Three cheers for Gary Renshaw, the voice, video and project talent behind the launch of the first "Flight Cycle" story on http://youtube.com

Our goal is to do about one a month, soliciting art to illustrate each installment. Plan to have some web pages up explaining details by the end of the holidays. In the meantime, anyone who knows an artist who might like to contribute should contact Gary Renshaw at gary@okalrel.org

Hiding Low takes place between the end of Pretenders (coming from Edge Science Fiction and Fantasy Publishing in the fall of 2008) and Throne Price, already in print. It is the story of Amel trying to hide among commoners and low lifes of the empire. If all goes well, when I am done with Hiding Low, I will start the second story of the "Flight Cycle". There are three, all together, which cover Amel's adventures on the run from Ev'rel after stealing baby Erien, the "Throne Price".

Okal Rel Saga titles Throne Price and Righteous Anger are visible in this shot, taken at Bakka Books in Toronto, ON, by Alison Sinclair. From her "blue" period in photography. :-) Thanks AS!

Delighted to give the keynote address Nov 29, 2007, for the Quantum Leaps program in Terrace, B.C., organized by NSIS (Northern Science and Innovation Society). I read out a message from Alison Sinclair about the importance of empowerment through education to further the causes we believe in; discussed how science has taken me places in my own, meandering career; and commented on the science in my SF saga following selected readings from the books, by students. Students took home the book they agreed to read from.
