This is planned as a collection of short stories all about the character Roger Ray and his job as a relic hunter in a far off galaxy. There are many Earth analogues and it's not true science fiction. Classifying this set of stories involves the complex geometry of space, westerns, 1920's serial character, pulp fiction, and elements of fantasy. The elevator pitch is Indiana Jones meets Have Gun Will Travel in space, with a bit of Sam Spade thrown in for good measure.
Tentative title for the collection is "The Adventures of Roger Ray, Relic Hunter."

Astor
I still don't know what I'm going to call this novel (or series), so I'll be using the 'Astor' tag indefinitely. I'm not even positive that 'Astor' will stick.
In addition to the 2000 words I owe Cameron this week, I'm also going to begin my outline. This is usually the point where a given writing project dies screaming. Outlines are necessary to keep a large story from falling apart under the weight of its own inconsistencies, but I fear them.
