Rae

Heav’n but the Vision of fulfill’d Desire,

And Hell the Shadow from a Soul on fire,

Cast on the Darkness into which Ourselves,

So late emerged from, shall so soon expire.

Quatrain 67

What is connection between the suspect and the victim? How does the secret Rae is keeping tie into it?

Why Do I Keep Doing This?

Why do I have a completed story that I'm not getting ready for publication? Let me explain...

I have a story titled "Wanderer," set in the late twenty-second century. It's one of my EarthGov Security stories, which also includes "Last Light" (from Campfire Stories), On A Cold Wind, Rae and The Fault Lies Not... It centers on Special Agent Alexandra Sinclair, a courier with Division Five of EarthGov Security.  Alexa's main trait is here eidetic memory. Essentially she can never forget anything. "Wanderer" concerns a delivery that goes very bad, resulting in Alexa losing part of her memory. (She loses everything before age twenty, so she doesn't remember her parents, who disappeared when Alexa was still a teenager.)

It's finished. It's been finished for what seems like forever. And it's sitting on my hard drive, waiting.

I had always planned on writing a sequel to it but with all the other stories waiting to be completed, I don't know when I'll get to it. I have a few ideas, like Alexa being sent out on another delivery, meeting her future girlfriend/wife, witnessing an ancient race's mass suicide and coming to terms with the loss of her memories. But that can wait a little longer.

I'm probably going to wait until I finish "Raven" and "Stranger" (which are also EGS stories, both concerning Division Two) before I tackle "Wanderer." Since it's already complete, I'll just have to flesh it out a bit with a couple scenes added to the beginning. Then it should be good to go.

Now to keep from being sidetracked by other projects.

The Fault Lies Not...

And I looked, and behold, a pale horse:  And his name that sat on him was Death

The Book of Revelation 6:8

In the late twenty-sixth century, a serial killer roams the city of Naufolk. There is little evidence left at the scenes of the murders, and no trace of the killer shows up on any of the city’s scanners. It's up to EarthGov Security Special Agent Lin Sillo and her partner, Special Agent Vincent DeBurg, to stop him. But is there something behind the murders, something that reaches far beyond the city?

The Fault Lies Not… is available from Smashwords, Kindle, iTunes, NOOK & Lulu. Also available as Print On Demand from CreateSpace.

A Bright Symmetry

A Bright Symmetry is a series of stories set over the course of a year, stories of life, death and rebirth. After more than two thousand years, immortal Scott Madigan was tired of life and its unending struggles. But an archaeological expedition leads Scott to reassess and change his life...though nothing compares to the changes undergone by his lover, Zoe Baird.

The seven stories in A Bright Symmetry are…

“Only Time” – One year ago – Scott and Zoe travel back to Earth to visit with Scott’s friends, Brynna Alexander and her husband Georges Severin. While they reminisce, Zoe thinks she hears someone saying goodbye to her but can’t find who said it…

“A God To Dance With” – Seven months ago - Scott and Zoe are on an archaeological expedition to the planet Stelvra. They were there to investigate the myth of Quérahl-tan, the Stelvran’s Sleeping God. They were hoping to conduct the research before the planet’s unstable political system collapsed. But what was waiting for them in the tomb…and who would pay the consequences…

“Being” – Scott begins to come to terms with the aftermath of the events in the tomb, while getting to know the person Zoe had become. The suspicions of the ship’s captain weren’t helping him cope. Then a system failure threatened the whole ship and only one person can help them…

“Intermezzo” – Three months ago – Zoe’s condition has been deteriorating and she doesn’t know why. To help find a cure, Scott has to turn to the Science Directorate once again to set up an expedition to distant sector, one that is believed to be uninhabited…or is it…

“The Arc of Heaven” – One month ago – Scott contracts Arcadia Ryan, an old friend and independent starship master, to transport him, Zoe and a team of scientists and politicians to Zoe’s home to try and find out what’s wrong with her, as well as study her people and establish relations with them. But Scott hadn’t counted on the Science Directorate having its own agenda…

“Circle” – Two days ago – Arcadia brings Scott and Zoe back to Earth so they can tell Brynna and Georges what happened to Zoe. After misunderstandings, Scott finally finds out who said goodbye to Zoe on their last visit a year ago…

“…and Forever” – Now – Zoe learns one last secret as the final circle comes to a close.

A Bright Symmetry is available from Smashwords, Kindle, iTunes, NOOK & Lulu. Also available as Print On Demand from CreateSpace.
