Today, the print proof of Space Struggles arrived and it looks just like I envisioned. 🙂
It feels great to have it in hand before the Kickstarter Campaign even has ended. It means that the fulfillment process will be smooth and nobody needs to wait for their copy of the book. 🙂
The first story in the collection is Lost Friends Lost Loves. Here is a little sneak peak… 😉
Are you interested in the collection, you can back the Kickstarter campaign before it ends… 🙂
I’m reading Fleet of Knives right now, and am enjoying it. 🙂
This is the second book in Gareth L Powers Embers of War series. It’s space opera that explores the legacies of war. I’ve written a short story about what happens after the war (Good morning victorious), and this trilogy explores some of the same themes.
I’ve just finished reading Obsession in Death, which is the 40th book in the In Death series. It’s police procedurals taking place in the future. The first novel takes place in the year 2058. Because it’s the 40th book in the series, you can probably guess that I love this series. 🙂
I’ve always loved a good mystery and combined with my favorite genres of fantasy and/or science fiction it’s totally the best. Which is probable the reason why a lot of my stories includes some kind of mystery. 🙂
What have you read recently that you enjoyed? 🙂
Descansar, the largest space station in this part of the galaxy. Home to ordinary people trying to make a living, smugglers and other criminals taking what they thought were the easy route, and security personnel always in pursuit of the truth or at least what they believe to be the truth. A hub for trade, travel, and shady dealings.
On Descansar everything can happen, and given enough time it will…
For me as a writer, Descansar is a fascinating world.
In a large space station like Descansar, a myriad of different people with diverse world view interacts. I’m fascinated by how we, as humans, navigate through the maze of different cultures and norms. At Descansar there isn’t a government or an organization in charge. It works like a city that has grown from a small marketplace to a gigantic city. This means the space station itself forms the same type of mosaic as the people aboard. Add to that the confined quarters and the restriction it means to be in space with no easy escape if something goes wrong, it makes for fascinating stories to explore.
The stories all circle around the space station, but not all of them take place at it. You’ll meet different people with needs and goals. Some of them are struggling to make a living. Some are grieving for a loved one and take desperate actions to handle that grief. And some are just trying to do what they believe is right.
Does it sound interesting?

I’m running a campaign for a paperback collection with the first five stories in Descansar Universe.

Not safe!
Gigantic signs. Authorized Personnel Only.
Why meet here?
Then Cezar arrives with scary plans.
A sweet story of a date. And an exciting discovery.
A new delightful science fiction story in the Descansar Universe.

Old, sentient, filled with life.

Life at Descansar – Heart-warming science fiction!
Obnoxious smell. Thick, acrid, and kind of sweet. Interior burned to a crisp.
But shiny, new-looking walls?

For me as a writer, Descansar is a fascinating world. A couple of the backers of my campaign launching Arson, the first story in the Descansar Universe, has asked me why, so I’m going to tell you a bit about why this world is so intriguing to me.
