I want to introduce you to three friends of mine: Rusty Wallace, Tonya Jones, and Bear Williams. They are interstellar cartographers, but you can call them map makers.
As you may have guessed, they are fictional. I first met them on July 3, 2005. That was the day I penned the first 2,972 words of "The Pluto Incident," the first episode of Map Makers. Over the course of seventeen (!) drafts, I went on a marvelous adventure with them that included both a monster and space pirates. I finished the final draft on January 1, 2008. I want to share that adventure with you.
Map Makers is a short story serial reminscient of pulp fiction tales and classic space operas divided into seasons and episodes much like a TV series. The entire first season is available online for free. Stay tuned to this blog for behind-the-scenes info, deleted scenes, and news, but in the meantime, go check out the three episodes of the first season:
Enjoy and watch out for Stellar Graveyard flying rats!
