Have been a fan off our books and your skills as a narrator since I found the first chapter in your trader serie. Now i wonder how your timetabell is holding up for the next shaman story?

Enjoyed this very much. Glad to hear theres more coming! I'm hoping we'll get to understand "the gift" a bit more. Right now I'm not sure if its just hocus, or theres something there. It may be that that's how you want it to be but my simple mind yearns for a bit "more traction" :-) Either way, i found it very engrossing and superbly written. Now i'm going to go look for the other one i think is out there. (i read/listened to trader and shaman so far). Thanks again for your work, i'm very glad to see that the world is still producing sci-fi masters. I was getting a bit disheartened in my search. Where have you been hiding?!? Looking forward to the next one :-) Great work …. Enjoyed this very much. Glad to hear theres more coming!

A veteran SCIFI fan, I know what I like and whats good, you sir, are among the best and in my opinion destine to take your place among the masters. (hows that for sucking up?) I'm a trucker, long hours of tedious boredom, follow by even MORE long hours of... you guessed it, tedious boredom. I load pod-novels onto my mp3 player, in their completed form and just drive, the miles go by... "Trader's Tale" and now "A Shaman's Tale" have been a great pleasure. I also got to listen to "RavenWood', more great stuff. Your voice talent work on other books has been great as well. Well done sir, well done. t Truly great work.

Ravenwood is a bit darker, because of the nature of the world there. It's a fantasy world and is a bit more adventuresome. I'll be interested to find out how you like it. Owner's Share should be out this spring. Cape Grace this fall. Operative word is "should" there :) I’m so pleased you’re enjoying them.

You have the perfect balance in all your books from narration style to the music. I did all the share series thru to Captains 2x's and now twice thru South Coast. The attraction for me? They are good, clean, masterfully done books. No nasty language or extreme violence. Just really nice characters that I like enough to want to be like. They show respect, humility, and courage to the people around them. I really got to like Richard & Rachel - they seem to shine in each others presence and yet have their own individual strengths that they are not afraid to enforce. Your ability to narrate and your voice are both exceptional. The way you have written these stories are by far not DULL at all. Your books are very refreshing from alot of the trash I have stumbled across and had to stop listening to due to the violence and strong language or just plain negative dark story plots. And you don't have to write a book to know what is good. I am looking forward to Owners Share and Cape Grace. I have also downloaded Ravenwood and will start it tomorrow. By the way I listen at work and have gone thru all these books 2x's in about 3 weeks. I am a much nicer and happier person because of them. Can not say thank you enough.

It's not at all forced or dependent on tired cliches like so many podcast novels I've listened to. The subtlety is refreshing. Your characters are people I'd want to know. Don't change anything. (Except, perhaps, writing faster: I've listened to all your podcasts now, and am itching for more!) P.S.- Did anyone notice when Otto saw Ishamel's dolphin swimming on the beach and picked it up? I can't wait for his father (I assume that's the man with the booth on the space station.) to meet Ishmael and to see if there's anything else going on in this side of the story!

Something to tide me over between Captain's Share releases... well, the first few anyway. If Craig really is an author, he should be taking notes, not criticizing. Any action beyond the incidental would likely detract from Nathan's stories. Quandmeme, why would people assume that her father had been abused? Sarah was not abused by him.

Sorry I didn't see this until just now and I apologize for taking so long to reply. No. They don't lead up to space battles, epic sex scenes, or any of the other adventure tale tropes that make up 99% of sci fi. It's not that the stories have a pacing problem. That *is* the pace. The stories are built around the characters and locales, and the goal is to create compelling stories of common people in places that are far removed from here. Yes. For somebody looking for Weber or Drake or Ringo, these are the wrong books. I'm sorry you spent so much time on them and thank you for taking the time to leave your feed back. Thanks, Craig.
