Welcome to Green Comet

There have been over 50,000 downloads of the stories in the Green Comet trilogy. If you’ve read any or all of them, then please drop a note in the comments below. I love to hear from readers, whether it’s a question or a compliment or a criticism, constructive or otherwise. Whatever you want to say, I want to hear it.

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.

This reading is Chapter One of The Francesians. It’s short and can be thought of as an introduction and a foreshadowing. Our hero, Elgin, is being brought up from enforced hibernation, and he’s worried about his beloved, Frances. They are both being punished for not endorsing the religion based on Frances – The Francesians. What are you supposed to do when your saints are still alive and they don’t agree with you?
