I finally got round to finishing the final edits of Broken Glass, the final novel in the Minding Tomorrow trilogy. <\/p>\n
You can read it here<\/a>, though it’s worth reading Minding Tomorrow<\/a> and Combat<\/a> first, or else it will make no sense. All my fiction is released for free under creative commons, so download the ebooks and enjoy!<\/p>\n I’ve no idea why I always put off completing a project like this, but it had been sitting almost-finished since April. All I had to do was make a book cover and do a few rounds of editing, and it would be ready. In total these last steps only took about 10 hours.<\/p>\n So I’ve been 10 hours of easy work away from completing a three novel series of stories that I first attempted writing back in 2003. I started writing the current version of Minding Tomorrow in November of 2008, so the three novels could be said to have taken four years to complete. I planned to get Broken Glass finished in the spring of 2012, but I wrote “Get That Rat Off My Face!” instead, which admittedly takes place in the same universe as Minding Tomorrow. In a way, it could be read as a four book series.<\/p>\n What I’m trying to ask is “Why would anyone not want to have finished a trilogy of novels, especially if it only requires a tiny bit more work?” Well, I’m not sure. I know I’ve been busy with other projects… but not THAT busy!<\/p>\n Personally I think Broken Glass is the best science fiction I’ve written. Unfortunately you have to read two other novels before it, just to set the groundwork and introduce all the characters, and logically those two novels can’t also be the best I’ve written.<\/p>\n All said and done, it’s been a fun journey.<\/p>\n And it’s not over. I’m currently writing another novel set in the same universe, but hundreds of years after the events of Broken Glass. So long, in fact, that it works as a stand alone story, though those who’ve read the Minding Tomorrow trilogy will enjoy it on an extra level.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I finally got round to finishing the final edits of Broken Glass, the final novel in the Minding Tomorrow trilogy.
