As I write this, midwinter is approaching here in Japan. Through our window I can see the nearby mountains, still adorned in the autumnal reds of Japanese maple trees, the lighter greens of bamboo groves and the darker greens of evergreen spruce trees. When the late afternoon hits them, their rich colors contrast in breathtaking ways, inspiring me to write about what alien life might be like on some of the many worlds that circle distant stars.
My first science fiction novel is almost ready to be published as an ebook on Amazon. I have revised its many chapters more times than I care to remember, and now my wife is giving it a final read-through and suggesting minor changes. I have also written a first draft of its sequel, which I hope to publish within a few more months. In the meantime, welcome to my blog. This is where I will share my thoughts and make announcements about my books.
