Fleeting Glimpse

I've always wanted to write a space opera. Well, maybe not always, but for a while. This is a sort of teaser for that universe, which is supposed to incorporate an awful lot of other stories. To give you a taste, here are three that I've finished and put up on my blog and various social media accounts. Since they're still available for free elsewhere, I've decided to put these together in a DRM-free, e-reader-friendly format for easy distribution. If you like them, tell your friends. If you don't like them, I guess you can tell your friends about that too, but hopefully it doesn't come to that.

Since these are taken from my blog, there isn't really much more to them than what's here. You may see some common threads—space colonization, terraforming, corporatism, the occasional existential crisis—but they aren't really intended to be prequels or sequels to anything else, though they are presented here in chronological order. There are plans for plenty of novel-length stories and even a few series within the larger timeline, but these three are intended to be just little glimpses of what happens outside the big players' respective fields of vision.

Hopefully, you enjoy them enough to come back for more. As soon as more gets written, of course.

Humanity has spread itself to the stars, the colony orbiting Triton is dying, and 95-year-old Frank Peterson wants nothing more than to be done with it all. But is this desire just another heresy, a death wish, or something more?

The news of an alien fleet inbound came too late to save Rell's life, but it was never about her anyway.

The Ark Keeper holds the most important secret in the universe, but who does it protect more: the countless species it contains, or humanity itself?
