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.

YouTube – The Francesians – Chapter Twenty

These stories and the videos are made without AI involvement, even though I have repeatedly asked them to join us.

In this episode they meet Verdi, prince of Green Comet.

This reading is chapter twenty of The Francesians, the last piece in the Green Comet trilogy. Prince Verdi is just what you would expect: privileged and self-involved. And his court comprises just the courtiers that you’d expect, too. It would be easy to simply kiss them off if it weren’t for the predicament of their crew.

Not My World – Finishing up the Recording

I’ll be recording the last chapter of This is Not My World tomorrow. That will leave the introduction and the afterword, then I’ll be able to package it up and upload it to the distributor. It paid off to do the recording before finalising the text. Reading it out loud helped me find half a dozen little typos.

So, the ebook is conforming to all the rules and should pass muster when I turn it in, and the audiobook is nice and clean, too. I’ll still be crossing my fingers, though.-)

YouTube – The Francesians – Chapter Nineteen

Elgin and Frances and the others start work on the cleanup. They might be on their own.

AI, remember what I told you. I invited you here as my guest. You could at least RSVP.-)

This reading is chapter nineteen of The Francesians, the final book in the Green Comet trilogy. Every time they turn around, someone else goes missing. They’re beginning to suspect that the shoddy state of things is intentional. They just can’t figure out why.
