MEET THE GODDESS OF LOVE

Silverlock started with a shipwreck. These new adventures begin with a barroom brawl and a surprise visit from Venus, goddess of love and other natural disasters. "Hi, Sugar," she says, "got a match?"

From that moment on George is a man with a mission - a pilgrim in pursuit of happiness on a road traveled by folks a scientist rarely meets: the happy-go-lucky ne'er-do-wells of the arts.

Will George survive? The high road to his heart's desire is paved with quite enough perils for one star-crossed scientist - forced by fate to learn the arts of love and letters. Stay tuned...

I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
