Ten years, three books, half a dozen short stories, three states of residence, and one pandemic after writing the first line of Phaethon, the trilogy is complete.

I really feel like I’m supposed to say something, but all that comes to mind is “phew.”

The Phaethon books have been a lot of fun. I got to write characters that I loved and invent critters for them to deal with. Jack and Rosie let me divide my brain into parts. Zelda let me let her go wild. Cal gave me plenty of excuses to hate him, and it turned out I couldn’t. It’s been a ride. Thank you for coming on it with me.

When I first started these books, I was just realizing that I was seriously ill and I didn’t know what was happening. Now I have all my diagnoses and treatments and limits properly sorted, if not under control. My life looks very different. I am happy to be where I am, and happy to set these books down where they are.

If you haven’t started the trilogy yet, now is the time; you can get all three e-books for cheap. Many of the short stories are free in my Ko-Fi shop. And please don’t forget to review them on whatever platform you use the most. (Wink wink, nod nod, author job done.)

I’ll see you all at the next milestone.
