Dear fellow Holy Worlders,

Today my first published book, The Last Flight of Captain Calder Scott, went live on Kindle for $2.99. For those of you who have not been following its production, Last Flight (as I call it for short) is an alternate history steampunk novelette about an airship mechanic's apprentice who falls in with a pirate crew and soon faces difficult choices about his loyalties, his values, and even his life.

It can be found here.

I encourage all of you to check it out. If you read it and you have the time, please do write a review. Thanks.

--Samuel C. Starrett

"The knight is a man of blood and iron, a man familiar with the sight of smashed faces and the ragged stumps of lopped-off limbs; he is also a demure, almost maidenlike, guest in a hall, a gentle, modest, unobtrusive man. He is not a compromise or happy mean between ferocity and meekness; he is fierce to the nth and meek to the nth." --C.S. Lewis, "The Necessity of Chivalry"

Current WIPs include:


The Last Flight Of Captain Calder Scott--A Wanderlust Canon Tale (Steampulp Alternate History Adventure Novelette)

Estimated length: 17,000 words.
Currently Completed Length: In Editing Phase
