I had so much fun loading my short stories to Smashwords that I decided to bound up all of my articles into one volume, and loaded that too. I called it Articles from the Orbital Frontier, because most of the articles deal with the space settlement concepts of ONeill. But theres also a couple on the subject of skepticism versus irrational beliefs.

RE: [EXTERNAL] [spacesettlers] Re: New short story
OK, all of my SF short stories are now up on Smashwords. This includes all of the High Frontier/space industrialization stories, as well as some not available on the NSS archive of my Space Settlement site.

Interesting comments.
PS when I was first getting into High Frontier concepts (around
2007ish), your stories were what really brought it alive. I can still
picture in my head the Bridge to Space or the eyes shining back in
the dark. Thank you for sharing these!
Thank you for the very kind words. What you describe above was exactly my motivation for writing these stories in the first place. So comments like this are very meaningful for me.
Loading my latest story to Smashwords was a very enjoyable process. Its making me plan to go back to all of my older stories and loading them as well. Most of them are still available on the NSS archive of my old Space Settlement website (
https://space.nss.org/settlement/MikeCombs/
), but some are not. Might as well do them all.
Thanks and Regards,
Mike Combs
