Since this blog stumbled into digital existence as my first book was published, it became a basic novel marketing platform by default. That novel was Zenn Scarlett, part of a science fiction adventure series about a novice exoveterinarian caught up in a galaxy-spanning web of intrigue. Thanks to my savvy and hard-working agent Adam Schear of DeFiore & Co., the book was sold to the UK’s Angry Robot Books, with distribution in North America by Penguin Random House (huzzah!). That original over-long book was then split into two self-contained novels, Zenn Scarlett and its sequel, Under Nameless Stars.
On this site, I’ll post about life here at the Schoon home base, as well as fiction writing and bookish topics in general, as well as the authors and films and blogs and sites that manage to flag down the careening-around-corners-on-two-wheels Good Humor truck that is my all-too-short attention span.
Since I’m an SF fan and animal-person, I’ll also be posting about things like exobiology (and earthly biologies) and other science-y stuff. And there will almost certainly be detours into talking about the 1870′s-era farm I live on, and the abused/neglected horses and other critters my wife and I help rescue and rehab around here.
So, hang out for a while, take a look around, get comfy. And thanks for stopping in.
