A FEW FAVS...

On another thread, I was asked about favorite childhood books.

These four were constant companions for a time. I read and re-read them often as a kid.

I still have three of them, though two are not the same copies I had back then.

Happy Reading!

STILL BOLDLY GOING...

Over 6,000 views so far! Thank you so much! If you haven't seen it yet, please take a look at Starship Webster's "Periphery" episode that I wrote.

It's available to watch on-line free at YouTube and Vimeo.

Enjoy.

Bobby

When the U.S.S. Webster finds the missing U.S.S. Sagittarius adrift in space, they beam over only to find the ship deserted. Evidence points to a run-in with Romulans, or maybe Klingons, but as Captain Lattimer and the landing party investigate, they realize something strange is happening on board. And now it has turned its sights on the Webster’s crew.

WE LOVE READER REVIEWS! GALLOPING AROUNF 4 STARS!

We Love Reader Reviews! Big thanks to Lila Phillips for her kind words and 4 Star Amazon review of Galloping Around The Cosmos. Much appreciated. Read it HERE or bewlow

"Wonderful nostalgia for the future. Had a great time with this book! Whenever you discovered Star Trek, if you’re now a fan, you were never again the same! This book captures all the Technicolor-related fun derived from finding the original series TV show. Interesting fan reminiscences, with some more than a bit surprising, even touching. Brought me back to when the future indeed was so bright. It still can be, with Star Trek as our guide. Highly recommended, and dare I say, “fascinating”! Live long and prosper!"

Thanks again.

THE POWER OF EDUCATION...


I ran across these pages on the internet HERE today so I guess it's okay to share. I wrote a comic book for the United states Embassy of Peru called Power of Education. This is their 3rd comic. Credits page in the image. Not sure if it will ever be released in the continental U.S. or not, but I had a blast working on it.

Thursday...

It was a pretty good day in the ol' writing office. Words were slung, stories were finished, plans were hatched, and shenanigans commenced. Well, maybe not so much on the shenanigans front, but still a good day. Time to push away from the desk for the night. I'm beat. Sweet dreams, my friends. Let's do it again tomorrow, huh?

THE PATREON SERIALIZED NOVELLA 'STANDING ON THE SHADOWS - A TOM MYERS MYSTERY' CONTINUES! CHAPTER 15!

 

It's the final chapter of Standing on the Shadows - A Tom Myers Mystery, an all-new serialized novella running exclusively on Patreon. You can read it HERE. Join us today for as little as $1 a month and never miss a chapter. A new serialized story will begin soon.

The next step is for me to give it a once over and self-publishing pass. I think I may need to tighten up the mystery part with some additional clues. I will definitely give that a look. If there were any clues or misdirection that fell flat for you, please let me know. After I give it an edit pass, it's off to the editor for an edit pass. Once we get it hammered into shape, I'll start on production. Jeffrey Hayes of Plasmafire Graphics fame has already completed the cover and it looks fantastic.

With Sheriff Myers' 3rd book in the can, I will also move to do a collected volume such as I do with the Snow books. More on that soon.

Read the opening chapter of this novella for FREE right HERE. If you enjoy the free preview, please consider joining us today on Patreon for as little as $1 a month and never miss a chapter. Tiers start as low as $1 a month.

AN-FICTION: NO LONGER A DIRTY WORD?

I joined Sean Taylor's Writer Roundtables this week to talk about writing fan-fiction. Give it a read right HERE.

I don't do a lot of fan fiction, but I've certainly tried my hand at it. I started out writing and drawing my own comics, first using established characters and later creating my own.

I also wrote a few Star Trek fan films, primarily to see if I could write a decent script, but also because I enjoy the world and the filmmakers I was working with. It was great practice. I learned a lot.

These days, I do a good deal of media tie-in writing, which writes established characters, but is not fan fiction as it is licensed from the IP owner and has to go through them for approvals. Lots of DOs and DON'Ts in tie-in writing. In fan-fiction, you pretty much do what you want. The important thing to remember when doing fan-fiction is that you do not own it. That means you can't sell it. You can't make money on it. That's when the lawyers of the people who own said characters start sending out cease and desist letters.

