The Author's Responsibility To Readers

When a reader parts with their hard earned money to buy one of my books, I feel this is an act of trust. The reader, in essence, is handing me their mind for the duration of the read, trusting me to put something in it worth the money they spent. I respect this. My job is to manipulate the reader's imagination to take their mind to unexpected, scary, funny, beautiful and bizarre places.

I write stories that organically evolve out of the character's moral choices and  the odd circumstances they find themselves in. I want to put fun with depth inside your mind, something you can get only from reading as opposed to all other forms of media. If you love the unique, try the book selection from Beam's Doorway.

End of Space - Science Fiction Technologies Inspire New Novella

The novella, End of Space , that received a 4 out of 5 star review on Amazon, is giving birth to a new novella based on the space travelling technology first introduced in that Kindle eBook.


In End of Space, Fringe Traveler Inc owner Garrett discovered a way to travel to the end of space by merely standing still, cancelling all rotational movement on micro and macro levels, using the entire universe as a storage capacitor for the energy drained from the vehicle. This works. The cosmic traveler leaves space behind and enters an unimaginable area where perfection and absolutes exist in the eternal now. The problem is, this area is not meant for three dimensional mortals.

This idea of space travel  is giving birth to a new novella that takes place hundreds of years in the future after Garrett made his amazing discovery. In this new age, fringe travel has been made practical, it can be modulated and controlled. The Universe has been completely explored and mapped because traveling from galaxy to galaxy is as easy as stepping into the next room. But, now a new problem emerges...

Read End of Space and get prepared for more mind bending adventure and reality twisting fun in the upcoming novel based on the new fringe technology.

End of Space

End of Space receives a 4 star review!
Here is the review from Amazon:

This review is from: End of Space (Kindle Edition)
End of Space is a short story about a factory owner on the verge of bankruptcy. With nothing to lose, the owner, Garret, enlists an employee, Ray, to help build a vehicle that can travel to the end of space.

The novella reminds me of the movie Contact, where the goal is a historic scientific achievement to be attained after a long, and arduous journey. Likewise, End of Space takes a long build up for the journey, but it is well worth the wait.

The author spends a good deal of time and energy describing what the end of space would look and feel like. it is a metaphysical realm of knowledge, wonder, and perfection. To me, the end of space is a different dimension than the one we occupy in.

Alas, with the end of space explored, the story quickly wraps up in an unexpected twist, but ultimately a logical ending.
