I'm watching Adventure Time as I write this – my nephews like it and I have to admit I think it's pretty cool. The writing is excellent and the background surprisingly sophisticated. The whole back story for Marceline and the Ice King is stunningly. Best I advise you just go find a copy of I Remember You and watch it. You will see what I mean.

But this is supposed to be about me, the writer. My main series, The Price of Freedom, currently runs to four novels and begins with The Last King's Amulet, which you can find free here (at least for now). The book sells well enough, as does the rest of the series, but I see no big issue with making it free here, in part as an introduction to my work. Lets face it, I can't hunt down all the pirate sites even if I felt inclined to do so, and at least the book is made free here by my own volition.

I also write an Apocalyptic SF series called Dancing with Darwin and one of those, Evolving Environment, can be found free elsewhere by those who are interested.

More about me. I'm a big Firefly fan. I currently watch House MD and The Big Bang Theory, though they both suffer some in the later series – hard to complain at that as most TV series run out of steam and need new elements to keep them going. The easiest way to add some impetus to a story is add new characters but it is also fraught with the risk of diluting the original idea. This happens a lot in TV and is probably inevitable – though, if Dancing with Darwin ever gets picked up for TV it wouldn't be a problem as new characters are kind of built into the structure. Well, I can dream, can't I? Dancing with Darwin directed and produced by Joss Whedon, starring Summer Glau, and maybe with Nathon Fillion and the rest of the Firefly crew. Okay, never going to happen, but dreams are not supposed to come true. At least I know one thing for sure, the series writers would thank me because Dancing with Darwin is a endless mine with a rich seam of story ideas.

Well, out of space.
