When I first saw Halo,
the game that would become Xbox's killer app was still in deep
prototype and the console that would make it a hit hadn't even been
announced yet; but even back then I saw the potential for awesomeness in
the saga, and when Halo: Combat Evolved arrived in 2001, I
was on board. Drawn in by the epic scope and the visceral, dynamic
gameplay, I was in for the long haul - and a decade and a bit later, I'm
still engaged in Master Chief's world.
So naturally, when I learned that Simon & Schuster (with whom I've worked on Star Trek fiction for several years) were picking up the license to produce all-new original stories in the Halo universe, I knew that was a flag I had to capture. I pitched myself to S&S and the folks at 343 Industries and the end result was an opportunity to write a story set deep in the continuity of the saga, as part of a new anthology called Halo: Fractures. The book will release this September under the Gallery Books imprint in trade paperback, eBook and unabridged audio editions.

I'll
be joining a literary strike team of writers that also includes Tobias
Buckell, Troy Denning, Matt Forbeck, Kelly Gay, Christie Golden, Kevin
Grace, Morgan Lockhart, John Jackson Miller, Frank O’Connor and Brian
Reed - and I'll talk more about my work in the collection in the months
ahead.
