One or two of you might have spotted this in my profile, but for everyone else, here's the news: I've been writing speculative fiction for several years now, and have recently published my first two novels, "Ned Ludd: He-Goose from Hell" and "White-Hot Gruel". The former is a fictional biography of the mythical figure who launched Luddism 200 years ago in England, and the latter is set in a scientific research facility where they're developing solutions to the world food problem. Both books are farcical in nature, with lots of crazy content. And I can announce that between the 15th and the 19th of this month, the kindle versions can be downloaded for free

I could've revealed all this a few months ago, and in fact I was intending to wait a bit longer, because I have a third novel in the pipeline - due for release this year - that contains a sprinkling of Esperanto. It is this, more so than the first two, that is perhaps the most "relevant" here. And I'm open to the idea of writing something new (probably just short story/ies) in Esperanto exclusively.

I'm not a pushy person and I know that my work won't be to everyone's taste, but if you think you might like it, check out my blog at http://www.farcspecfic.blogspot.co.uk/

Dankon uloj!

Will you offer Esperanto translations of your books, too?

The idea did occur to me once, but I have to say the answer is very probably no... This is because, at 55,000 words and written in often-idiomatic/literary English, the job would be too much for me, especially considering that I'm something of a perfectionist.
