Here's the fourth and final of my Blade Runner essays, 'Tears in Perpetual Rain'. Writing these has been a journey not only into what the film means to me, but what my own life means to me right now. Thanks to everyone who has read these!

I was recently interviewed by my fellow author and good friend Scott Jessop for his Writing For a Living Blog. He asked questions about how I got started writing, what I consider my strengths and weaknesses, and how I maintain writing discipline. I really enjoyed this interview, as it felt more like a conversation, very laid back.

​I’m pleased to announce that I have signed a contract with Aethon Books for my space opera trilogy, REDSHIFT RUNNERS! The tentative titles are Parallax, Dying Suns, and Termination Vector. Parallax is complete, and I’ll be writing the next two installments this fall. I hope to see them released in Spring 2022 (ebook, paperback, and audio formats). I’ll be using a pseudonym, one that I will reveal soon. There’s lots of influences on these books, particularly THE EXPANSE series by James S.A. Corey, the EVE ONLINE video game franchise, a nod to Tom Wolfe’s THE RIGHT STUFF, and elements inspired by Frederik Pohl’s GATEWAY. Space pirates, rail guns, sex, drugs, and rock n’ roll—with more attention to scientific detail than I’ve written before. I can’t wait for readers to strap into the piloting pod and make the jump.
