One foot in front of the other, inch by inch, slowly getting closer to that goal post you’ve set. But does it matter how fast you get there, or just that you eventually get there? I don’t know, I guess it’s different for everyone. For me, I think there’s a lot of benefit to valuing the small steps, because each of those small steps push you forward, and if you’re moving forward then you’ll eventually get to that goal.

This story was written for Chuck Wendig's flash fiction challenge over on his terribleminds blog. The only stipulation that it be 1000 words of space opera. I couldn't resist trying to squeeze a space epic out of my brain place. I may have tried to pack in too much story. Still, I like the characters and the world. A bit more time in the editing grinder might have done it some good, but I'm still pretty happy with it. Here's my attempt at (a little over) 1000 words of space opera. 

Moon Breaker now has a nifty paperback version. The interior was done by expert format-smith Skyla Dawn Cameron, and the cover illustration was done by the supremely talented Marek Jarocki. I had tried experimenting with the layout and cover on my own and botched it in magnificent ways. That’s when I decided it was best to reach out to a couple of folks who actually know what they’re doing. The result is a very professional looking paperback that I think could be nestled on the shelves of brick and mortar stores.
