What This Blog Is About

In the beginning, there was a blog. It was a science fiction and humor blog, to be exact, put together by a little-known yet optimistic writer named Rhonda Jones as she sat with her aging laptop on the floor of a small apartment in Bucharest, Romania. First and foremost, it was to be an experiment.

And here it is. I decided to see whether the Earth would explode if I wrote a novel online. I know. It's a foolhardy thing to do. Civilization as we know it could come to a crashing halt. But my curiosity knows no bounds.

Good Morning Galaxy is the story of an Earthman who discovers he isn't an Earthman after all. He discovers this just as he is recruited as a member of the Quillifaxian Time Agency by an 899-year-old Time Agent who is very determined to retire by his 900th birthday. Lots of fun stuff, including an official alcoholic beverage, a cast of bizarre characters, and the Pleasure Mall that thrives just beyond Earth's atmosphere, hidden from human view by The Veil.

As you can probably tell, I've got a great deal of Douglas Adams lodged in my brain. If you do as well, you may just enjoy what you find here.

And what will you find here? Eventually, the entire first draft of my novel Good Morning Galaxy and, sometime after that, a much more polished draft will appear on the website. It'll be like having a front-row seat to Frankenstein's laboratory. Eventually, there will be attractive PDFs and hard copies for sale, and all sorts of interesting things to do and read and see on Good Morning Galaxy.

You are welcome -- nay, encouraged -- to post what you find here on your website or blog, as long as you include my name and this URL or a link to this site in the same space. So go forth, visit alien worlds and meet strange characters. Drop me a line if you like what you see, if you hate what you see, if you think the characters have begun talking to you or if you just want to annoy your boss.

But, whatever you do, don't touch the green goo.
