Humphrey Price, Science Fiction Writer
I am a space systems engineer at NASA JPL, writing science fiction in my spare time. My mission is to introduce interesting plausible ideas for space travel, aliens, and the future of the human race through highly realistic hard science fiction stories.
I have written two unpublished novels, a novella, and a dozen or so short stories. Two additional novels have been planned out in detail and are in work, and there are ideas for others. The challenging part is getting them published in venues that have some level of readership. These are the stories that have been published so far or have been accepted for publication:
The High Card – Pseudo-western asteroid prospecting adventure with a shyster poker player who bets all his chips on a new discovery.
