Raygun Chronicles

No surprise: I'm a big fan of space opera.

I grew up watching Star Wars, Buck Rogers, Battlestar Galactica, and Star Trek. Firefly was the best, cancelled before its time, and Serenity is one of my all-time favorite movies. I enjoy the action, the swashbuckling adventure, and the quick-witted characters. The genre doesn't take itself too seriously, and neither do I as a writer.

Captain Bartholomew Quasar is my own space opera hero, but unlike Han Solo, Buck, or Kirk, things hardly ever go his way. He thinks a lot of himself, though, and he knows there will be a statue made of him someday. Somewhere.

The new space opera anthology Raygun Chronicles includes my award-winning tale "Captain Quasar and the Insurmountable Barrier of Space Junk" along with a couple dozen stories by much better-known authors in the genre. Kirkus Reviews lists it as one of this month's best bets in Science Fiction, and while Publishers Weekly posted a less favorable review, they did mention me and my story. So hey, that's a first!
   
Quasar and I are truly honored to appear in this stellar collection, and we hope it sells millions of copies. My novel Captain Bartholomew Quasar and the Space-Time Displacement Conundrum is scheduled to be released by the same publisher next year, so the timing couldn't be better. Hopefully Raygun Chronicles will leave readers wanting a whole lot more space opera adventure from the likes of Captain Quasar and his very hairy sidekick, Hank.

Until next time, may your magnitude be effervescent. Or something like that.
