Welcome to Green Comet

Are you interested in lucid dreaming or ball lightning? How about the feet of geckos or spiders? The aquatic ape? Cave art? Maybe you like clouds. You might have a fascination with out-of-body or near-death experiences, collective nouns or synesthesia. You can find all that and more here. Just use the handy little search bar.

There’s a lot of interesting stuff here, but mostly this website exists as a place for the Green Comet trilogy and my other novels to live. Please sign the guest book.

YouTube – Green Comet – Chapter Thirty-Four

Today’s reading is chapter thirty-four of Green Comet, the first book in the Green Comet trilogy.

I will reveal the location of chapter thirty-three’s video when I post the next on-location video. Get your guesses in now.

In chapter thirty-four, Winston announces the debate to separate the comets. We see Fran debating with Winston again, supported by Elgin, Buzzard and Stanton. We see the audience swaying one way and the other. We see how they are united even as they are divided.

YouTube – Green Comet – Chapter Thirty-Three

Today’s reading is chapter thirty-three of Green Comet, the first book in the Green Comet trilogy. This is the last time I will record in this kind of wind.

Herein I issue a challenge to my local audience: Can you identify the location of this recording?

In chapter thirty-three, Elgin and Stanton are stunned by what Fran said. Elgin knows that it’s right, but he doesn’t want it to be. The Visitor is a machine and won’t listen to reason. They have to separate the comets. But first they have to have a debate to let the people decide.

YouTube – Green Comet – Chapter Thirty-Two

This reading is chapter thirty-two of Green Comet, the first book in the Green Comet trilogy.

I’m having fun with those outdoor videos, so you can expect to see more of them. We’ll see if any of my local audience can identify the locations.

In chapter 32, Fran is beginning to suspect that the Visitor is not what they are assuming. Meanwhile, their message to Orange Comet is on its way. People are starting to think of getting back to normal. But Fran and Buzzard come to a horrible realization.
