I have one published original Sci-Fi novel as well as these Star Wars fanfics. I am currently working on an Original Sci-fi/Fantasy series that is now into its sixty-seventh chapter of its fourth book. The world and characters for this story have grown far larger than I would have ever thought; with me developing my own language and selecting hundreds of different ships and weapons and even clothes that have been used. Pretty wild. If you are not adverse to violence, language and love scenes you should check out the Yahoo Group for the story.
