Hello Everyone,

Spotlighter stalwart, Yvette Jessen, who has written numerous Starman stories, some of which originally appeared on Tim Gathercole’s Starman fan fiction website and subsequently were converted to our How Novel Archive, recently has been in contact with me to freshen up some of those stories. She’s added some summaries and tweaked them as well, and for one story, “Memories of the Past,” she so significantly rewrote and embellished the story over the original, that I felt it deserved to be archived as a new story in 2014. Yvette indicated she may contribute some new stories not on the Archive as her time permits, and even hinted at a future crossover where our Starman meets another alien with an even longer history on Earth, who also changes bodies along the way. Personally, I can’t wait! In the meantime, enjoy Yvette’s kudos garnering Starman universe with this new and improved version of “Memories of the Past” and a few other tweaked stories listed below.
