Captain
Quasar is out of time.
Pursued
by vengeful Goobalob toll collectors, savage Arachnoid bounty
hunters, and formidable Amazonians, Captain Bartholomew Quasar must
do whatever he can to keep the crew of the Effervescent
Magnitude
out of harm's way. All in a day's work—except time is not on his
side.
Torn
from the present to relive his past, he vows to keep mistakes from
occurring the second time around. But is he doomed to repeat history?
Or can he erase his regrets?
Villains
will be vanquished. Lives will be lost. Bonds will be betrayed.
Heroes will be heroic.
Join
the crew of the Effervescent
Magnitude
for a hilarious time-travel space adventure the likes of which you've
never seen!

to know the man behind the book:
1.
When did you start seriously pursuing writing as a career?
I've
been writing since I was 12, but I started submitting my work for
publication in the summer of 2009. I'd always thought I would pursue
publication at some point—probably after I retired from teaching
or turned 40. My first story was published in January 2010, and
I've had over a hundred others accepted for publication since then. I
won't turn 40 for another year, and I'm still teaching full-time.
Doesn't look like I'll be retiring anytime soon!
2.
How did you create the character Bartholomew Quasar?
When
I came up with Captain Bartholomew Quasar back in the spring of 2010,
I was going for a mash-up between William Shatner's James T. Kirk and
Dudley Do-Right from the Rocky
and Bullwinkle Show
(but in Quasar's case, things seldom ever go right).
He's one of those classic pulp heroes with a heart of gold whose
narcissistic tendencies often land him in hot water. I hope readers
can laugh at Bartholomew Quasar and root for him at the same time.
He's ridiculous, but there's something about his fallible nature that
most of us can relate to on some level.

Are you working on more Captain Quasar stories?
I've
written over 20 Captain Quasar tales so far, many of which are out on
the submission circuit, looking for good homes. "Captain Quasar
and the Ghosts of Space Command" will be published in the next
issue of Perihelion
Science Fiction.
"Captain Quasar and the Carpethrian Call of the Wild" will
be included in the B
is for Broken
anthology, and "Captain Quasar and the Devious Powers of
Persuasion" will be in the Geminid Press space opera anthology.
I'm in the middle of edits on a novella-length adventure I plan to
submit for publication soon. My collection of 15 Quasar tales
Starfaring
Adentures…in SPACE is
available everywhere eBooks are sold—and free for the taking, last
time I checked.
