I have officially started a Substack.
I have launched two projects on the platform:
- Worldbuilding Hacks & Headaches. A free fortnightly newsletter for authors on the topic of worldbuilding hacks. The newsletter looks at ways to minimise the pain and length of time it takes to build a world for a story.
- Aurora. This is a free fortnightly science-fiction space opera serial. I draw on its worldbuilding as an example for the Worldbuilding Hacks & Headaches newsletter.
These release on a staggered schedule so that there is a new issue or episode every week.There's also an optional and modest paid subscription option for those who wish to support me as an author.
Check out the provisional cover and blurb for Aurora below. The first season will be released as a novella later in the year.
AD 2175. Nearly a decade after the end of the War of Ascension and the Commonwealth’s retreat to Proxima Centauri, the system remains a fragile sanctuary for the remnant of their forces. The numerically superior Orion Ascendancy, still hurting from their disastrous Incursion of 2168, is wary of launching another assault, knowing that failure to secure Proxima’s critical tantruminium supply will again leave their fleet stranded—But that may all be about to change.
