Just thought I'd give you an update of what I'm doing - if only so you don't think I'm simply sitting on my backside all day! (I am - but I don't want you to think that!)
My next book a space opera called "Spaced" has just come back from the editors last night, and I'm currently going a little blind going through the revisions. But it's all in a good cause and with a little luck Spaced should be published within the next month or so. I should also say I'm enjoying the experience of having it published by Tickety Boo Press - you guys should check out some of their other authors. They do a lot of space opera and fantasy. And as you can see above, their cover art is pretty cool too!
And just to wet your appetites here's a first draft of the blurb:
Spaced.
The Translation
Drive. The wonder of the ages. And the drive that opened up the universe to
exploration. But the drive has a down side. With the push of a button you could
be anywhere in the universe. But you could also be eternally lost – Spaced.
This is the fate
that befalls Doctor Carmichael Simons. Returning to Aquaria after a successful
mineral survey he finds himself named as a terrorist and bomber. With the
police trying to kill him and the navy closing in, he does the unthinkable. He
jumps wild, in effect spacing himself. Now he can never get home and clear his
name – but that won't stop him trying.
Back on Aquaria
Detective Annalisse Samara, given the task of investigating the bombing and
finding out why a respected scientist would blow up a hydroponics reserve,
begins work. But what she uncovers may well turn the Commonwealth on its head
and get her killed.
In the end they
may both be spaced.
Cheers, Greg.
