Design Concept : When the Sky Fell

When the Sky Fell details a scientific theory about Earth crust displacement first put forth by Charles Hapgood, and expanded on by Rand & Rose Flem-Ath. Albert Einstein supported Hapgood’s work. The theory also dovetails with Plato’s description of the end of Atlantis, and the many flood myths in ancient literature. When the Sky Fell was first published in the 1990s, and I was at one point working on the updated version to be published as an ebook.

Design Concept : The Forbidden Manuscript

This is an interesting novel that would appeal to fans of The Da Vinci Code. As the title suggests, events are linked to a manuscript that reveals secrets long kept which certain people don’t want exposed. Murder, suspense and thrills make this a compelling read.

Design Concept : The Exploration of Space
by Arthur C. Clarke

A few years ago, I approached a publisher of space books with the idea of producing a series of volumes that would reprint the most important texts of the space age.

Evening, Scott,

I found your book
Return to Barsoom through Jeff Doten's Barsoomia website on Thursday but didn't have a quiet time to sit down and read until last night. I was going to read a few pages to get the gist of it and three hours later… Read More...

Fan Forums on the Net

We looked into joining science fiction message forums on the web as a way to getting the word out about the release of the book. Unfortunately, all of them have policies against self promotion, or joining merely to announce your stuff, whatever that may be. On one hand, we can see why that policy needs to be in place. Without it, forums would degenerate into what usenet newsgroups have become: full of spam and off-topic posts. And that would be annoying when legitimate readers and posters are there to enjoy focussed discussion on their fandom interests. Read More...

Paul at the Marooned blog was kind enough to give Return to Barsoom a plug. He focuses on science fiction, fantasy and horror books on Mars, as well as NASA missions to the planet.

Bill & Sue-On Hillman

Bill & Sue-On Hillman are heavy hitters in the online world of Edgar Rice Burroughs. ERBzine.com is only one of their many sites dedicated to ERB and his work. Well worth the look. Dig deep enough there and you can find the early version of Return to Barsoom.
