I have written a science thriller novel "The Krone Experiment." If you would like a copy of this cult classic in hardback, you can let me know and we can probably work something out. I also have a draft of a sequel, "Krone Ascending," and half of a draft of an internet-based astronomy thriller, "Connections." Check out the Austin-made, independent digital film of "The Krone Experiment."
I have written some stories from my travels around the world as an astronomer. One on China dates from 1984. Another one is about my first trip to Copenhagen .
The local alternative paper, The Austin Chronicle, also sponsors a short story writing contest every year with a limit of 2000 words per story. I have contributed to this for a while, just as an exercise in writing. I've posted them here for viewing:
I have also written up some memories of an especially well-publicized college prank. That's the Great Pumpkin Hack.
My father participated in the development of the first hydrogen bomb. Some of this story is in Eniwetok (see also Sleet Sue).
To celbrate the fortieth anniversary of the march on Washington, I finally wrote up Memory of a Dream (2003).
