Quick Follow Up

It's been a while since I last posted. I've been busy (with a couple of months off for pneumonia).

I finished writing both Tunnel at the End of the Dark and Rogue Knight.

Tunnel at the End of the Dark is a sequel to The Princess, the Knight, & the Knave. Both are available on Amazon. Simply click on the links. I hope to start the last of the trilogy soon. The tentative title is A Stark and Dormi Knight.

Rogue Knight has been renamed to Marked by Thor, a Rogue Knight Adventure. Marked by Thor is the first novel in a planned Rogue Knight trilogy. It is available on Amazon. Again follow the link.

My latest project for 2014/2015 was The Prometheus Proposal. I've been through a couple of drafts, and I'm shopping it around right now. If I don't get any acceptable offers, I will publish it on Amazon, perhaps this summer. The tag line for The Prometheus Proposal is

"We don't have the technology to take ourselves to the stars, and so instead, we send the dead and the unborn."

Fable for a Political Year

Once there lived a silly goose named, Grover. Grover Goose had not felt well for a while, perhaps a simple malaise rather than a serious illness, perhaps something chronic and more serious. So Grover convinced himself that he was terminal. He consulted with his friend Harry Horse. "I just don't feel well," Grover said. "I have no energy. Everything irritates me. I'm mad all the time. I've alienated most of my friends. You're the only one left who still talks to me." "You should get a check up." Harry flicked his ear and tilted his head. "Better yet, a complete physical. Perhaps even see a specialist." "Healthcare makes me too angry." "Calm down, Grover. Everything makes you too angry. Maybe healthcare just makes you afraid, and that makes you angry." "Okay." Grover gave Harry the eye. Was his old friend conspiring against him too? "Maybe. Do you know a good doctor?" "I have ...

Update

I've been writing longer stories recently--a novel ( The Prometheus Proposal ) and several novellas (17,500-40,000 words) and novelettes (7,500-17,500 words). There aren't many markets for fiction longer than a short story (1000-7,500 words) and shorter than a novel (40,000+ words). Although short novels are popular in some genres, most adult science fiction and fantasy novels are more than 100,000 words. Some epics are twice that length. Some of my publications are listed on my Amazon Author's page . All my publications including textbooks are listed on my Website RonaldDFerguson.com . So far the only novella I've published is  The Last Starship from 51 Pegassi D .  A list of my short fiction publications since I started writing short stories follows. Those with asterisks are novelettes: His Brother was an Only Child (Copyright 2011)( Daily Science Fiction Stories - June 2011 ) (Also at 2013 Campbellian Pre-Reading Anthology ) Wake Up and Smell the Moonflowe...
