Original Fiction by Luke Burrage

Over the past year and a half I've written a short novel, on average, once every three months. This normally consists of two months planning a story, then a month of furious writing. So far I've stuck to science fiction themes and ideas, mainly because that's what I'm most familiar with, but I hope to try other genres in the future.
