Finishing a trilogy

My third and final book in the Ship Saga started off easily enough. In fact, for about 85 percent of it, the book was the quickest I've ever written.

Part of that was because the trilogy (loosely) followed the structure of the original Star Wars trilogy, so I had a roadmap. Book one, The Ship, had a definitive ending, but still left room for more adventures. Book two, The Ship's Revenge, had patern Read more of this blog post »

“Humans have four motives for murder—passion, panic, prejudice, and greed.”
Doug Brode, SHELLI: The Android Detective

“You have no friends, and your longest sexual relationship lasted less than five months. Your psychological evaluation suggests a love/hate relationship with feminine companions—quick to fall in love and even quicker to dislike them if they do or say anything that triggers a negative response.” Shelli paused its typing, then nodded... If it makes this transition easier, you may call me your friend.”

“Physicists study the vast number of stars, examining equations and mathematical odds, and say there must be something else out there like us. Biologists look down at our own planet, at all the specific things that occurred
for evolution to work, and say, ‘not likely.’ It’s not a math equation, but if it were, the sheer odds of other sentient life even remotely like us are incalculable—even in the vastness of outer space.”
Doug Brode, The Ship
