I've been commissioned to write a space opera novel set in the Dark Expanse. This is a online RPG stategy tie in novel.
Some of you might remember that I've published several short stories in the Dark Expanse (read for free). Some of which appear in the Dark Expanse: Surviving the Collapse anthology, buy from Amazon UK or Amazon US.
I'd like to share the developing blurb with you:
As Good as Bad Can Get
Klyve Ganthe is a Kyoti, a race of tricksters and con artists. He's got he's good qualities, but he's a nobody. He can't even manage to bribe his way off planet. So why would the Corona Corporation leave him in charge of the planet Nimbas? Armed with his wits, his old pal Quizl the Kanzai to advise him, and a nagging mother-in-law, Klyve must struggle to bring together the disgruntled factions to keep Nimbas from being overrun by the Logorasch swarm.
A Planet on the Edge of Chaos. Can Klyve make Nimbas As Good as Bad Can Get?
Sounds good -- and it's got to be nice to know you're "commissioned". No queries necessary. Looking forward to reading this one.
ReplyDeleteYes! I've sidestepped that whole querying thing. Lucky me!
DeleteSounds like much fun. Logorasch? Chitters perchance?
ReplyDeleteNot Chitters. They're one of the non-aligned races. They figure in the game, when they undergo swarming events. They're isolationists, but their biology leads to intermittent swarming events, when they go on the locust-like rampages. Much fun to write.
DeleteThat is awesome. How is the novel-length challenge sitting with you?
