Or stay independent?<\/p>\n

That’s one of the dilemmas facing the characters in my novel, Walking On The Sea of Clouds<\/em>, forthcoming from WordFire Press<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If not for the Asteroid Consortium, there wouldn’t be a lunar colony for them to set up. But their dream is to be independent, and the AC causes them a lot of grief as they pursue it.<\/p>\n

I still don’t know when the novel will be released — it won’t be a “Spring” release after all, unfortunately (since Spring ends next week). But I noted a couple of weeks ago that it’s being fairly well received, as seen in what Booklist Online<\/em> had to say:<\/p>\n

Stay tuned, and I’ll let you know the release plans when I know them!<\/p>\n
