Damn, another book I’ll have to download into my Kobo. I’m looking forward to it as I just finished the latest Expanse novel and need more time in Space… 🙂 ---

Just in case anyone’s interested, I’m starting work on a sequel to Spindown. I had been working on a few other ideas for the last year, but I couldn’t get deep into any of them, and especially because this turned out to be (by far!) the most successful of any of my books, I figured I’d give a sequel a try. My first sequel! And if it works, this may become a detective series (Poirot in space, perhaps?). ---

Looking forward to it! I only wish it was ready now–wintertime is really when I devour books! ---

Sort of a hijack but I grabbed a copy of _The Pen is Mightier_ for Kindle off Amazon. This was more of a fantasy story. I really enjoyed it. Andy is a great writer, I’m a legit fan now. ---

Andy is a great writer, I’m a legit fan now. Wow, thank so much! And it’s certainly not a hijack! 🙂 I had high hopes that that one would find an audience among fans of Game of Thrones (and the books), but I never figured out a way to successfully get the word out. ---

I’m a _Song of Ice and Fire_ fan (read all the books so far, only saw season 1 of the show) and I got a lot of references in there. I chuckled more than once. But even setting aside the parallels to Mr. Martin and his works, it was a good story. It reminded me of a Piers Anthony kind of novel (in the vein of Xanth or Apprentice Adept) but not as cheesy. ---
