My 20th Novel

I hope to release two new novels by year's end, including the 7th PIT book, "The Celaran Probe", and my 20th novel, "The Created". The drafts of these novels are completed and I'm in the editing phase, working with my editor Stephen "Shoe" Shoemaker.

I anticipate the PIT book will get more attention since it's deep into a series, but I hope some will check out my 20th book because I've tried very hard to make it a special one.

Several of the characters in "The Created" are smart machines called artificial agents who work for their creator (which has an interesting story of his own). The book offers glimpses into many lives but the central characters are easily distinguished and slowly introduced so it should not become confusing.

The novel is set on the core world called Idona in the PIT universe. Those of you familiar with my work should find the setting familiar but the novel is something different.

The book is longer than most of the PIT novels, from 75-80K words written in three parts.

Gordon Duke I look forward to checking out both.

The PIT universe would make a good RPG setting, but I'm happy to be discovering the setting as you reveal parts book by book, rather then me just devouring a setting book that lays out the cultures, factions, and such.

Ben Ratzlaff Sweet! Looking forward to both!
