Want to Share My Universe?

When my first novel was accepted for publication by Windstorm Creative, a traditional press located in Seattle, the editor suggested I make it the first volume of a series. This first book, Season of the Plant, released in September 2007, is an action-adventure story of an expedition to the jungles of Belize, where a sentient and murderous species of plant entraps them. The series, entitled The PlanetCare Discoveries, is to be based on similar expeditions to different parts of the world, PlanetCare being the sponsoring organization of the journeys. All books in the series are to be action-adventure, and all hopefully with some sci-fi theme, as is my book. What is interesting is that the series is part of the publisher’s Shared Universe Project, in which other authors or aspiring authors are invited to submit manuscripts. Accepted books will be published under the author’s own name, without reference to mine, although I am the ‘seminal’ author of the series. At Windstorm’s request I have written a small volume, The PlanetCare Discoveries Sourcebook, as a guide for potential authors. This was also published in September 2007. I invite and urge authors or aspiring authors who might be interested in this type of opportunity to contact me at masterman1225@yahoo.com.
