I write what I call hard science fiction in two forms which can be distinguished by the degree of speculation in the science and technology.
The first form is slightly extrapolated science and technology, usually over the near-term. Titles in this form would be my collections Cislunar and Luna, my novel L4 Station, and my novella series MarsX. To my knowledge, all the science and technology in these titles has a good chance of being developed.
The second form would be substantially extrapolated science and technology, usually in a distant time (though not always). This is much more speculative, and examples would be my Mach Series (wormhole physics), Null Infinity Series (large extra-dimensions), Time Series (not time-travel but time manipulation).
As far as I know, none of the science or technology I speculate about has been ruled out yet, even in my highly extrapolated work.
My style of science fiction writing could be considered big idea and adventure with a touch of romance (sometimes). One reviewer compared my writing to Isaac Asimov's writing. I love most of the Asimov I've read, and I think that's a fair comparison in the scope of the work, importance of ideas, and general optimism, but I do think I handle characterization better, maybe because it's more expected these days.
My latest major releases are The Realm (substantial spec.), L4 Station (slight spec.), and MarsX Series (slight spec.). Upcoming releases include Null Infinity (substantial spec.). and Brane World (substantial spec.).
Thank you for reading.
