I am extremely excited–and if I’m being honest, a little nervous–to announce that starting tomorrow, and for the next nine Thursdays, we will be presenting “In the Service of Absolution,” a science fiction short story. The story will follow Captain James Lawrence and the Absolution as they find themselves in a most unexpected place.
I have been working on the story for a little over a year now, having pitched the idea to Tracy not long after Therefore I Geek launched, but it’s one that has been bouncing around my head for the better part of four years. Every so often my mind would wander back to this idea and I’d mumble something to myself about needing to do something with it, though I wasn’t sure what. Once Therefore I Geek went live, it seemed like a perfect place to put something like Absolution. The rest of the writing process was a mostly boring mix of coffee, beer, and typing.
It is a real treat to share this with you all, so be sure to join us over the next few weeks and share in the adventure.
I would also like to extend a special thanks to Steve Patton for helping plant the seed of an idea many years ago.
