Still Alive
I just wanted to drop a quick note on the blog to let my Bridge followers know that yes, I am still alive. The last few months have been crazy busy. My work schedule has been full of actual work, I spent a few days in December being called to jury duty followed by a week of a pretty terrible flu, and the Christmas holidays did not afford as much time for leisure as I'd hoped. I've been gaming my behind off lately, trying to recharge my writing batteries.

A New Direction - Two Degrees to the Left
You may notice a slight difference in the look of the web site today, as well a new title - Tales from the Bridge Chronicles. The reason for the change is a slight shift in the purpose of this web site. In the early days, this site was my main and only source for distribution of the Bridge Chronicles stories, before they were called The Bridge Chronicles. Since I've decided not to release the upcoming novels in the series for free anymore, that leaves this site pretty bereft of new content other than links to reviews of the books. To let this site go entirely to seed, though, would be to waste some great marketing potential.

A.F. Stewart reviews Under the Amoral Bridge
A.F. Stewart, writing for the Canada Sci-Fi Examiner, recently reviewed my first science-fiction novel, Under the Amoral Bridge. She gave it a favorable review. The only negatives had to do with a few minor formatting mistakes and typos. That's a fair cop for a book edited by yours truly. Thanks, A.F. for your positive review!

Great Review of Under the Amoral Bridge at InkSplashD
Author David Alexander has a blog called InkSplashD and has recently reviewed the eBook version of Under the Amoral Bridge. He gave it a great review, with the only real negatives being the formatting of the ePub version - something he notes is a problem with many of Smashwords' ePub versions. From the review:
I downloaded the ePub version of the file from Smashwords and shuttled it to the top of my TBR pile. That was like a week ago. Off and on, over the course of the next few days, I managed to finish all 51,000 words.
And let me tell you, I need Book 2. The book was well written, dialog was sharp, and descriptions were pretty much on-point. Ballard doesn’t hit you over the head with pretty prose or pages upon pages of description. There’s nothing pretty in 2028 Los Angeles. His prose comes off sharp, the characters acerbic.
I'd like to thank David for his excellent review!
