I would like your permission to start reading your story for my podcast on August 2nd. Chapter 1 intrigued me enough that I feel like others around the world should also know about you.

You are most welcome! If you like, you can also read my novelette about a technomage named The Cowled One. Set in the same universe, it became the father of the Sword & Railgun genre.

I like this. I have always been a fan of this genre. I will find the time to read the rest.

This novelette is perhaps one of the best I published in my first anthology collection. Velin the Lothorian and The Cowled one before him exist because of this story.

Intriguing! A 12-foot-tall warrior must stand out among 6-foot Terrans. 😄

Indeed he does! That is one of the reasons why all modern Terran spaceships are built extra big, so they can accommodate Asgardians and PA class mechs.

I cannot wait to listen! I’ve been to the doctors all morning, just to be on the safe side. Thankfully they said I have nothing broken, my hand is simply strained and bruised.
