Hi Catherine – thanks for visiting. I’d suggest Glory on Mars – since there’s a second book in the series already available if you like it. 🙂

Glad you like the cover 🙂 I did it myself despite standard advice to hire a professional designer. That’s my own cat – I think him here: https://katerauner.wordpress.com/2015/11/28/first-cat-on-mars/
If you find any problems with the Kindle edition please let me know – I tried to check carefully but stuff happens! I hope you enjoy the story and consider posting a review – doesn’t have to be long 🙂 Thanks for your time.

Awesome that you write science fiction! I do, too, but it has a lot more to do with computers and such than outer-space. I’ve always wanted to write an outer-spacey type book, but I’ve never gotten around to it 😛 Your books sound super cool! I would definitely request a review copy, but my to-review list is quite long…

I understand – so many books, so little time. If you’d like a review copy sometime, let me know. I think computers, artificial intelligence, and such must become part of every story set in the future, but it is a challenge to have those elements be part of the setting, easy to comprehend, without getting off on a tangent explaining what they can and can’t do. Fascinating place, the future…
