Some of you may recall that I was involved in the initial 2012 Kickstarter for Elite: Dangerous in a small way. We had rather a lot of fun and games working out how to get some novels funded back then. Suffice to say, through the generosity of the fans, I, along with a number of other authors, were able to write official stories within a game we had loved since childhood.
Those stories have been well received by and large, they paint a picture of how we saw Elite: Dangerous at the time. For myself, I added some characters that people have been enthusiastic about, notably Senator Kahina Loren and Luko Prestigio-Giovanni. I'm truly gratified that folks have taken the trouble to write to me about how much they enjoyed their adventures and asking for more.
Things have moved on since and the game is evolving in new directions. Powerplay has set a new tone for the in game lore and there's the promise of new and exciting content to come. At this time there isn't an opportunity for me to inject more of my type of story into the Elite universe, so I'm taking a leave of absence for now. Perhaps the opportunity for sequels will come at some point and I'll be more than happy to help out.
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Frontier, and all the fans for their support and generousity over the last two and a half years in giving me the opportunity and support to realise a long held dream of writing an official book in the Elite universe. I hope you all considered it was worth it, I certain did.
So, it's not goodbye, but it's farewell for now, as my blog explains. I have some other projects to work on.

Fly safe in the void, and, of course,
Right on, Commanders.
Cheers,
Drew.
