I've started a blog for a new book just getting under way: Write Your Nonfiction Book Online. After using blogs (including this one) to create and promote three books, it seems natural to do it for a fourth. Blogs make good workspaces for print projects, especially those requiring access to online resources. And once the book is out, the blog becomes a promotional space and a way to update and correct the text.It's also now possible, of course, to write and publish online, so fiction writers may find some of the content of the new blog useful for that purpose also.
Some of My Books
The Fall of the Republic
In a parallel timeline, 1990s America discovers the chronoplanes: parallel worlds at different points in history.Rogue Emperor
The hijacking of the Roman Empire, 100 AD, by 21st-century Christian fundamentalists, in the second of the Chronoplane Wars novels.The Empire of Time
My first novel, published in 1978, but the last in the Chronoplane Wars trilogy.Gryphon
"Write a space opera," my editor said. So I did, with some nanotech thrown in.Tsunami
A companion novel to Icequake, set mostly in California.Icequake
A disaster thriller (Antarctic ice sheet surges into ocean), dated but still fun.Eyas
Originally published in 1982, and still the novel I'm most proud of.
