What I’m Reading

Cartwright’s Cavaliers

This has a lot of fun boxes checked off the list. The down and out comeback story, the imperfect hero, betrayal most foul …

Not done yet, but halfway through and the worst I can say is that I keep checking how much is left and thinking… “Really? I’m half through already? Wow.”

The Knighthood

cjw — Fri, 10 Mar 2017 16:17:29 +0000

Well this was actually pretty unexpected, and you guys are awesome for making it happen. I did not expect Knighthood to be a bestseller by any stretch. Similar to Odyssey One, this book was supposed to be a bit of a niche novel to tide over my core readers while I worked on other things. Once again, you people show me that I should stick to writing and not trying to predict what you like. lol

The Knighthood is a hit, and now I have to work on a sequel … wait, am I grateful for that? Ok, I’m conflicted now.

Extra work aside, I can’t thank you guys enough. Really.

And if you haven’t checked it out yet, go take a look: I think it’s worth your time.

The Knighthood

cjw — Fri, 03 Mar 2017 21:22:51 +0000

My new novel, The Knighthood has launched on Amazon. Take a dash of old mythology, a generous heaping of apocalyptic atmosphere, and a refusal to go quietly into the night and you have Elanthielle’s origin story. The world was at war. Humanity lost.

Time for a rematch.

Knighthood.

Gravity Waves and Their Impact … on Me

cjw — Tue, 01 Mar 2016 22:15:10 +0000

A review brought up an interesting criticism of this series, and probably Odyssey One now that I think about it.

Recent scientific developments have managed to measure the propagation rate of gravity waves… and, surprising no one really, they travel at lightspeed. This is an issue in my books, and others I know of, because bring written before this bit of information became quantified, gravity waves clearly travel faster than that in this universe.

While a pain, that’s the risk of writing a science fiction novel with truly speculative THEORIES rather than merely speculative technology. If you get specific about anything, there’s a better than average chance that you’re going to be proven wrong at some point.

I wonder, though, does this… as the critique said, somehow magically change the nature of the theoretical discussion to ‘technobabble’? Or was it always technobabble and merely floated there, unrecognized?

Or is there a third option? Does a disproved theory, or hypothesis in this case, still have respectability despite it’s new status, at least as long as the thinker(s) behind it are willing to admit to the new facts?

There is a lot of be learned from ideas that we know are wrong, so long as we acknowledge that they’re wrong in the process.

Of course, that’s academic and this is fiction… Though the speed of gravity propagation is a relatively small part of this universe’s canon, and not generally vital to any plots, I doubt I’ll retcon it out of existence. I do try to stay within real scientific theories for the most part, but the gravity detection speed was always more of a nod to Weber than anything important to the plot.

Actually, finally finding evidence of gravity waves existing helps the novel’s plot far more than it hurts. It actually means that at least SOME parts of their gravity jump drive mechanism have been confirmed as ‘not entirely batshit’.

Cheers everyone.

De Oppresso Liber

cjw — Fri, 26 Feb 2016 22:25:38 +0000

Sorilla Aida is BACK in book 6 of the Silver Wings series, De Oppresso Liber

The war may be over, but the fighting continues as SOLCOM learns of an excursion by the Ross’El against an unaffiliated pre-space civilization in the no man’s land between Earth and the Alien Alliance. With always more questions than answers, SOLCOM dispatches a ship to quietly survey the situation and determine what, if any, course of action is best.

Captain Sorilla Aida and her team are the ground element assigned to the task, with the clear understanding that no matter what… they are to remain undetected by the alien overlords now controlling the moon world. Sorilla knows only one thing for certain as she learns more about the situation:

Oppression is universal, Freedom is never free… and this is EXACTLY what she trained for.
