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.

YouTube – The Francesians – Chapter Nine

Elgin and Fran find significant differences during their tour of the site.

This reading is chapter nine of The Fancesians, the final book in the Green Comet trilogy. The people living and working at this laser facility don’t seem to have the high level of care that they are used to. Things look worn and neglected. Worse, they find signs of the privatization of their communal property. The ideals of the comet people seem to be deteriorating as much as the infrastructure.
