Watched THAT episode last night. Damn. Doesn't matter how many times I've seen it, it hits so hard. Is there any other episode in television history that is so relentlessly devastating?

Working on the next stories in my "10 Cent Universe" composed of sci-fi mashups. The primary series is a hardboiled noir on a generation ship. The other is a western set on the planet the ship eventually settles.

Drop some GHOSTS
Force ghosts of Anakin Skywalker, Yoda, and Obi-Wan Kenobi from the original version of RETURN OF THE JEDI.

Yoda is looking at Obi-Wan like he just farted on him. Obi-Wan is clearly thinking: "Whoever smelt it, dealt it."

Book covers for the MURDER ON THE STARSHIP AUSTRALIS series with reviews:

The short, fast-paced writing left me unable to put down the book until I read "just one more quick chapter." And then boom...the book ends...and what a great ride.

This is the kind of book I honestly crave more of far before its final pages. It's so earnest and wonderful and fun!"

As a detective, Tom asks a lot of questions, but sometimes a grudge makes it more fun NOT to ask. Read the next novelette (coming... soon... ish?) in the TOM DEVOE, PRIVATE INVESTIGATIONS series by joining the mailing list! forms.gle/6rfu4TqDtaAa... ⚡️📚💙 🪐📚 🚀 📚😏
Excerpt titled Expecting Lies:

I nodded and took a few steps further in. “Looking for someone and have a feeling you know a thing or two.”
He held his palms up. “You could have asked.”
“Asking now. Expecting lies. You trafficking girls?”
“Geno’d never allow it.”
I scoffed. “Doesn’t mean you aren’t.”
Tiny gulp. “What does it matter to you?”
“Took the wrong one, [spoilers!]. You’re lucky you’re only dealing with me. Her daddy comes looking–you ever seen your own spleen?”
“Like I said: you could have asked.”
Left cheek pulled back my mouth into a lopsided smile. “Didn’t really wanna ask.”
