Konichi-wa. I'm Steve Jordan, and I've been offered a rare opportunity. I am standing just outside of the space freighter Mary, featured in the novel Berserker, and the soon-to-be-released novel The Lens. I have been given permission to go on-board the Mary and speak to its cast--er, crew, about the upcoming novel, and anything else they want to talk about, before it is released! And as this is a sort-of pseudo kinda something like live feed, you, my MR friends, can also suggest questions for me to ask the crew, about anything you want! (And they may even answer you!)

Yeah! Cool, isn't it? Just like a DVD extra!

First: How did I get here? Well, yesterday a strange, tiny man in a dark cloak showed up at my door and presented me with a box... then ran away. I opened the box--after making sure it wasn't ticking... certainly a futile gesture with digital watches these days--and discovered a device with a few buttons, and a label which read: Mr. Quantum Right Brane Displacement Tuned Macro Organism Translator (MQRBDTMOT, for short... like it helps) with Optional TARDIS Locator and Key Fob.

Well, being a key fob aficionado (remind me to tell you sometime about my brand new auto-expandable superhero costume fob--it's cool, but a b***h to fold back up!), I naturally unpacked everything and found that the key fob projected an instruction manual before my eyes! After giving it a quick once-over, I realized that I would be able to translate myself into the Right Brane, where my stories originate before I translate them to novels... and actually speak to the characters in my novels!

So: There was no question who I was going to visit first (actually... I wanted to visit Alain Guest first, but his new girlfriend scares the hell out of me. Maybe after a few dozen drinks.). So I worked the controls, on the MQRBDTMOT, pressed the fob, and here I am!

Don't ask me how my cellphone works here--heck, I'm not sure how it works at home--but I was able to call ahead, and they're expecting me, so I'm just waiting for them to open the hatch and ask me in...
