In January, 2007, I sat down at my word processor to see if I could write a novel-length work of science fiction. I was tired of the save-the-universe stories where the hero was a king or the captain of the ship. I wanted to know what that famous red-shirted crewman did before he got sent on the Away Team and killed. I wanted to think about what it would do to our vision of the universe if we sent out freighters instead of frigates, sent an airline and not an air force.

The result is The Golden Age of the Solar Clipper.

The main narrative consists of the Trader’s Tales from the Golden Age of the Solar Clipper. All six books in the series are available at Podiobooks.com or as free audio downloads on the iTunes music store.

Currently, I’m working on Cape Grace — the sequel to South Coast, book one in a spin off series that explores the life of a South Coast shaman.

Over the years, I’ve been honored with six Parsec Award finalists and in 2011 I became the first person to win back-to-back Parsec Awards in the Long Form category for Owner’s Share.
