My New Year’s resolution is to get Exiles, the next book in the Ark World series, to you all sometime in 2014. Despite coming down with a bug over Christmas I'm now around third of the way into the first rough draft. Still I guess it’s an ill wind that blows no good as my fevered imagination produced a completely new character set to appear in their own story arc/series, sometime, somewhere in 2014/2015.
Finally as 2013 comes to a close its worth noting this was the year we finally became an interstellar species with confirmation on 12 September that Voyager 1 became the first human made object to leave the solar system. You can find out more about Voyager 1 on its NASA page and at Wikipedia.
