Canoples Investigations Adventures in Space 1

Good morning and welcome to Sunday Blog Share. This month, we’re focusing on science fiction books. There will be a lot of visitors making an appearance but on Sundays and Tuesdays, this blog will be all about my teen science fiction series—Canoples Investigations!
This series began as an idea in 2001, in the horror filled days after the attacks on September 11. My youngest child was in kindergarten at the time. He came home from school that day, asking why did bad people want to hurt us. I couldn’t answer him for several days, because I didn’t know what to say, but after thinking over the events of that day, an idea formed. Four teens facing trouble in space… BD, Cassie, Carl, and Terry were born. As far as responding to my child about his question, all I told him was that sometimes bad people hurt the rest of the world, but there are always good people to stop them.

Blurb
The adventure begins on an impossibly ordinary day. BD Bradford, intrepid head of Canoples Investigations, has nothing more than fun on his mind. Too bad for him and his crew, Canoples Station has a way of never staying calm for long. Soon, however he and his compatriots—Carl and Cassie Wills, Terry Ashley and occasionally Mick Anglin and Jack Simpson deal with all sorts adventures.
Whether it be tracking down space pirates, tangling with demented cloned animals, setting the record straight about their intentions, unmasking a man stealing children to perform in a circus, or discovering new friends, Canoples Investigations always dives into action without thinking about the consequences.
Life in the galaxy is anything but boring. And all BD wants to do is sit down and wolf down a Gut Buster pizza with his pals.




Excerpt
The bell pings eight times in succession. I am away from my learning center and out the door in an instant. Today, my dad promised to take me with him on a very important mission. We’re going to hunt for space pirates. Now that I’m eleven, he says I’m ready for some real adventures.
“Yo, BD!” Carl Wills, one of my best buds, yells. “Wait up. Where are you going?”
I stop and bounce from foot to foot. Dad made me promise that I wouldn’t breathe a word to anyone about our mission today. Still, I’m pretty sure he didn’t mean Carl, his twin, Cassie, and Terry Ashley. The four of us have always done stuff together. We’re the well known No Sock Brigade, always sticking our noses into situations no one wants us to know about, and we never wear socks. It’s kind of a trademark thing. We’re going to be galaxy-famous private space investigators when we’re older and anyone who is famous needs a trademark. Right?
“I’m not supposed to tell.” I glance at the other students heading toward the lifts.
Every day, it’s always the same routine for every student under the age of seventeen. We get to classes at seven bells—that’s seven o’clock in the morning for those of you who don’t talk space station—and are out by fourteen bells, or two in the afternoon. Everyone heads on up to the promenade to have a bunch of fun before we go home around seventeen bells, or five in the afternoon.
I kind of wish I could go up to the promenade with my buds. It’ll be boring waiting on Dad to finish reports so he’s ready to go hunting space pirates.
