Assuming there are some racing/SF fans around here...

Mix the Indy 500 and SF, and what do you get? >> http://tinyurl.com/oe3lqqg

Newly released with a fresh original (yes, oxymorons R us). :)

Congratulations on the new release, Ron!

That sounds like a lot of fun Ron! I got my copy loaded on the Kindle. Looking forward to enjoying it!

Thanks, Patrick. Let me know how we fared. :)

Congrats Ron. Methinks I'll give it a try as well.

I assume you don't have audio book versions of any of your work? I consume a lot of my literature in the car now with a 30 minute commute.

Thanks, Bill.

You can find audio of my work in at least these two places:

Bugs - This is a free podcast at the SF Fanzine StarshipSofa. It's preceeded by some other stuff that you might find interesting, but my story starts at about the 15 minute mark as I remember. The intro is kinda fun. :) The story was originally published in Analog and "won" a second place prize for their best short story of the year as voted on by that magazine's readers.

The Legend of Parker Clark and Lois Jane - Appearing in the Fiction River anthology "How to Save the World." My story is one of several, and you have to pay for this one. :)

You can also have me add you to my newsletter. I have, on occasion, dropped "fan only" audio versions that I create to the list members as freebie gifts. [insert self-serving grin here]. The last was a mash-up of one of my stories against a backdrop of one of my brother's instrumental guitar things. He's a serious musician out in LA. Most recently played lead for Gabble Rachet (among others), who were/are a Genisis tribute band. If interested, just drop me an email address and I'll add you.

If you decide to dig into any of these things, let me know what you think of them!

In my spare moments I've managed to thoroughly enjoy the first two stories. Truly entertaining and imaginative stories Ron! The kind that leave lasting images in the memory. That is the mark of a fine tale and one I don't come across as much these days.

Somewhere after the second story I deviated in Asimov's Foundation Trilogy. After I dispense with the Mule and find that Second Foundation it'll be fun to get back to your remaining yarns. I'm really looking forward to enjoying them some hot summer afternoon.

Great stuff!

Thanks so much, Patrick. Those stories are great fun to write. Pure SFy goodness.

If you truly do enjoy them, you can always help us out with a review on the Amazon site. :)
