All, thank you for the support. 

Based on some of the  great feedback I have received I have revised the first 3 chapters to tighten them up and improve the plot. They are now up on Inkshares.

As the Geek and Sundry Hard Science Fiction contest is winding down in only a few days I want to thank everyone that has supported me in this project. The response and feedback were great. I appreciate how friends and family have come out to support me and how people I do not know have embraced my first efforts into becoming an author.

I also want to thank the teams at Inkshares and Geek and Sundry for holding this contest, I have learned a lot.

I would like to also thank Purple Toga for their support in this project. Some of the competitors are offering mug or t-shirts, but Purple Toga is offering a free book with pre-orders of mine.  Details are at www.purpletoga.com/deals 

  Thank you all again, and good luck to my competitors.

Hello all! Things are going well... 

"First on Mars" now has several reviews. I want to thank each and every one of you that left a review! Michael, Stephen, Joy, and Joanna, thank you!

I’m still plugging away at the book. It’s coming along nicely although still not ready for prime-time. I’m still moving things around, renaming chapters, adding more detail, etc. 

"First on Mars" is only FOUR orders behind the book above in the contest and seven behind the next! If you haven’t yet pre-ordered, what are you waiting for? And if you have, please help me out by recommending, reviewing, referring people, or all of the above!

Meanwhile, here’s something pretty to look at:
