Keeping in mind that italics are telepathic communication. “You don’t get it, do you? We’ve been as much your prisoners since we captured you in that ravine, as you have been ours. We’ve protected you, fed you, guided you, clothed you. Rescued you! We haven’t had a choice. That’s what’s frustrating. We have no choice. […]

I’m getting to release the Starchild series with new covers (and a bit of a tweak to the content)! Here’s a little taste of the first book. Hope it makes you want more. Stand by for the re-issue! She still stood on the weathered stone of the tower heights. She knew that. The star-response only […]
A dashing female Han Solo and her “Chewy” co-captain meet all the aliens in Guardians of the Galaxy in this exhilarating space adventure. I’m thrilled to see my science fiction adventure, about a female space captain and her Tabisee partner, finagled into a dangerous mission by some dubious aliens, is getting very good reviews. https://readersfavorite.com/book-review/flashing-dark
Surrendering to the Inevitable… Saura was plastered to the view port, staring into an area of space that appeared to be empty of stars. Her ears were forward, almost quivering, and her eyes held a distant look. “Do you want to do this?” Deep diving the vasty, guiding a ship through space without maps of […]
Chapter 1 Contact You wouldn’t think a one-and-a-half meter tall Tabisee would pack enough punch to make an adult Human stumble backward, but Saura does. Don’t get too impressed: Human spacers are such lightweights that a mild shove from a grav-dweller will send us staggering. Part of the reason for that is we don’t resist. […]
Spacertown Every planet, station, platform, or flotsam island in EA space has a Spacertown. That’s all they’re ever called. The management wants to ensure that when we skinny, gravity-sensitive, hairless—from the depilatories we use to keep our hair from clogging our ship filters—Human misfits vent from our ships, we can find the place as quickly […]
I was a bit taller than the average spacer, a result of my planetside origin. I had not been destined for the deep dark, but life has a way of reaching down and taking what it wants, then destroying any pathway back. Sometimes it gives a few kindnesses, like a Space Fleet Admiral and his […]
On Naming Worlds… Let’s face it, the settling of worlds is a serious business. Colonists have to be a sturdy, determined lot. There’s not a lot to laugh at when you’re meeting the unexpected and unpredictable. It could kill you. Oh sure, all the planets are checked out by the Colonization Bureau, but they can’t […]
From Silver and Chaos Tuvarsh shrugged. What a bunch of overdressed, overindulged southerners thought about him was the least of his concerns. “They required a courier. I was coming this way,” he said. Actually, that second part was not quite true. But when a Mage of Chaos–especially one whose runetapes were clearly ten levels above […]
Before the Whooex Union we had happily blundered into other alliances’ star systems all the time; but, since we were Stone Age technology compared to theirs, it hadn’t really mattered. We had an open field out toward the Crab Nebula, so we weren’t trying to move into anyone’s space. Once we joined the Whooex, the […]
