Hello Team PoM!

I’ve been typing and editing like a madwoman, but loving every minute of it! This book is the book I’ve wanted to write for years, and every time I sit at my computer, I get chills. It probably doesn’t help that its cold in my house and I need a sweater, but I like to think its something more intrinsic that makes me shiver. 

In any event, I’m working hard, and thought I’d say thank you so much to those who have pre-ordered the book! I’m so excited for you to read it. Plausible Hard Science Fiction has been a passion of mine since I read Contact as a kid years ago, and since I have a science background its pretty fun to meld what I know is fact with stuff that just doesn’t exist yet, but probably will because it would be awesome and there are a lot of really smart people out there that could make it happen. 

Keep your eyes peeled, Chapter 2 and 3 are forthcoming! Cool stuff happens, including the introduction of some new characters, some major conflict, more dinosaur info than you could possibly ever want (I don’t believe that for a second though!), and a cool piece of tech that hasn’t been quite invented yet, but should, because its awesome. My vert paleo friends would LOVE this thing. Seriously. It would make everything so much more easier. 

Excelsior folks!

All, thank you for the support. Things have been progressing well! I’m writing and editing the manuscript like mad, mostly at night after I put my kids to bed. I’m also really working at figuring out how Inkshares.com works. Its such an amazing tool to help authors reach a broad audience as well as meet like-minded readers. I can’t stop browsing all the fantastic titles!

In any event, I’ll keep updating you all with my status as things change. For my early followers, I posted Chapter 1 a few days ago, and I hope you got a chance to read it! If you liked it, please recommend or highlight a passage. Feedback is very important to me, so feel free to write down your thoughts! 

Chapter 3 is forthcoming, so keep your eyes peeled!

As my hero Stan Lee would say, Excelsior!
