Greetings festive readers. The sun returns! Yeay! Apparently our sacrifices and prayers worked and the sun rises in the sky. Spring and then summer will come. The cycle continues.
For me the coming year will be a big one. I am completing the work of my life. With the release of “The Mother of the Galaxy” this summer I will be concluding a project that begun forty years ago.
I can picture the exact moment this all started. I was in a barracks room on Torrejon Airbase near Madrid in Spain. I had an idea for a story. What if aliens showed up and told us we were actually aliens ourselves from the home world of the arriving aliens. I put pencil to paper and wrote, over the next few weeks, about ten thousand words, the beginning of the story.
Over the next several years I carried this short stack of spiral notebooks with the story, notes, maps and outlines. All the time thinking that someday I’d finish the thing.
Here I am, forty years later about to do that exact thing. I’m a deep thinker, but certainly not a quick thinker.
Over the next few days I’ll be telling the tale of how this saga came to be real paper and ink. How did I become insane enough to believe that I could write a series of novels? Further I will explain why that is indeed such an insane notion.
“Kusha” is coming soon.
