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 […]
After a very long gap, I’m back. Like most of us, quarantine slowed me down, but that is not the true reason for my absence. I have been self-publishing a series! The first two books of the Starchild Series, Taking the Stars and Taking Control, are available on Amazon in paperback, and on KDP in […]

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 […]
Humans try to put a face on the snarling maw of darkness that is space. They try to tame it. It’s too big for that. Once you wander away from the safety of the herd, the wolves slink in. Then there is only one law in space; kill or be killed. Learn who your friends […]
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 […]
