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.

These free novels, Creative Commons licensed Green Comet, and its sequels Parasite Puppeteers and The Francesians, tell an expansive story of love and adventure on an inhabited comet. To learn more about the trilogy, and for samples, visit the Welcome page. To download the books, visit the Books for Free page. The novels The Plainsrunner, The Prime, Sunward and the Vin Stone series are available through the Books for Sale page.
