New Fiction Novel In The Works!!!

I've begun another project (I know, what the hell am I thinking); a fictional story, not related to sci-fi in any way. Its set in another country and another time (I'm not giving anything away just yet). I will say however that I was hounded to write the story by a couple of co-workers. Its an interesting project and I'm going to have fun writing the story.

I will add that this is a love story about a love that can not continue. Its a drastic departure from science fiction and that's why I'm looking forward to writing it.

I'm in the outline / research phase right now and do not have a complete time line for completion just yet. I do have three projects on the go but hey, I love to write so this not only keeps my mind engaged, but keeps me off the streets.

X-Minus One - A 1950's Classic

I've always enjoyed listening to old time radio dramas. Mystery, Drama and of course Science Fiction from the 1930's through to the 1950's are full of hope, excitement and adventure.

The writers, always under the watchful eye of the network censors, wrote incredible radio shows that excited and inspired listeners around North America every day.

I was listening to an episode of X-Minus One lately and was inspired to write a short story based on this episode. Of course I can't say which episode as yet, but it'll be a good one. I'm really excited by the project and look forward to posting the finished short soon.
