A Grand New Age of Boom or Dust?

Wednesday, March 6, 2013


Please help me welcome M Pax who's here with 
Boomtown Craze, Book 3 in the Backworlds series.

In the far future, humanity settles the stars, bioengineering its descendents to survive in a harsh universe.

To secure his future, Craze must propel his world into a more prosperous era. Only days away from the grand opening of his new and improved tavern, he is confronted by a loony Backworlder intent on mucking up his plans. Gaunt and trembling, she claims her spaceship is possessed. She also has a connection to the underworld that shakes loose the dark past of one of Craze’s closest friends. It all threatens to end Craze’s prosperity before it begins.

Meanwhile off world, Captain Talos works desperately to outwit the mercenary Jixes and lure them away from his and Craze’s budding prospects. The mind-control weapon Talos uses against them is wearing thin, and his next move may be his last.

Will Craze and Talos’s efforts bring about a grand new age of boom or damn them to forever struggle in the dust?

The Fascinating World of Space Opera

Tuesday, June 5, 2012



 Today, I'm pleased to be hosting MPax, who made me sit up and pay attention to Space Opera. Having piqued my interest, she's here today to shed some more light on what this sub-genre is all about.

Thank you to Joy for hosting me today on her lovely blog and letting me talk to all of you. She asked me write about what space opera is. I bet you’ve seen it. If not, you’ve heard of it.

Space opera is a sub genre of Science fiction, which takes place wholly or partially in space. It’s the most popular form of sci-fi in the US.

Is that why I write it? No. One of the most influential moments of my life was watching Apollo 11 land on the Moon. I was barely six, but I understood how incredible a feat it was. It captured my imagination and filled me with awe and wonder. Not many moments have made me feel that way, so it stuck with me.
