"Born of the Ashes" Ryk

Had a really rough February. Had to move, had to deal with problems with my elderly mother, and then had a humdinger of a stomach flu. (102 for 4 days...

Chris, that wouldn't work. If you're already on one side of a star, you can't just continue jumping forward to change direction. Jumps occur along the...

Got a bit derailed by a move followed by a case of the stomach flu that put me down for about ten days. Writing like mad to get it out by late April/e...

Although they do not yet fully understand how it works, they do know how to make it work. The problem with interstellar travel is not the distance, b...

Shall I explain?

We're working on them.

Thomas, Tantor Media has the audio rights for episodes 1-9, and just made an offer (which we accepted) for 10-15 as well. Maybe you can access them...

According to Tantor's website (they have the audio rights to 1-15) Liberation is due out by April 15th. FYI: Now that Tantor has purchased the rest ...

Gary: There is a place for both, depending on the scene. Eric: No lens flare. Cheap and distracting. (And WAY over used by a certain director.)

Just to prevent anyone from desperately saving up for the last book; 1-15 will all be priced at $2.99, regardless of length. 16 and up will proba...

Thanks Bill, For now, I've decided not to reveal any faces as I see them, for just the reasons you suggest. Ship designs and star charts? Hell yes....

Just to clarify the structure of the series. Each 'Part' is 15 episodes long. All story threads introduced within that part are concluded within that ...

I love this thread! Ryk

I'm going to address some of the OP's statements just to point out an obvious fact. When one doesn't have all the information, one also doesn't have ...

I normally would not get involved in these discussions, as it's too easy for a "spoiler" to slip into the conversation. But I'd like to point out one ...

Nothing is ever an accident, or an oversight. Why are surrounded, all of us, by mysteries, many of which are hiding in plain sight. I will say no mor...

Super = greater than Hyper = many times greater than

While I can't give details, we've been in that "first phase" that Eric Nay describes since book 3. (He describes the process with amazing accuracy.) I...

Amazon does compensate us for borrowed books. The rate varies, depending on the size of the money pool and the number of borrows, but since my books a...

One of the things I do a bit differently is that I don't always give all the answers. I do this because in life, you don't always know everything, and...

The Aurora actually has used that tactic, or one similar to it to some extent, however, it is not as easy to apply as you might think. One of the thi...

nwoods: Thanks for your post. And thanks for the tip on the link problem. I can't really do anything about other books using Aurora as a ship name. An...

I used to draw a lot, and do some photography. (Back in the days when it still involved a darkroom.) Not so much anymore, as I don't have the time. Ab...

I definitely wouldn't reveal any upcoming plot lines. What about character likenesses?

Oceaneer, Don't worry, I never plan to get too many threads going at once. What you saw in book 9 is about as complex as it will ever get. If the F...
