Smashwords Interview

Where did the inspiration come from for "Footprints on the Moon"?
I have always been fascinated by the moon, and have written about it before, both fiction and nonfiction. Ever since reading “Rocketship Galileo” and “A Fall of Moondust” and “The Trouble with Tycho” I was hooked. Many SF writers have written stories that take place on the moon. One day, I knew, I would be one of them. The central trope of this story came to me when I was struggling to come up with ideas to deal with the moon’s harsh environment. Must people really live in domes?
Why did you decide that people would live on the moon when Earth became inhabitable? Why not another planet (real or fiction)?
Humanity’s movement into space is still in its baby steps. But as we move onto the stars, the moon, I think will be the first stepping stone. Whether for science, military occupation, or colonization is an open question. And there’s the conflict. Who has the right to live on the moon?

Series

Collidor
SF is an arena where ideas collide. The Collidor series features authors who came together to take part in an experiment combining very different stories through the illustrations of artist Jeff Doten and commentaries connecting them to resonances in the world. Because every reading experience is a collision of author and reader. Of individual innovation and traditions of literature. Of subject matter and history. Initially web-published with commentaries, the series will be collected into a print anthlogy as the first example of the web-to-print production model by Reality Skimming Press.
