I have one published novel (Olympus) and one unpublished (Transient Risk) and both of them end with cliffhanger promises of a sequel. For my earliest readers, it has been 25 years of waiting for me to keep that promise.
          
          I finally have the books that will keep that promise. Here's the complete line-up. Now I just have to do a little more writing:
          
          String Theory (draft complete; holding it until book 3 is done)
          Paradigm Lost (in progress)
          Climate Change (intersects with Transient Risk and its sequel)
          Game Theory (intersects with Olympus and its sequel)
          Destroyer of Worlds (climax of the 9 book series)
          Fictional Science ("explainer" for the entire String Theory universe)

I just got notified you've started a new book "String Theory." I was never notified of "Transient Risk." It has been over three years, so I had given up on you.  Where have you been?

I’m working on the sequel to Transient Risk in my early morning writing time and cleaning up Book 1 during the day. If I left you hanging at the end of Book 1, you’re welcome to pick up the story in “Thought Crimes.” I’m up to Chapter 6.

Just finished the last chapter of “Transient Risk.” I have a ton of work ahead of me (plot holes, character development, chapter length, dialog tags, etc., etc.) but it is finally a story that isn’t going to be changing every time you turn around.

To my very patient followers—I just wrote the last chapter of “Transient Risk.” So all of you who suffered through four names changes and five covers can breathe a little easier.
          
          This is still very rough. Lots and lots of work ahead of me... and now I get to start on book 2.

If you like hard sci-fi and haven’t found The High Five yet, you’re missing out. KnotANumber is doing a great job. Five handicapped humans on an interplanetary mission in zero G. Clever, well-written, worth a look!

KnotANumber has a REALLY nice opening chapter to a hard sci-fi story. I’m jealous. But I’m willing to share with the rest of the children. It’s only one chapter, but it’s worth studying for style!

My very literate daughter read the start of my story. “Too dark! You have to make people LIKE your characters before you drag them through the knothole!”
          
          So there’s a brand new chapter one. And, of course, yet another new title and cover. Because I talked to a publicist yesterday and we’re actually going to do this thing.
          
          So—take a peek at Chapter One (brand new) of “Transient Risk” (brand new title, same work in progress) and tell me whether you think my daughter will be happy with my opening now.