WORDSLINGIN' TIME!


And she rides! I just polished up a comic book script (issue 3 of a 3 issue series) and sent it hurtling toward the publisher for edits. They're probably thinking, "It's About Time!" Heh. I hope the publisher enjoys it. It's always tricky making sure you stick the landing. Fingers crossed.

Details about the project will be revealed once the publisher makes them public. Keep watching this site.

Lance Star and the Ghost Squadron
Chapter 4.

Lance Star took immediate evasive action. As a veteran of a world war and countless adventures that put his team and aircraft in the crosshairs of one villain or another, his reflexes were sharp. There wasn’t much he couldn’t pull off in the cockpit of an airplane.

The Skybolt dropped like a stone, the straps tightening as they pinned the passengers to their seats. “Talk to me, Buck!”

“Bogey coming in from two o’clock,” Buck’s voice echoed in his ear. A combat air ace, his voice remained neutral, calm. “One incoming surface to air missile. We’re being painted as the target, but I can’t tell from where. Bring us around for another look.”

“Hold onto your hats.” Lance took the plane into a roll, spinning the Skybolt out of the path of the missile, which passed by them, missing by only a few feet. The maneuver also gave Buck a better line of sight with the launch site. Surface to air missiles followed a search beam pointed at the target, painting it for the missile to find. Selenium cells reflected the beam to keep the missile flying true.

It was a good system, and worked well enough, but an experienced pilot suck as Lance Star had a better than average chance of escaping the beam.

Above them, the missile exploded, a shockwave hitting the Skybolt. No damage, but a turbulent ride.

“See anything, Buck?”

“Not yet. I--- We’ve got another missile incoming!”

Buck’s shouted warning sent Lance into instant evasive maneuvers. The missile flew past, missing the Skybolt by mere inches.

“Number three incoming,” Buck called.

“Hold on,” Lance told his passenger before pulling up hard on the yoke and taking the silver streak of a plane into a steep climb. “Anything, Buck?” he called through the mic.

“Clocked it!” Buck shouted, triumphant. “I’ve got a fix on the launch site’s location. They’re tucked in under a massive rocky outcropping. Or maybe it’s a cavern entrance. Hard to see from the air. I only got a fix on it because of the missile’s smoke trail.”

“Where’s the missile now?”

“Heading right for us, Lance,” Buck warned. “Putting us in place to spot the site also put us in the crosshairs.”

“We’re not beat yet,” Lance said. “There’s still a few tricks I haven’t tried yet.”

“Oh, my stomach doesn’t like the sound of that,” Cutter said from behind Lance.

“Didn’t you used to do barrel rolls after eating a big breakfast?” Lance joked as he took the Skybolt into a similar maneuver to the one they were discussing.

“That was a long time ago, pal,” Cutter groaned, feeling intense pressure push him deeper into his seat. “I’m not that guy anymore.”

“Lucky for you, I am,” Lance started, but a hard impact silenced him. The missile slammed into the Skybolt and exploded.

To be continued…

The first 6 chapters can also be found on Patreon.

MAY I PLAY WITH YOUR TOYS?

I took part in Sean Taylor's Writing Roundtable this week. Read it HERE.

For our newest writer roundtable, let's take a look at writing characters created by other people. There are several ways we can do this, from being hired to write a licensed character (like Superman, The Phantom, She-Hulk, etc.), reviving a public domain character (like The Black Bat, Domino Lady, Sherlock Holmes, etc.), or being hired to ghostwrite for someone else's plot and character ideas.

"I often use Star Trek TOS as an example of how to write established IPs. Almost every episode starts with the Enterprise flying through space. Then, bad stuff happens that they have to deal with, but the story ends with the Enterprise flying through space." - Bobby Nash

I hope you'll check it out.
