More About the Author
Kindle readers: Would you like a glimpse behind the scenes of my writing of The Chaos Chronicles? The ebook versions of Neptune Crossing, Strange Attractors, and The Infinite Sea now include all-new Afterwords--my reflections on the evolution of the series and my experience in writing each book. I've kept the prices low on these editions to encourage you to give them a try if you're new to my work. I hope you enjoy them!
Here's a little about me:
A Midwesterner by birth and upbringing (I grew up in Huron, Ohio), I've lived in New England ever since attending college at Brown University, in Rhode Island. Now I live outside Boston with my wife and daughters, and also with a boxer named Hermione and a cat named Moonlight.
I've loved science fiction since I first began to read, and from the time I began writing, I always knew my first love was going to be SF. I'm not sure where you'd place me as a writer: I love astronomy and cosmology and hard SF concepts, and yet the characters are the most important thing to me in any story, whether it's a story I'm reading or a story I'm writing. It's the people, and the sense of wonder, that have always made science fiction--and science!--so awe-inspiring to me. Basically, I have always tried to write stories that I would want to read myself.
Some years ago, I developed and hosted on the air an educational TV series fo r middle-school classrooms, called Writing Science Fiction and Fantasy--teaching kids the basics of how to turn ideas into stories. That later turned into a computer-based course called, oddly enough, Science Fiction and Fantasy Writing. In 2005, I decided it was about time to put the information online as a public service, available for free to any aspiring writer. It's online now, and you can use it anytime you like, just by going to http://www.writesf.com.
I also invite you to stop by and read my regular blog, at http://starrigger.blogspot.com, or my web site at http://www.starrigger.net.
Thanks for visiting! And please take a look at the video trailer for my novel Sunborn. If you'd like to view it in full-screen for full effect, you can do that at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K03RMcSeiY4.

3.0 out of 5 stars
not Carver's best work,
By
This review is from: Star Rigger's Way (Mass Market Paperback)
I am a big fan of Jeffrey A. Carver's Chaos Chronicles. This was my first flight into his Star Rigger universe. The "rigging" premise is interesting enough that I will be reading some of the other rigger books soon, I have hopes that they are better than Star Rigger's Way. I was disappointed by the ending, some characters changed for the better, some changed for the worse, and the changes seemed to be out of convenience to the author and not necessarily fitting with whatever we had learned previously about the characters. The notion that people change and no longer "fit" after being years apart is true to life, it just does not seem like an idea worthy of being *the* plot element for a story.

The back story to Eternity's End - but not nearly as good,
By K. Maxwell "katmax1" (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Star Rigger's Way (Mass Market Paperback)
Star-Rigger Gev Carlyle found himself alone on a spaceship where all the other riggers had been killed by a space anomaly and unable to get the ship home by himself till he stumbled across someone else also stranded.After reading _Eternity's End_ by this same author I found this book a disappointment. Although it must be said that this book dovetails into that one with certain sequences. I nevertheless found it hard to warm to Gev who seemed slightly crazed throughout this entire book with his obsessive attempt to re-create a past already lost to him. Its easy to see from this book how much this author has improved over the years from this rather simple SF story to his much more rich _Eternity's End_ offering.

Interstellar travels using mind controlled ships.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Star Rigger's Way (Mass Market Paperback)
Star Rigger's Way is a story of a pilot and the ship he guides through intersteller space by a mind enhanced guidance system. Beyond the space and science references, the story reads much like any other man & ship story, be it in space or ocean.
