http://www.geoffwolak-writing.com.  The first is a spy novel titled 
K2.  It is a complete story although he has plans for a sequel.   The other is a time-travel story titled 
Magestic.  It is still in progress.  Some spelling and grammar errors here and there but the stories are lots of fun.
 
I enjoyed reading 
Magestic over the holidays. I like the way the story details are slowly unveiled. It's also available at 
http://storiesonline.net/auth/gwresearch. I've not got around to 
K2, yet.

I have been trying to contact him for some years, now.  Not a hint of a reply.  And doing web searches gets little usefull information.  He has several stories that I would like to see finished.

				I need help people! I'm looking for the link to a specific authors site, I know it was posted somewhere on sennadar.com in the past, a couple of years ago...
All I remember is that He (the author) was working on several stories at once . All contained felinoid or lupine middleaged societies which a male human happens to stumble in.
{ In one story he travels to an unknown starsystem, then his mining starship blows its hyperdrive, and while the autorepair systems begin their work, which will take some years, he explores the only inhabitable planet in system. There he discovers an indigenous species of wolfmorphs and begins to interact with some of them.
Another couple stories deal with a human male on a wilderness trip, I think, who, through some kind of cosmic event gets ripped out of our world and transplanted to some kind of parallel earth, where felinoid catmorphs evolved as the highest lifeform. Again a medival setting in all these stories with some citystates mixed in I think.
The last one I remember is a variation of the first story. A chakatlike species test its first hyperdrive and happens upon a ( to them ) gigantic vessel in another starsystem. The automatic response scanning by this human miningship starship is mistaken for an attack. Battle ensues, which results in heavy damage to both sides. The chakat marines enter the hugh factoryship and retrive examples of human (to them unknown) technology as well as the cryogenically frozen human pilot. The chakat crew manage to return to their homesystem with the loot. The story develops from here to an interesting first contact scenario with misunderstandings, torture, xenophobia, slowly developing trust and an impending attack by human pirates..}
I think His last name was something like Garroway (not Gallowy like Fel) but my searches on the web have netted me no luck... can you guys help please ?

				The 
Tales of Asgard Space series by Sea-Life on Stories Online is turning into an interesting collection of short stories. They follow a Sondag assault ship 
Kadamon which is thrown into unknown space and encounters a couple of desperate human ore miners. Dar and the humans try to establish themselves in Asgard Space just outside of Federation control.

				http://www.fictionpress.com/u/539273/ starts with, "Eric Olafson, NeoViking GC V", then follow the numerals.  In the year 5012, Earth is now known as Terra and part of a gigantic Union of spacefaring civilizations. Many worlds are colonized. This is the story of Eric Olafson, a Neo Viking growing up on a harsh cold planet called Nilfeheim. Follows him as he joins the united stars navy.   
The universe that Vennessa made really is kinda how i picture a united galactic government, including mega corporations who own planets and a population base in centilions (that's 300 zeros), just force your mind to understand that eric is different. I marvel at how she made it massive, it's the best way to describe it, you see a massive thriving galactic spanning society.        
 *be warned that the main character is a kinda cross-dresser, Ignore it! it really has little to do with the storyline and has to do with the main plot way down the line*

Actualy it is Called  "the Galactic Chronicles Series" and starts with Roy Masters then moves to Eric/Erica Olafson
It's a neat tale as you say 
And I've enjoyed following it for the last few years. 
Vennessa has writen more then what is currenty still posted on the page 
some has been removed then rewriten, reedited and then reposted again 
But some parts still haven't been posted or reposted again ...yet. 
Parts 1-4 of "the Galactic Chronicles Series" are still uncompleted or missing  
A bit of 
Warning here ... 
 
Vennessa's chapter updates some times take longer then Fel does <G> 

  and they are posted
with no known pattern or frequency to them. 
  
So if you have problems with this Or Spelling, Grammer and Editing in Stories this is not a tale for you as of yet. 
it's gotten much better over the last few years but still is not 100% polished as far as the editing and proofing goes. 
But it is a very enjoyable tale otherwise if you can but over look these omissions and some errors.
