Dorian sat in stunned silence. Raville watched them, a superluminal construct with the shadowy giant Kedesma orbiting his impossible star. Finally, Dorian looked to Amara, and she stared back at him, her eyes large and dark in the wavering light. She had stars in her dark [...]

The virtual self-replication of the digitized data that comprised Michael Raville smiled warmly at them and indicated with a sweep of his arm that they should come sit with him on one of the couches near the fire. He was of average height, dark haired, just as his [...]

The astute among you might have noticed that I didn’t get Chapter 5 of Agnosis posted until Tuesday morning, thus missing my Monday Guarantee(tm). It was a holiday. What can I say?
The even more astute among you may have noticed that I’ve slowed down tremendously on my blog posting as of late. [...]

So I spent yesterday up to my eyeballs in the guts of Agnosis. Why would I do this, you ask? Well, it turns out that I queried/partialed a certain major SFF publisher about this novel almost a full year ago — an act which I had largely forgotten because, well, it was almost [...]
