Books Section

This section is dedicated to my attempts to become a published science fiction novelist. No success so far and I have no intention of giving up my day job.

In 1989, I wrote a complete novel, Awakening, set in my future history, in 2702CE. I tried for a while to get it published and get an agent, but then I got on with life and got a real job. Someday, I'll convert the text to html and post it here, but for now, it's dumped in this directory as a single Microsoft Word document. It comes in at 724kb and 113,000 words.

I wrote a second novel, Kali, in 1991, but I was never 100% happy with it. In October 2005, I participated in the National Novel Writing Month and I took the plot, together with new or reworked characters and completely rewrote the story as The Needle and the Skull. As of March 2006, I'm still working on the second draft, but I did manage to make myself a prospective cover.
