The Big Picture

The Galaxy Collision or GC universe is broken down into three parts for ease of story telling. 


Pre-War (Starforgers Era) | War (Starstrikers Era) | Post-War (Starveyers Era)

The novels in the parens are the three cornerstones if you will of the series.  As of this writing, only one is fini

Welcome to the Galaxy Collision Universe!

This site will be more than just a conversation about the novel Starstrikers. It will also explore the universe that the novel is set in and that includes all the various short stories and novels set in the Galaxy Collision Series.

I hope you will join me in this exploration. If you have read Starstrikers or any of the short stories set in this universe join me in the forums to discuss them. If you have read Starstrikers and enjoyed it, please recommend it to a friend and tell them about this site.

As time permits, I will be adding pictures and short stories and all kinds of technical details about the universe, so I hope you will be a regular visitor and a valued contributor.

Be sure to check out the first draft copy of Tyrmia, the next book set in the Galaxy Collision Series, now being serialized in the forums.

Final Proof and Next Signing

I should be getting the final proof copy of Starstrikers about mid-week. As soon as I look it over and decide its good to go, I will go online and approve it for sale on Amazon and in the CreateSpace online store. I'm told by Amazon that it will take several weeks to fully appear on their website. As soon as I'm certain that you can order it, I will send an alert to everyone and let them know. If you live in the Boise area, you may want to purchase it locally. I will have some copies wit… Continue

Short Story a Success on Scribd

If you have not read my short story, "Rock Collection" over on Scribd, you should. It's only a thousand words and its been described as very cute. Currently, it has over 1700 hits on Scribd which makes it my most popular story ever. It was a featured story on Scribd last week, which explains the exposure, but to my delight, people are coming to read it and staying to read some of my other stories. If you have come to this site, after having read "Rock Collection", thanks for giving Starstrik… Continue

Are you reading Tyrmia?

Tyrmia is my next novel and I'm posting the first draft of it online in the Forum section of this site. Tyrmia is set after the Great War featured in Starstrikers. It is about a starfighter pilot who crashed on a primitive world and then gets involved in saving a primitive tribe from the same people who started the war. Since this is a first draft, there are all kinds of grammar and structure errors in these chapters. Just imagine that you are sitting over my shoulder as th… Continue

Kindle, Scribd Update

For those of you waiting for the final release of Starstrikers, you can now start reading it on-line and on your Kindle. Both Scribd and Kindle now have the final release version online. Not sure how wonderful it will look on Kindle, as they wanted a plane HTML version to upload. But the Scribd version looks fantastic. For the finest version, you will need to spring for the printed book. If all goes according to plan, that should be available on 10/10/2008. I should have the final galley… Continue

Starstrikers Galleys

Byron has been tweaking the final galleys for the Starstrikers novel and I just have to tell you, they are looking awesome! This novel will be far nicer than most self-published SF novels and even better looking than many small press books. When you have the time, the talents and the drive for perfection, you can achieve some pretty impressive results. Starstrikers will look great thanks to Byron's tireless efforts in design. I hope readers will think my prose is worthy of his desi… Continue

Kindle Sales Update

It looks like my SF novel Starstrikers has finally sold enough copies on Amazon’s Kindle to justify sending me a residual check.  It’s not going to be enough to actually buy the paper book, but it will get me lunch, which is not bad.  The actual Trade Paperback goes on sale, later this month.  I’m [...]

First Snow of the Season

The snowflakes were huge, and they stuck around all night.  Check out how green this picture is.  If you didn’t know it was October, you would swear it was taken in July.
