Hi, there, I’ve managed to squeeze out a bunch of posts over the last week, as I am frantically trying to get as many projects to near finish before the arrival of my first kid in April (when I anticipate I will be mostly useless for the three months or so after that.)
I’ve already pushed my history of early Italian colonization in East Africa out to the Kindle store: The Reluctant Imperialist. If you’re interested in late 19th Century history, check it out at $2.99 for the download. It is also available on the UK Kindle Store.
Next out the gate to Kindle should be my novel Cawnpore, set in the India Mutiny in 1857, it follows an Anglo-Irish soldier, Col. Richard Fortune, who has been assigned to gather intelligence and win over the local potentates who are upset about a new policy that would strip those without progeny of their holdings (it was called “lapse”.) When the troops rebel, Fortune must try to survive the attack on the garrison at Cawnpore, and find his lost lover.
Also coming by the end of the summer (I hope) is my retelling of the Perseus myth — cunningly called Perseus. If this one does well, I will be doing a series of novels bring the heroes of Greek myth to life.
Lastly, there is some movement on an espionage RPG system inspired by an older, well-liked game system. It will be heavily updated and redesigned, but should keep many of the features that made the older system so much fun. Right now, the goal is to have it finished by the end of the year, and at current, I plan on a POD and PDF version.
All of this while working on my dissertation, which I also plan to publish, on the how science fiction inspired the technology and culture of 20th Century America.
It’s a lot to juggle, so I’m expecting some lag on the projects.
