My new story, Alarik, book 4 in my series, Taxyon
Space is moving along
slowly. In the meantime, I’ve switched to snippets from the first book,
Europa. This series stars alien mermen, Warrish, who have been
secretly observing humans from a submarine base in the oceans of Jupiter’s
moon.
Blurb
Dr. Nikki Bell’s plan
to discover intelligent life on Jupiter’s moon hits a rocky start when her
spaceship crashes on the icy surface of Europa. Seconds before she blacks out,
she spies a man’s face in the water beneath the ice. When she wakes on the
submarine Station, nobody believes her story. Convinced the mysterious stranger
saved her life, Nikki searches for him while she explores the ocean and its
alien inhabitants.
Kiron Arqin Ramis chose
exile as a Watcher on a remote outpost to redeem his family’s honor. He never
expected to find an attractive Earther woman close to death. He violates the
prime policy by rescuing her. Despite suffering the penalty, he strives to warn
her about his hostile leaders.
Nikki’s unexpected
meeting with Kiron triggers a chain of disasters in Europa’s perilous oceans.
Can the daredevil scientist and scarred Watcher forge a new alliance despite
their people’s antagonism?
Introduction for
snippet:
While exploring the oceans of Europa, Nikki has escaped from large manta-like
predators by hiding in a coral forest. Peering out of the coral branches, she
spies six “mermen” hunting sea creatures in a clearing.

week’s snippet at
The final line hints at
danger: Swinging around, he brandished a harpoon
with a cruel barbed tip.
Please
excuse my rearranged punctuation to fit 8-10 sentences.
Nikki froze
in alarm; had he spotted her? A second later, he turned away and dove toward
the net. She inched back into the concealment of the coral.
A second
stranger backed toward her hiding place, and halted in front of the coral
branches. A slim waisted man with taut muscles in all the right places, better
built than the majority of men on the station. Harpoon raised, the man swiveled
slowly and stared into the forest, as if he were on sentry duty. His strip of
hair and curled mustache gleamed bright auburn in the dull light. Excitement
sizzled through her; that face was etched in her memory - the man beneath the
ice, her savior. She clapped a hand over her mouth to stifle a gasp.
