A great read for space buffs, NASA enthusiasts, and SpaceX geeks! The first book sets up a plausible future based on simulations I developed in collaboration with NASA, and are similar to what may conceivably exist within 30-50 years.

Drawing by R. Peter Keith

As a storyteller, I've always enjoyed the freedom of drawing. Putting pen to paper allows me to go to space, even if physically I'm sitting at a desk.

Plot of Book 1

What if you took a multi-year long job in space only to get halfway to your destination and be told to go home without finishing your mission, or even enough fuel to return to Earth? That's what's going on with our protagonist, Cal Scott in Book 1 of Wine Dark Deep. But Cal has a plan to get their fuel —one way or another.

"Wine Dark Deep" Book 1 excerpt

Enjoy this excerpt from Book 1 of my new series, "Wine Dark Deep." You can preorder a copy for the sci-fi lover in your house at this link! --> https://amzn.to/3hT2EnS

“Ulysses needed to use their remaining fuel to make a different burn entirely: extending the ellipse of their orbit so that Jupiter’s gravity would slingshot them home. Without being able to refuel, this was their safest bet—although it was not without risk. Absent constant thrust from the engine, it would be a long, slow trip; it would tax their food and air supply and expose them to the constant radiation environment of deep space. This did not seem like a bargain to Cal: lose the mission and get cancer.”
