Please do not edit in the wiki directly. If you find you have access, this is an error on my part. I am still learning how to setup the wiki.

Thank you for dropping by, I hope you enjoy the draft novels. At this time only one is available online below. As my efforts proceed I will move each final draft to a completed novels section.

Short Stories

Novels below are in progress, estimated complete by effort and page count.

These novels are adult fiction dealing with complex political issues, violence, sexuality, warfare, economic oppression, and other topics appropriate for mature audiences. Children and legal minors please consult your parents or legal guardian prior to entering the reading areas provided below. Thank you for behaving responsibly.

  • Background notes technology galactography etc
  • The Pathfinder - A novel of galactic contact and economic development.* ~95% by page count, 50% effort complete.
  • Terran Tankers - A draft novella under consideration for revision to full length commercial paperback. 75% by page count of a revised novella, 33% effort, all engineering and business case WAGs need supporting calculations to establish proper scales and theoretical viability relative to other operational scenarios. A full length novel would be two or three times what is here as a fairly standalone in the Pathfinder saga with the exception that probably should have read at least one full length novella for background.
