New fantasy Short story in published anthology!
Well, looks like someone likes my fantasy work! I have a new short story that will be in the TANSVAAL press'
Of Witches, Warriors, and Wyverns
look for it around Jan 2020!
If it sells good, might do many more short stories like it...

A Big Kid's Book of Fishes, Whales, Ocean Monsters, and Fish from all over!
My latest book, A World of Fishes and Whales: Over 400 Fishes and Water Animals from Around the World , is done and available in Amazon in physical and eBook form. It is a beast as far as kid's books go, meant for reference as much as just paging through and looking at cool fishes and sea life. Technically, there are 377+ fishes (some fishes have seagoing or alternate forms, boosting the count to over 380), 28 mammals (seals, dolphins, manatees, baleen whales), 7 birds (including 4 penguins), 8 living reptiles (turtles, crocodiles, snakes), 38 invertebrates (crustaceans including: crayfish, shrimps, crabs, deep sea jellies, squid, octopus, worms, and snails), 4 extinct sea going reptiles (dinosaurs, of course), megalodon, xiphactinus (think giant tarpon with teeth), dunkleosteus (armored sea monster fish), and orthocone. All are organized loosely by groups and shapes. Each species has the common name, scientific name, and location. Also put in a few underwater pictures for kid's to try and pick out real fish (adding 3 more species too) taken from my adventures, and a few above water fish so real world fish can be compared to drawings in the book. There are diagrams to explain how sharks are different from bony fish and mammals, a global map to key fish locations, and a guide to what a fish's shape says about how it lives. 140 pages of fishy goodness and cool biological art.
Anyone should be able to grab the book, and go to an aquarium, pond, or beach, and take a guess at what they see. While I couldn't ever draw every fish (over 40,000), this one gets a kid into the ballpark. It is the fish book I wish I had when I was a kid, looking at fish, and wondering what they are.
and yes, every fish, whale, and dinosaur in here can be purchased on shirts, hats, shower curtains, wallpaper, etc. too.

Yes, I am a space geek among many things.
I did two presentations at NSS ISDC 2019, both on Space Settlement Space Farms, both posted on my Space Farm site (spacefarms.info), and likely someone caught the video too.
I am also working on a Space Farm textbook, which will likely come out end of 2019, and a series of technical papers on that topic too.
Still shopping for an agent or real traditional publisher for my latest Sci Fi book...if you are a real one, email me :0)
And working on a variety of fish book projects too :0)

Donations from Royalties
To all who bought my books in 2018/2019 to date thank you.
As promised, I took those royalties (and of my own accord, doubled them) and donated them to the St. Louis Crisis Nursery (crisisnurserykids.org) to help out kids in crisis. It is a good charity (likely a place like it in your neck of the woods too).
Look for more books in 2019, including a grown up Space Farm book, sci-fi books, and kids books on STEM and fish :0)
Later,
Bryce

More Space Stuff
Hello all,
Still shopping for an agent for my latest Sci-Fi novel, maybe I get a hit soon!
Presented another space farm paper at AIAA SPACE 2018 (had Buzz from Apollo 11 in audience and with whom I had talked at NSS ISDC 2018 about Mars orbits), posted preso on my http://www.spacefarms.info page, which is where all that stuff goes, and talked with lots of young engineers whom show a bright future for space tech.
If you ever want to see some wicked cool graphics using my space farm work, see Brian Versteeg's page (the ones with fish and rows of hydroponics are from my work).
Also working on a space farm text book, another kids space book (You Will Fly Spaceships), some more fishy kids and grown up books, and doing up lots of fishy art on my various pages (Design by Humans, Cafe Press, Spoonflower, Sprout, etc. summed up in a graphic mobile friendly catalog).
If you are in St. Louis 11 Oct, stop by Venture Cafe to see Al Globus, who is talking space settlements at 6:30 PM CDT, and who just put out a new space settlement book with Tom Marotta.
Feel free to google me and space farms in the same sentence to get videos and links other folks have done with my presos, and look for my next event.
Enjoy, tight lines, and go space!
Bryce

See me at St. Louis Gateway to Space 01 Sep 2018
Finally emerged from getting my manuscript out for AIAA SPACE 2018 (on Energy Requirements for Space Farms, look for me in the Mars session and any settlement based sessions 17-19 Sep, see https://space.aiaa.org/ ),
and am crafting the preso for my talk at St. Louis Gateway to Space 01 Sep 2018 at the St. Louis Science Center (see: http://stlouisspacefrontier.org/GTS18.html, tickets available on Eventbrite here https://www.eventbrite.com/e/gateway-to-space-2018-destination-moon-tickets-47702972876 ). We use the funds to pay for the event then any leftovers go to our STEM and space education efforts, fyi, I bought a ticket for my spouse too.)
See you there,
Bryce
