An Iron Falls update

I have just completed yet another editing run of my upcoming novella, titled Iron Falls: The Enemy Within. Hopefully by next week it'll be going for a final edit via means of a professional, as there is a high possibility of a few typos and grammatical snafus slipping through my attention. The story is a predominantly plot driven narrative, which I thought was better suited for what I wanted to show.

As to what next?

Good question.

When I first started on the Iron Falls journey, I have envisaged something akin to the Atlantis DSV series by James Ward and Star Trek Liberty by J. Manno. Both are fan fictions, with Atlantis done in homage to seaQuest and Liberty obviously based on the Star Trek franchise. The only difference being that mine is set up in a completely made up universe, in a futuristic setting dreamed up by me. But why emulate a couple of writers who write fan fiction? The answer to that, it's well written and the style of narrative is something I enjoyed in my younger days, and in my humblest opinion were on par with my favourite authors - such as Dayton Ward and Ben Bova.
