a sneak peak of Day 115 on an Alien World
The writing and editing is done, my first novel almost ready to share! Right now, I hope to be publishing in October. It's a stand alone story, but will be the first of a series about a new colony on a far off planet I'm calling Settler Chronicles. Here's the description for Day 115 on an Alien World:
This morning Gary Holbrook watched his wife die. When he signed up for a brand-new colony on a desolate planet, there was a catch – the mission was for married couples only. Without a suitable spouse, he reluctantly married a woman he’d never met: Margo Murphy, a grubby entomologist who liked butterflies. Starting with a crash landing upon arrival, everything had gone wrong. Accident after accident had robbed them of colonists, and their desperately needed skills, while damaged and broken equipment had stalled their efforts to make a viable colony. It just seemed bad luck. But then Gary reads Margo’s journal, and the circumstances surrounding the accidents and her death become suspect. Now, in a race against time, he must unmask a saboteur. The first communications window with Earth – their only chance to ask for help – is fast approaching, and someone needs to be alive to make that call.
