Writing The Fetish

Burnout: The mystery of Space Shuttle STS-281 was my first book, begun while
I was still working the Shuttle program. It took a long time to write because I
was so close to it that I had to periodically back off and get some emotional
distance. After all, I was writing about a disaster - exactly what I did
NOT want to see happen in real life. It did, of course, despite my precautions
to write something different. I guess sometimes it IS possible to know too much.

And readers have begged for more. And so I am working on a sequel, tentatively
called Escape Velocity. But I never intended for Burnout to be anything other
than a standalone story, not initially. But when I'd finished, my publisher
and I realized the story wasn't over. So I'm working on that sequel, but it's
still too close to losing my friend - made more poignant by recently talking
to one of the coroners who worked the field examinations.

So by way of saying to my fans, "Be patient, I'm getting there," I thought
I'd put this out for you to read. And if you aren't one of my fans yet, check
it out. It's a short story, inexpensive, and therefore isn't a large investment
of time or money. And you just might find you like it.

Enjoy!
