I know it is unusual to give gifts to other people on one's own birthday, but this seemed a good time. You see, I received a book of deathtraps earlier, and there's a chapter about using the future as a deathtrap.

Weird, right? How is the future a deathtrap? And then it occurred to me: "Catastrophe Theory", my personal future-verse in the PPC, is totally a deathtrap! And that got me thinking...

Why should it be my own personal future-verse? Why not open it up for other people to write in? And that, my friends, brings me to the gift:

Catastrophe Theory is open for business! Death for some; fun for all!

Want to write about your agents fighting the good fight against impossible odds? Want to explore what it would mean to one or more of your characters to experience the (non-canon) loss of one or more loved one? Want your characters to go down in a blaze of glory? Then this is the opportunity for you...on a couple of conditions.

This will be a curated series. That means I will be involved in a couple of ways in your writing process. Here's how:

1) In order to keep all writers, stories, and hidden details working together coherently, you and I will discuss your ideas before you start writing.

2) I'm gonna need to be one of your betas. This will allow me to say things like "you mention Agent X died in the Cafeteria, but I had them in the library with the candlestick." Again, so that all stories work together.

3) I may give you secret information to add in to your stories so you can be in on the mystery of what all went down.


So, if you solemnly swear that you're up to no good, shoot me an email (available via my name at the top) and we'll talk.
