New Release, Reviews Coming In: Science Fiction Fantasy on a Strange Planet

After months of work, tapping away at my computer with only an old dog and a sleepy cat for company, my new science fiction adventure is published. I’ve been holding my breath, waiting for that first review… UPDATE: now I’ve got four. This really helps other readers know if my book is for them. Thanks!

A journey to a new world. An unexpected indigenous culture. Two reluctant leaders struggling to save their people.

Yee ha! Thanks, Cany58, Kris, June, and Alethea. And more thanks to everyone reading the book on Kindle Unlimited or who bought your own copy. If you haven’t gotten yours yet, join my happy dance and click here now.

In my story, you’ll find a science fiction colony sharing a planet with a primitive alien culture.

Read the story in Kindle Unlimited, or buy Kindle, paperback, or hard copy editions.

Here’s wishing you your own happy dance for the day.

Terraforming Mars – Fusion Generated Plasma? #Mars #Colony #scifibooks

Mars is cold and practically airless. Even if we discover a way to add atmosphere, with no protective magnetic field, gases will be stripped away as we watch. And cosmic and solar radiation will continue to fry the surface.

Unless

Sometimes, actual science beats science fiction. Researchers have now come up with an even better way that we might be able to make Mars habitable… Once the generator landed on Phobos, it would subject surface material to extreme heat until it morphed into a gaseous state or at least vaporized. An electrical current would then be zapped through that gas or vapor to ionize it… With every orbit around Mars, the ring would be reinforced with more plasma until it built up a powerful enough current that would be similar to the magnetic field which surrounds Earth. SyFy

Fusion reactors would be needed to generate enough power, but fusion is only 20 years away, isn’t it? (Hasn’t it been 20 years away for generations? Well, bound to be true someday.)

In my science fiction series, the colony ultimately arrives at a terraformed Mars in a very different way. Check out the final book in the series to find out how.

Don’t worry about starting at the end. Each book covers a different generation with a different hero , each on their own journey through danger on the deadly Red Planet. Or, do yourself a favor and buy all five stories in a value-priced box set.

What Happens When a Cult Colonizes Titan? Nothing Good #scifibooks

As a confirmed introvert, I’ve been practicing for the coronavirus all my life, even if I do miss hanging out in my favorite coffee houses. But I have gotten a lot of writing done this year. The conclusion to my trilogy of a cult colonizing Saturn’s moon, Titan is planned for release in August, but you can snag an early review copy now.

Fynn thinks he escaped his family’s cult until he’s kidnapped to Titan. Kin should be his greatest ally, but instead they’re his greatest threat, as Fynn and his sister clash over the colony’s survival.
