Thou Doth Quote Too Much

Believe it or not, the first draft of Dark Matters (Book 1) didn’t include famous quotes at the start of each chapter. But I’ve always enjoyed the well-placed aphorism, and thought that subtly relevant quotes to begin each chapter would be a great addition to the story. So during the editing phase, I spent a […]

Forget the 1%. It just takes one.

FORGET THE 1%. IT JUST TAKES ONE. In the aftermath of the 2016 Presidential election cycle, the topic of increased income inequality and the wealthiest 1% has moved front-and-center. But is the wealth of the millions in the top 1% really the issue? Consider:The world’s 1800 billionaires–the top 0.0002%–are growing their wealth much faster than the richest 1%. And in […]

From dark matter to Dark Matters

Hello all! I recently wrote an article for the Sword and Laser Sci-Fi web site and podcast, discussing how a story about dark matter eventually evolved to one set in a not-too-distant future of income inequality gone amok. From dark matter to Dark Matters, so to speak. Link below: Read the Sword and Laser Article […]

Quote from James Rollins

I’m thrilled to say that a run-in with NY Times bestselling author James Rollins (of the Sigma Series fame) turned into an offer from him to read my book! Even more amazing, barely a week later he sent me back an email: Hey Michael, I finished your novel last night.  Great read!  Lots of cool […]

Wiped from Existence

As I search for an agent to represent the book, I am also continuing to edit the completed Dark Matters manuscript. (And begin the work on Book Two in the series, by the way…). My latest edit cause the elimination of a supporting character – Collin, one of the employees at the physics lab where […]

Book Done, Search Has Begun

Sorry for the dearth of recent posts… the good news, the manuscript for Dark Matters: The Chosen is complete at 91,000 words and 40 chapters. I’m very happy with the first draft. Or more accurately, the 128th draft – a few revisions were done over the summer. 🙂 Over the past few months, I’ve given […]

A Book Update

With 70,000 words in the rear view mirror, and the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel in sight, I thought I would provide a quick update on progress, and future plans for the book. There are about 10 chapters left to write; I expect to finish the first draft in early July. Based […]

Dark Matter

Heavy into the Dark Matter chapters this week… becoming a pseudo-expert in all things baryonic and non-baryonic, supersymmetry, and extra dimensions, of course. Oof. “These are just a few of the things I control in my world.” (Extra credit if you can name the source of this quote… it’s an obscure movie favorite of mine). […]
