Bodies in Motion - Releases September 19th
Tag line: A civil war
tore them apart. Can a cold war bring them back together?
Blurb:
Selena
Caryll lost everything in the war: her ship, her crew, her family. The only
thing keeping her going is the hope that somehow the feuding, ground-bound
settlers and the fuelless space fleet can set aside their differences. But
getting the politically-fractured fleet moving again is more than she can
manage alone. For now, she has to settle for working undercover with the
planetary police force.
When
someone tries to reignite conflict between the planet-siders and the fleet,
there’s only one person who has the rank and ability to help Selena protect the
fleet: Titan Sciarra, Fleet Guardian—the one man she’s tried hardest to avoid
since the war destroyed her life.
In
a world where the stagnant weight of tradition can be as deadly as any knife,
the only way to survive is to keep moving.

Behind The
Title:
Newton’s First Law of Motion states “A body in motion will stay in motion until
acted on by an outside force”. We usually think of this in terms of physics,
physical objects, and friction but it applies to choices and lives too. Often a
person will set their course and stay on it unless acted on by something
external force, even if the destination is catastrophic. For Selena Caryll her
course is a downward spiral, she’s lost everything and has no future to look
forward to. For Titan Sciarra his life was headed for an early death until he
was shot down in the war, the subsequent injuries and his absence from the
battle lines allowed him to change direction.
In
a world where two stagnant cultures are on a collision course with mutual
destruction it will take something extraordinary to change the world. And
what’s more extraordinary than love?

Why did
you write this book?
Many, many years ago when I was trying to take a mental break from the Time and
Shadows series I decided to try writing Harry Potter fanfic. I was fascinated
by the isolation Hermione had at the end of the series, how she’d given up
every aspect of her muggle life to become part of something else. And I
wondered if she’d ever want to go back to MP3 players, smartphones, and
democracy after fighting to live in the hyper-controlled world of the witches.
Needless to say… I don’t appreciate Harry Potter well enough to write good
fanfic in that universe and the idea quickly spun out of control. I kept
thinking of magic in terms of science, implants for wands, crews instead of
Hogwart’s houses.
I
took the threads of the story and started to write NEWTON’S CRADLE, and
realized I’d jumped too far ahead in the story for it to make sense. So, I went
back and tried to figure out where I needed to start. Not with the war, because
wars are boring, but with the fallout of the war. How do you rebuild cultures
and trust and friendship after something as awful as a civil war?
How
do you forgive someone who fought against you because they thought it was the
only way to survive?
BODIES
IN MOTION is the catalyst for change, it’s the pivot point where everyone in
this universe gets a second chance at making the right choice.
