From Sunfall, which is available at last! This completes the Ethereal Cycle. It began as a pandemic project, a way to write down the stories my daughter and I told walking in the woods.

Now it's a finished trilogy. Wild.

Yes but I'll be signing up more beta readers at some point in the future, though not until I have a complete draft of the ms.

not sure i quite understand your question?

Paul Dixon @pauldixon.bsky.social · 23h

meant to say - some would argue space opera

Paul Dixon @pauldixon.bsky.social · 23h

Hard science fiction (though some would argue; sort of depends on your definition, but I prefer to think of it as the former)

Paul Dixon @pauldixon.bsky.social · 1d

Thank you! I'm working on it - 50K words into the first draft...

Hard science fiction and YA fantasy

First draft from a chapter of the Carpathians sequel I just finished.

If you read the original, this is Kester's fiancee, who seems destined for POV status here in book two...
