Having lived in the SF Bay area while studying at the University of California, Berkeley, I am impressed with the detail and character development in your historical fiction series. Hope you can continue writing these stories for many more years!
Interesting seeing the stats as I add mine. The most surprising to me is that more of your readers don't read your science fiction. Personally, I think it is some of the best out there. Sci Fi is such a broad category and I have found it very difficult finding authors I like. I've read everything published in the Caelestis (sp?) series and am sad there is not more. I think it is a wonderful world with a lot of possibilities, as you have shown.
Because of cost and ease of carrying, I mostly use my Kindle. But some authors I get both paper and ebook--because I have their earlier books originally in paper and I like to keep getting them in paper, but it is much easier to carry in the Kindle. Examples (most recently bought in both formats) Mercedes Lackey, Julie Czerneda, Patty Briggs, David Weber (note big Fat Large books), John Ringo, etc. Most are Science fiction. But I read a lot of different genres. I started your books as ebooks, so will continue getting them in such format.
I love love love your Caelestis series! They are right up there with the Pern series, IMO, and although you feel the need to finish it, I'll miss reading about any new adventures in that world, or even beyond...
I started following you long ago because you wrote about the business side of marketing your books as an indie author. While I have enjoyed all your historical writing, I was surprised to find that I like your science fiction even more. Your characters in the Caelestis series feel freer, less constrained by historical facts, and the storytelling flows beautifully. I look forward to the final book of the series.
I anxiously await your next historical fiction book

I read both your Historical and science fiction because your Sci Fi to me is Historical in a sense.
