“Why on earth would you write fantasy?” That question has been posed to me over and over. Often from the same people who ask, “Why do you like Star Trek? What’s wrong with you?”

Now, I’m not daring to equate my stories to those imaginings from the late great Gene Roddenberry, but rather that I like both my stories and all things Star Trek. The latter fired my young imagination, pushed the limits of my muse later on, and gave me the strength to write fantasy.

There have been ups and downs along the way, through the pain of an editor determined to extinguish the fire of imagination, and a detour to contemporary, mystery and even historical stories as I honed my craft. When I finally returned to those fantasy stories after a sojourn of nearly two decades, they still rang true for me. They still delved into the foibles that may be part of the human spirit, but are part of my aliens’ lives as well. They also dipped into a well of myths and legends as old as their distant solar system, with creatures and celestial bodies as unique as any we have ever seen.

Seven stories in three anthologies later, the history is complete. From when we first learn of the covert Fa-shonians, aliens more myth than material, to the demi-god that returns to destroy all life in that solar system, we understand the warnings and have invested in the lives of the people on all four planets.

I hope you’ll enjoy The Gifts of Argostar Part 1 and The Gifts of Argostar Part 2. Part 3 will be out this winter.
