humorous elements.
I write in a style that intentionally violates Anton Chekov’s story rules. I intentionally include false threads, and people make mistakes and wrong decisions. A gun set on a table may not be used, it may be jammed, or it may not play a part in the story until book five in a series. That way, when you read something, you may go, “Oh, a hint, the story will do this later.” It may or may not.
My stories also usually include some romantic elements but with an odd twist or strange hurdle that must be crossed. I create aliens that are hopefully unique and different. That said, a romance between a human and a “real” alien may have some physical or cultural differences that need to be dealt with.
Due to some adult humor, the recommended reading age is High School and up.
