The Crystal Labyrinth and Spacesteader One make the perfect Christmas gifts for that special teenage sci fi fan. 

Six special infants . . . With extraordinary abilities . . . Will they live up to the fable they were named after?  Find as as you venture through The Crystal Labyrinth !

Son of Man is a true thriller. It can also be categorized as suspense novel. Like Spacesteader One, which is a sci fi mystery novel, and The Crystal Labyrinth, which is a sci fi action/adventure novel with a fantasy feel, Son of Man is also a sci fi story.
I expect to have Son of Man available by March 2013. 

A sincere thank you to those of you who've read and commented on The Crystal Labyrinth. I understand it takes an "investment" of time to read the first third of this novel, but as you've all relayed to me in your emails, it is well worth the effort. It all pans out and ties in within the final few chapters.
Yes, I am planning a sequel.

On Sunderworld, castles and palaces are all built from a common local crystal called glasstones. Like most crystals, humans can see through these crystal-clear stones. The indigenous people of Sunderworld, however, cannot see through these stones. Their eyes have developed differently than ours have here on Earth. This gives earthlings a distinct advantage, perceived as a sort of x-ray vision when looking through these glass palace walls.

Sunderworld has less than half of Earth's gravitational pull. That means we not only way less than half of our Earthly weight on that planet, but we, and all objects, fall to the ground at less than half the acceleration that we're accustomed to here at home. Imagine pressing a barbell overhead weighing150-pounds on Earth. On Sunderworld, this same barbell weighs only 75 pounds. All native creatures, on the other hand, have developed their strength and speed in direct proportion to that planet's lower gravitational pull; to them, this same barbell feels like 150 pounds does to us.

The Crystal Labyrinth is available in all eBook formats for $3.99. Spacesteader One is also available at all eBook stores for $3.99, although Amazon offers Spacesteader one for the super-bargain price of $1.00.

The Crystal Labyrinth makes the perfect gift for the gifted child. It cleverly blends physics, chemistry, geology, gemology, animal evolution, and the complexities of enlightened, societal interactions into a novel that yields a rich fantasy feel. 

Son of Man, due out in March 2013, addresses the new reality of same sex marriage.

Have loads of fun while you learn some basic science. Read Spacesteader One and The Crystal Labyrinth. Both are available in all eBook formats and sold at all major booksellers.
