voyage of the Interstellar Fleet, be assured that you will find out. I&#8217;m currently revising everything I&#8217;ve written so far, and when that&#8217;s done, I&#8217;ll write the remaining part of the story.</p><p>However, I have a strong feeling that <em><a href="iframe.php?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbuy.bookfunnel.com%2F5l3v0nzqca">Augur&#8217;s Eye</a></em> will be my penultimate book. My final book and the last book in the series, <em>Leap Gate</em> will be published in 2027. Then I will dictate the final ship&#8217;s log to the computer before disembarking the starship.</p><p>There are many reasons for deciding to bring an end to my career as a science fiction author, but I will wait until the time comes to list and explain them. </p><p>I&#8217;ve enjoyed my job immensely, most particularly the relationships with all the readers who have kindly given me their support over the years, and I feel enormously privileged to have made a full-time living doing something I love.</p><p>In the meantime, in case you haven&#8217;t seen it, here&#8217;s the description for

Fleet</strong></p><p>Within the mysterious Red Zone, a strange vessel is trailing the Interstellar Fleet.</p><p>The flagship&#8217;s skein mapper, Ignatius Robins, must use his predictive powers to deal with the threat.</p><p>But a dark secret burdens him, sapping the old man&#8217;s remaining strength and jeopardizing his relationship with his only helper.</p><p>As Ignatius tries to overcome his difficulties, the menace looming over the Fleet&#8217;s ships and their crews escalates, and his fight becomes a matter of life and death.</p><p><em><a

Design</span></strong></p><p><span>The floating colony of Twilight was meant to be humanity&#8217;s future&#8212;engineered, orderly, and invincible. But its designers built a genetic monoculture destined to fail. Hana Morgenstern and John Miller fled before the collapse, seeking refuge among the North Polars, a breakaway society as devout as it is durable.</span></p><p><span>But even on the frozen side of Dawkins, danger lurks. Hana&#8217;s discovery of time gates offers both salvation and ruin. These portals can reconnect lost human colonies&#8230;or unleash extinction from across the stars.</span></p><p><span>As a deadly storm brews and old enemies close in, Hana, John, and their adopted wolf Haiiro must choose: die where they stand&#8212;or leap, once again, into the unknown.</span></p><p><span>They will wind up where no man has gone before.<br><br></span><strong><span>They will not be welcomed.</span></strong></p><p><em><span>This is not a standalone novel.

but in the UK he was a well-known and well-loved disc jockey. His other claim to fame was miming playing the mandolin on Rod Stewart&#8217;s <em>Maggie May</em> performance on Top of the Pops in the seventies (sadly, he wasn&#8217;t the recording artist).</p><p>John Peel had excellent taste in music and popularised Queen&#8217;s <em>Bohemian Rhapsody</em> when other DJs refused to play it due to the song&#8217;s length.</p><p>The Beach Reads event was very quiet, though I think I made a few new shipmates. On the plus side, the background music was amazing.</p><h2>PROMOTIONS</h2><p>Maybe you&#8217;re a Space Colony One veteran, in which case you&#8217;ll be in need of some new summer (or winter) <a

Often, authors only decided to publish their own books after they&#8217;d tried the traditional route but hadn&#8217;t secured a deal.</p><p>That route was never for me. The truth is, traditional publishing usually doesn&#8217;t pay well. Trad-published authors rarely earn a full-time living, and I wanted to write full-time.</p><p>Also, I knew myself well enough to know I was far too controlling (about my creativity) to allow someone else to decide what edits my books needed, what covers they should have or how they should be marketed. </p><p>It took time and I made lots of mistakes, but eventually I found reliable professionals to help me and learned the ropes of marketing.</p><p>So I&#8217;ve been going it alone all this while, and authorship has served me well.</p><p>Except I haven&#8217;t quite been alone. As well as professional editors and cover artists, and the loyalty and generosity of shipmates like yourself, I&#8217;ve also benefitted from the support and friendship of other indie authors. </p><p>I simply couldn&#8217;t have made it this far without you and others.</p><p>So thank you!</p><p>Many of those authors have contributed their books to this <a href="iframe.php?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cgockelwrites.com%2Fsci-fi-visionary-giveaway-june-2026%2F">free giveaway</a>. </p><p>It will cost you nothing to check them out, and you might find some new

that were free of palm oil.</p><p>Palm oil production is a blight on the environment and I wanted to do my small bit to help.</p><p>But did you know that palm oil is an ingredient in nearly all commercial cakes, biscuits etc?</p><p>I soon discovered that fact and, consequently, I decided to bake my own.</p><p>Since then, I&#8217;ve mostly kept to my resolution and enjoyed many tasty sweet snacks along the way (as well as a few disasters).</p><p>Above is my latest somewhat lazy creation: malt loaf made in a breadmaker.</p><p>It&#8217;s pretty nice toasted with butter, though I say so myself.</p><p>Are you a baker? What&#8217;s your favourite sweet indulgence? I&#8217;d love to know!

Arthurian legends, which provided the inspiration for one of my most successful series, <a href="iframe.php?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbooks2read.com%2Fu%2F3LVkvN">Star Legend</a>.</p><p>At first look, you might not think that science fiction and King Arthur, Morgan le Fay (no, not Morgana - don&#8217;t get me started!) and accompanying cast of characters would work as a story.</p><p>After reading books 1 - 3, you might hold to your opinion.</p><p>Regardless, I invite you to find out by taking advantage of the discounted boxset that tells the first part of the story of Taylan Ellis, guilt-ridden mother on a search for her lost children, and long-suffering Major Wright, her CO when she joins the space fleet arm of the Royal Marines.</p><p><a href="iframe.php?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbooks2read.com%2Fu%2F3LVkvN">Star Legend Books 1 - 3</a> is discounted for a short time only at most bookstores and the <a href="iframe.php?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpayhip.com%2Fb%2FBRdHt">ship&#8217;s store</a>, and you can read bonus stories that take place after the main story in <a

have guessed that a hand-knitted jumper would be so popular.</p><p>Which goes to show that I clearly understand nothing at all about marketing, especially as I have no idea how to turn this unexpected success into book sales, lol.</p><p>In the spirit of continued sharing of my knitting projects, here&#8217;s my recently finished Shona Top by Irene Lin, created from linen/cotton yarn I bought on our trip to Ghent. </p><p>Now I just need some warm weather so I can wear it.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

Space travel doesn&#8217;t figure much in the story&#8212;the protagonist of the series, Jas Harrington&#8217;s, character-forming traumatic experience  in Antarctica while training to be a starship security officer&#8212;so I felt it was a little misleading.</p><p>But I&#8217;m not sure the new <em><a href="iframe.php?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdl.bookfunnel.com%2Fmyw090xxaw">Starbound</a> </em>cover is appealing. What do you think? What impression does it give you?</p><p>Please let me know in the comments (scroll down to the Comment button at the very bottom).</p><h2>SHIP&#8217;S LOG</h2><p>One benefit of returning to the UK after eight years in Taiwan has been the greater proximity to Europe.</p><p>For example, Ghent, Belgium, is only a little more than 4 hours&#8217; drive from Cambridge, as we discovered last week.</p><p>Of course, when you factor in the Eurotunnel crossing, the journey itself takes longer, but it&#8217;s still surprisingly short considering you have to pass through France too.</p><div
