< Back Aviation Blog! Sean E. Kelly May 20, 2023 Come join the Cult of the Wyvern! As you may have gleaned from reading my fiction, I'm a massive aviation nerd. So, after some deliberation, I've decided to start a blog where I review air shows, offer up aircraft-related opinions, and maybe even indulge in some good-natured shitposting now and again. Come on over and join the fun at CULT OF THE WYVERN ! If you're concerned that this venture will distract me from creative writing...don't. Writing fiction requires an entirely different mindset. And, whilst I refuse to make any promises about what my next novel (or any future novels I write) will be, being the inexorably superstitious Irish-blooded specimen that I am, this might have something to do with a future creative writing project of mine. But, like I said...no promises. As for the new site's title, it's a play on a running joke on #avgeek social media. The Westland Wyvern is a relatively obscure British strike fighter (originally meant to drop torpedoes) of the 1950s, much maligned for its short service life and relatively high accident rate. It's become something of a cult favorite with aviation enthusiasts nonetheless, much like The Room and Moxie. Hopefully, my blog will be just as much of a hit with the avgeeks of the world... :) Previous Next

Now Available! The Westland Wyvern was a troubled British strike fighter aircraft that has been largely forgotten...at least in our world. At the far corners of the cosmos, in a world of light and beauty hitherto unknown to humans, it is a legend! ​ It's 1956, and a flight of Royal Navy aviators, among them Canadian exchange officer Sidney Daventry, has just survived a harrowing encounter with the enemy, but something even more terrifying awaits: a swirling vortex, a wormhole into an alien world. When they arrive, they find they're not the only Earthlings marooned there, for two American scientists from 2026, Lucretia Tang and her brother Jeremiah, have also gotten caught up in the storm. ​ Though desperate to get back to the world they know, Lucretia and Sidney learn of a grave threat to the Racosku, the alien planet's native species. Desperate to help the brilliant and friendly creatures, they must convince the others to risk the very machines they need to get home. ​ Generations will collide, personalities will clash, and the Westland Wyvern will become a mount for heroes!

< Back Owl Totem Update Sean E. Kelly Apr 12, 2023 Owl Totem will now be available ONLY from this site. Within the next few days, you will notice that new copies of OWL TOTEM are no longer available through third-party booksellers like Amazon and Barnes & Noble. OWL TOTEM will now be available solely through the store on this website. As OWL TOTEM was a passion project on my part, it was never intended for the mass market. The markup demanded by online bookstores was making the book far more expensive than anyone ought to have to pay, and prohibitively expensive in certain cases. I write stories so that I can share them; what's the point if readers can't experience the story without dropping just south of US$50 for a hardback? (And, believe me, OWL TOTEM looks and feels way better as a hardcover!) The books are much more affordable bought directly from me, and I get to keep a greater share of the profit, so buying from me is a win for all parties. Except Jeff Bezos, but he's got enough mansions already. Of course, you'll still be able to get OWL TOTEM from online bookstores. They'll just be secondhand copies. No new bindings will be made available through those stores. This also means that the book will no longer be available in electronic format. As OWL TOTEM has sold a grand total of one e-book copy thus far, compared to a substantial number of print editions, I doubt anyone will miss it. This does not affect AETHYR and OMEGA NOIR, both of which were intended for mass-market publication and will still be available from all major booksellers in print and e-book formats (though I still encourage you to get your print editions directly from me - save a few bucks and support independent authors!). Thank you for your understanding and your support. Previous Next
