Breaking News: USA Discovers another wormhole!

Washington DC, 2049.297.0338 (24 October). The United States State Department announced today that NASA, supported by the US Navy, has discovered and claimed yet another wormhole leading out of the Sol System.

NASA states adjoining system hosts several planets in the habitable zone. An unnamed senior US Navy source claimed that there were definitely planets that looked like they were habitable for humans, calling the system “prime real estate”. This is the fifth wormhole that the USA has discovered in the Solar System. An official stated the system on the far side of the wormhole has been named “Independence”. Reactions from the EU and the PRC are best described as lukewarm. Both entities released statements reiterating the need for a proper distribution of wormhole access among Earth’s major powers and called for the USA to relinquish control of the wormhole to the United Nations.

This is an in setting press release for Total War. It is not real.

Other Works

Besides the works I’ve already I do have a number of… what could loosely be termed short stories. I tend to think of them more as studies, ideas that I like, but which I don’t really see a route to a full book for. Perhaps some of these could become short stories at some point, I haven’t decided yet. Below is a list of a few of the other things I have.

  • A Star Wars Old Republic Era fan fiction. I’m a big fan of Star Wars, particularly Old Republic era and I like writing it, but obviously the kind of story I’d like to tell woul never be acceptable to disney. I don’t expect this one to ever see the light of day.
  • A story about witches, hidden among us throughout most of history, told from the perspective of a relationship an ancient witch has with a lover in the present day. This is one of those where I’m not sure how to make it a whole book.
  • Several tales about a number of different sorceresses, that are really more character studies. One of them is probably going to be integrated into The Last Empire setting, somehow.
  • An alternate history story that deviates from history around 1789 and is set towards the end of the 19th century. For this one making a whole book shouldn’t actually be hard. The difficult decision here is whether I want magic in the setting or not, which I can’t seem to decide on.
