Free Novel - Green Comet
"BRAVO! You have done the rational thing -- you're getting your book out here! WE CAN READ IT!"
Here's some free reading to brighten your day.-) As Elgin wakes from a centuries-long sleep, it’s to the memory of danger and loss. Even in the confusion of re-animation, he wonders if this time she’ll be there. But then he remembers the mysterious Visitor and the perilous mission that took Frances from him, and darkness closes in again. Even so, there’s always the hope that this time will be different, that they will have found a way. It was always like this. Hope would always rise again, no matter how often it was struck down. Green Comet is an expansive story of love and adventure among the synesthetic inhabitants of a comet. It's a novel released under a Creative Commons attribution and share alike license (CC-BY-SA.) It is available in ePub, PDF and ODT, and as a reading recorded in OGG Vorbis format. All versions can be downloaded free from the Green Comet website. I hope you enjoy it.

Green Comet is an expansive story of love and adventure on an inhabited comet. Here's an example of what people are saying about Green Comet: "I liked the feeling of being in a 'classic' sci-fi novel that was character-driven, and not all 'plot.'"

"It's begging to be made into sequels along the lines of Asimov's Foundation and Arthur C. Clarke's Rama."

"This is an excellent read!"
"I enjoyed it very much, and appreciate your making this available."
Once you've read the novel, be sure to check out the extensions. They extend the Green Comet story beyond the end of the novel. Be warned that the extensions will spoil part of the suspense of the novel, so I advise reading them only after you've read the book. But if that doesn't bother you and you only want to get the flavor of my writing style, then start with one of the three (soon four) extensions. Green Comet.
