My characters are all "just people" - people you might know - and the things that happen are things that anybody might do if they lived on a freighter that spent most of its time in the Deep Dark.

I can write three novels in the time it takes to write one novella. I'm probably not going to go with that form again.

Podiobooks rules. It's still the best way I know to find an audience for longer works in any genre.

I only read on my phone and the whole "let's see if we can get people to do it" idea seems less "wouldn't it be cool if we could get people to do it" and more "what else would people do."

I credit Podiobooks and the free audio podcasts for helping me develop the audience I needed when I started selling my books in text forms.

My opinion is that more authors could use podcasts to differentiate themselves in a crowded text-based marketplace.

My works are a direct response to the typical space opera. I grew tired of always reading about how the people with power, with agency, get involved in huge sweeping arcs of stories. I wanted stories that dealt with real people, people I could relate to.
