Just wanted to let everyone know that we have updated the Starman website! You can find all the details on the news section of the Starman site. The site...
Hi Jon! Thanks for updating the Starman web site. I liked the new images you put up. Is the frontpiece of The Heart of Darkness a homage to Dig Allen's Robots...
... Robots of Saturn? Sure looks like it to me! It most definitely is. The text that this illustration is based on is a blaring, intentional tribute to a...
I have some good news! I spoke with Phil Zuckerman at American Web Books today and found out that they had in hand the printed copies of Mutiny on Mars. They...
At the end of The Runaway Asteroid, one finds this sentence: "A little more than two months later, the Seatons, Taylors, and Fosters prepared to celebrate...
Here's a really great site I found about Atomic Rockets, Rayguns and lots of other neat stuff. Lots of scans from early science fictions books and stuff too. ...
The Starman Team is happy to report that the final draft of The Heart of Danger has now been completed. We have spent over a month since the first draft was...
"Mutiny on Mars" arrived today.from Applewood. A nice thing to discover when I got home. S.J.S. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
Mine arived today also. Ordered the reprint of Doomsday Horizon the other day. Noticed that I was only number 8 to do so. Long wait at this rate!!! 73 dennis ...
... Very true! When I checked over the weekend it was up to 15, I think, so it's climbing. I think that as the word spreads and more people are aware of what...
In DOOMSDAY HORIZON, there is a scene in which Mark and Joe discover some murals with depictions of beautiful aliens on an Edenic planet. In the description of...
Now, as I read farther in THE STAR BEAST, a character named Beulah Murgatroyd turns up. Aargh! I had already selected Beulah O'Brian as a name for a character...
Trust me David, you're not the only author, nor the first, to come up with an idea only to find out that Heinlein got there first! He invented, pioneered,...
... And what little Heinlein may have left had been picked up by Doc Smith--so I'm discovering. Maybe that's not bad. For science fiction to be plausible it...
Hi David! There's plenty of room for new authors to tell good stories. It's just a bit difficult to unearth something new. There are, by one count, only 36...
... Ah, I've run across that list before. Very nice. I was even able to peg which one the Starman series fits into. Sometimes I think that there are only two...
... I've been away in California for the past twenty days, and had this list "turned off" for that period, so forgive me if I utter a "non sequitur", or bring...
O.K., I have verified the information given in my previous post, concerning the book, "Plots Unlimited". Here is the complete information factlet: "Plots...
... Ah--way out in the land of the barbarians on the edge of the planet. Yes. ... Well said. It is good to have a post from you, Glenn. I was just thinking...
... Hmmmm... I must have missed that part. What's Plotto??? (If you say it's a primitive version of "Plots Unlimited", I'll strangle you with my bare hands,...
Hi Glenn! You posted the Amazon.com link and didn't read the review on that same page? Sounds like something I would do but at least this time it wasn't me!...
... I guess that's my cue to chime in, then. I'm back working after some 18 months of unemployment, but the job's in Salem, about 50 miles from Portland, so my...
... Hmmm. Well first of all, I think it's spelled "Yay!". :) O.K., here's the dope: I bought "Plots Unlimited" from Amazon many moons ago and read the...
Well I didn't want my enthusiasm to be confused with a branch of the Thai language or another Compiler compiler so I chose to be biblical and let my ...
... It's been done. I have a book of short Sci-Fi stories where the authors were all given the same instructions then left to produce wildly different stories....
... Nice to hear from you, Dafydd! Nice comments! ... I fully agree. It would be real fun to see a number of short stories written from the same plot outline....
