Mid-year Report on my Writing and Publishing Progress

 


In the past six months, I published one SciFi novel and ran a Kickstarter campaign for a special edition of my superhero story.

 

NEW BOOK

In March, I published Karrik, Book 6 in Taxyon Space, near-future Sci-Fi adventure and romance.

 


The fates of six people are at stake.

Karrik Kenton Tallis, Third of the Flaming Comets, endures a miserable existence in a hospice on his home planet. Unable to walk or speak more than a single word, he misses his older brothers and is unaware of their sacrifice to ensure his care. He cherishes a faint hope of recovering his health.

Karrik’s life improves when his brothers return to Rishalt with their human companions. Alarik, First of the Triad, is escorting Phoebe Wong with her brother and a mysterious alien object for an audience with Prime Jadel. The middle brother, Baswin, is traveling home with Holly and Rosie Moon. The Moon sisters are enrolled in an experimental program to train human psychics to navigate in hyperspace and relieve Earth’s governments of their onerous reliance on Warrish tripilots. Rosie, a psychic healer, desires to help Karrik despite the conflict with her duty to humanity.

But the water world of Rishalt holds many hazards, both above and beneath the waves. Can the alien treasure help the three brothers to conquer the challenges and unite with their chosen partners? Read the scintillating story of the Flaming Comet brothers to learn the answers.

Bridget Bramble at the Queen's Council - Excerpt for #WeWriWa and #SnippetSunday #fantasy

 


Welcome to Weekend Writing Warriors and Snippet Sunday. Sample the work of a new author. Read snippets of stories in different genres.

After a break of several weeks, I’m returning with excerpts from my WIP. I’ve been busy in the intervening time. My husband and I spent a week in Florida and then visited Oxford, MS, to display his photographs and my digital art at the Double Decker Arts Festival. Now, I’m running a Kickstarter campaign.

Writing the next book is moving slowly. It’s the sequel to my fantasy adventure and romance Bridget Bramble and the Wandering Elf. The tentative title is Bridget Bramble and the Dragon Ship.

Here are the opening lines (unedited and may change). It’s a spoiler for the earlier book, but not unexpected.

I’d appreciate your comments.  

On the day they exchanged their marriage vows, Bridget Bramble and Vancele Windswift were summoned to the elf Queen’s council of war.

A horn blared.

Its deep notes vibrated through the canvas walls of the Stitchery where Bridget Bramble was carving an acorn on a charmed button of red oak.

Rattled by the strident sound, she dropped her carving chisel on the table and looked at her new husband, Vancele Windswift. A few minutes earlier, the elf had entered the Stitchery and straddled the other end of her bench to watch her create the buttons.

The sight of his handsome visage and the smile warming his cool gray eyes swept a thrill of delight through her. He loved her. His calm demeanor reassured her. The raucous blare had not alarmed him.

He answered her unspoken question, “’Tis the summons to the Queen’s Council.”

Look out for more next week. I hope to get back into the routine of posting snippets.

Valentine's Special Stories #scifiromance and #superhero

 


Two of my most romantic books are on sale for 99c this month to celebrate Valentine’s Day: The Lady is Blue and Super Starrella.


Intrepid scientist thwarts invasion of scaly aliens. 

Dr. Lucy Stannis leads a quiet life as the chief biologist in the small human colony on the remote planet of Eden. She is thrilled to meet the captain of an alien spaceship, the formidable Blue, Sa Kamizan Veedak. The massive, scaled Atrapako are confident in their superiority over puny, emotional humans. Their secret schemes threaten to destroy the whole colony as well as her budding friendship with Sa Kamizan. Lucy must employ all her skills to discover the aliens’ vulnerability and save the colony.

99c at all Bookstores: https://www.books2read.com/u/bxqkAk


Teen superhero, Starrella, and her flying horse combat vicious killers in the skies of Atalanta. 

The quiet summer before her freshman year turns frighteningly weird after Estelle Wright trespasses onto an Army base. Blown into the air and knocked unconscious, she wakes with a nascent superpower. Not to mention a winged horse with a snarky attitude and a mind of her own.

But a mysterious killer is targeting the students at Goldman University. Before long Estelle must juggle college classes with sneaking out of the house after dark to battle alien monsters. Her life is in danger, but who can she trust: handsome Mark Copper from military intelligence, or hunky Toby, the tough gangster with a motorbike? Both men have secret agendas, but where does she fall in their plans?

Superheroes at college, quirky animal sidekicks, and a dash of romance enliven this thrilling adventure. Book 1 of the Secret Supers.

Their budding romance turns rocky in the second book, Starrella Falls, and revives in the third, Gargoyle Hunt. The first two stories are set in and around a fictious version of Atlanta, Atalanta, and the third story moves to Oxford, UK.
