I first created this site upon the publication of Redcrosse in 2011.
The original version was hacked, but you can still see it via the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine.
The main action of the story happens on April 27, 2023, which was a quarter century in the future when I started writing the book in 1997. It was still in the future, albeit nearer, when the book came out in 2011.
I wrote about what it’s like to have your vision of the future and the present about to cross paths in July, 2022, in The world in April, 2023, exploring what I got right and what I got wrong.
Then, when the date actually happened in Retro Futures: “Redcrosse” and the view from 1997 and 2011, I talked about how I had changed as a person in the time between writing Redcrosse and the day of the action. April 27, 2023 was also my late brother Evan’s birthday, so it has another special meaning for me.
Redcrosse is still available in both physical and digital forms. I hope you’ll read it.
