I’m just getting started so the honest answer is, “To be determined.” The intended answer is…

Children’s Stories - I have several children’s books in the works.

Grownup’s Stories - I have published several stories on Amazon.com and I’m working on more.

Online Stories - I hope to add online stories, too.

Please see the “Grownup’s” and “Children’s” pages for stories as they become available. Sign up on the Contact page to get an occasional newsletter, when I have news. Thank you!

In many computer simulation games, there is a "tech tree" for development of technologies over time. For instance, finding foreigners leads to discovering the advantages of both trade-roads and defensive-structures. From practice with such things, basics of engineering can be learned, and from that comes the discovery of how to build reliable bridges, over large rivers.

A "science fiction tech tree" is the same thing, extended into the future. Today we are learning about how ball-lighting might be a tangled, magnetic field that contains plasma. What if lessons from ball-lighting are the key discovery to containing fusion-plasma? Like the revolution caused by going from steam trains to diesel trucks, there might be a revolution from changing chemical rockets into fusion rockets, and so forth.

My Science Fiction Tree stories are based on the idea of far-future technologies developing from near-future ones. Maybe genetic engineering will prove to be the cure for cancer, and then everyone hurt by cancer will outweigh everyone afraid of the new technology. Once genetic tech is proven, perhaps we won't terra-form Mars to suit us, but instead, "mars-form" people to suit Mars. How will such a far-future tech affect our far-far-future approach to colonizing a new star system?

I try to make my stories connected. So a story about a far-future might inspire me to tell a near-future story about how that far-future tech was discovered. Or, vice versa. This is different from sequel stories, where you have to buy 3 (or 30) to find out what happens to the hero. Each of my stories (generally) is complete in itself. Maybe someday I'll write a sequel, or maybe not, but the story will be complete without having to buy later volumes. And yet, the stories are connected with a thread of technology change.

That's what I mean by a "Science Fiction Tree" story.

Once upon a time, stories of Lancelot betraying King Arthur were shocking just to say he romantically loved Guinevere, and nothing happened between them. Authors today wirte versions too disgusting to report here. I’m different because I write science fiction stories, today, about the future, with values of the past. I endovor to write more like Pride and Predjudice.

I sell books. On Amazon.com (so far) and in person at Ozark area events (mostly in southern Missouri of the United States). Price per story depends mostly on printing costs, profits to others, and an attempt to make a profit for myself.
