Potentially Habitable Planets Right Next Door - relatively speaking ...

Who wants to go Hiving, pioneering in the stars?

And here comes a symbol you might be familiar with:


O_O


It's the one I generally use to indicate one of those 'weird coincidences' that keep popping up during the writing of this series of books.


That they're still popping up after all this time, and they're almost always pretty (or VERY) new scientific 'discoveries' that relate in some way to our story lines still strikes me as a little weird - okay maybe a lot weird, but what the heck am I supposed to do, ignore them? Can't do that, the Characters would pitch fits all over the Spiral.

In my head, we in our own time are at least a thousand years away from 'Hiving the Stars' ... or so I thought ... until today ... 

Danann takes place far in our future, as do the short stories about our 'early pioneers' ... and COME HELL AND HIGH WATER is set well over ten thousand years far in our past. I don't write about 'current events'; at least I don't intend to.

Heaven help me.

I can't hardly keep up with our Characters ... let alone today's scientists ... 

O_O

Slated to come out this year (2016) COME HELL AND HIGH WATER is fiction ... at least it's supposed to be ... but ... maybe not totally ... apparently ...
