In a departure for me, I've posted a non-erotic story for your enjoyment, The Outlaw Joseph Wells. This short novella (novelette?) introduces the character of Maxim Galloway, the central protagonist of a technothriller novel called Project Athena (working title), which I've been working on for quite a number of years now. Obviously, I haven't been working on it very hard.
I came across this story, which I wrote several years ago and had completely forgotten about, while searching for something else on my hard drive and thought it would be fun to post it here to see how it performs and, hopefully, get some feedback, so please make sure to give it a rating if you read it. Maybe I should have posted it on the Scifi Stories sister site instead, but since I've developed a small following here over the past couple years, I figured I'd put it somewhere you'd actually see it.
Lest anyone worry, I'm not actively working on Athena right now. I have way too much on my plate already. When I wrap up my current works in progress, however, I might consider picking it up again and finally finishing it. As the description to Outlaw alludes, the story's setting is a near-future U.S., where several states secede after a devastating event. Southern Louisiana, now called Acadiana, becomes this stateless, quasi-autonomous territory filled with all kinds of colorful characters.
Anyway, if you'd like for this novel to see the light of day, drop me a note to let me know.
In the meantime, don't forget to check out another new short story I recently posted, The Realtor, which is a fun little erotic coupling chock full of double entendres.
For those patiently waiting, I'll be posting another chapter from The Facility soon, so keep an eye out for that as well.
