After thirty years of 'occupation' the citizens of the small Martian colony have declared independence. It's a time for a new beginning - but powerful forces back on Earth want the planet back and the ballance of power is shifting... This is the story of ordinary people caught up in a conflict which will decide the future of the entire solar system. History is being written around them and each one will be called upon to play their part.

June 4th

I haven't posted much on my writing blog page recently, largely beacause I've been concentrating on writing chapters(!) I've managed to do slightly better than one chapter a week, so the book has npw reached 40,000 words over eight chapters. I've started on chapter nine which will focus on Maria Babin and the politics of Free Mars. I've got a plan to take me through to chapter 11 and then I'll need to review things before I push on to the end...

Red Spring has done OK, having passed 400 reads, but my main hope here is just to get it finished, because it would be nice to say - I did that!

In the meantime, I've finished off a short story, the Ouroboros Incident, and pit up an opening chapter for the Pirate Maze, which i wrote last year, and done some more work on my non-fiction project...

The PIrate Maze did surprisingly well, staying in the forties and fifties, before disappearing off the chart. It may be worth expanding this project since it clearly has some attraction...

I'm quite pleased with my first full month of Wattpadding and am looking forward to doing more...
