Hey, I’m in this one!

Here’s the 4th Duskbound anthology to have my story in it! The story I wrote is called The Starlady of Taleros, an idea that grew out reading Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. After reading the end, I came up with all sorts of scenarios for an epilogue - and then, the idea mutated as I rewrote. And really, what is originality if not remolding someone else’s idea until it feels like your own?
At the time I wrote it, I needed a break from William Flynn and my other imaginary friends in Far Flung. So, unlike my story in a previous anthology, Starlady has no connection to my debut novel. I’m glad that I can show readers a different sci-fi world, with two female main characters who were fun as heck to write.
Perhaps the wholesomeness my readers saw in Far Flung is also on display in Starlady. I can thank the influence of Star Trek for the ‘wholesome’ factor - ever notice how many problems in Trek are solved without violence?
Anyway, give Sacrifice a read and then let me know what you think. Be sure to reach out to Duskbound Books and the other authors who shared in this adventure, too!
