Thank you for your question. I love to add elements of real life to whatever world I'm creating, yet turn reality upside down with something crazy and not of our time or world. In Dawn Among the Stars that element is the coming of aliens. It was fun to create a culture that represented the change I want to see in our world–– today in 2018. I hope the social justice warrior in me is proudly on display in the Starless Series and beyond!(less)

Thank you for your question! It's actually a funny, yet weird story. I kept having this reacquiring dream about aliens on some far away planet for almost 2 weeks before I realized I needed to write it down. It grew over the years as I grew, but it always played out in my mind's eye. When I was in graduate school at Mercer University, I needed to find something that wasn't therapy related for some self-care. I jumped at the chance to finish the story that plagued me for ages. So here it is: my dream realized in living color, so to speak. I hope you enjoy!(less)

Dawn Among the Stars is a series! The Starless Series is expected to be 4 books with opportunities to grow in different directions and perhaps, story lines. Trifecta Publishing hasn't released a date for when the follow up, Fading Starlight, will be released but I'm sure it'll be early next year. Thank you so much! Enjoy! (less)
