๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š #booksky Welcome to #NovellaNovember!
The Final View came to be when book two was getting too long so I decided I would make it two novellas, thus completing the trilogy.
(oh and there is bonus content...)

Welcome to #NovellaNovember!
The Second View came about because although The View from Here can kind of be read as a stand-alone book, I felt I needed to tell more of the story (and put the characters through a few more trials and tribulations.)

Welcome to #NovellaNovember!
The View from Here started as a short story and evolved into my first full-length book before ending up as a trilogy.

First lines!
Book One: He awoke to the sound of the alarmโ€”although it didnโ€™t quite sound like his alarm. It wasโ€ฆtoo loud and too shrill.
Book Two: He pulled up the covers to tuck in his son, then sat beside the straggly-haired eight-year-old.
Book Three (WIP): Darkness.

Euphrates Vanished by Leon Stevens Reviewed by Andrรฉs da Silveira Stein โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜… It could have easily been called โ€œA love letter to the old Sci-Fi TV Showsโ€. Think Star Trek TOS meets Lost in Space. While the premise is relatively simplโ€ฆ

Let's get excited again! It's time for another round of #SFINC3 reviews!

Sci-fi September: Science Fiction Influences (Part XIV) As a not yet teenager, there were some things that scared the bejesus out of me: Killer bees: Why did I go watch the movie โ€œThe Swarmโ€ by myself? Wait. Why did my parents let me? Bigfooโ€ฆ

Everybody sing along: "It's the end of the world as we know it!"

Sci-fi that is too technical can turn off readers, so I write soft sci-fi. I don't feel it's necessary to go too deep in explaining how tech works. When we watched Star Wars, we didn't ask how all the cool stuff worked, it just did.
