Diaspora Worlds and Writing Update

 I had another fun year at the annual Fort Collins Comic Con with the charming and talented author Carol Van Natta. We did a panel on our genre SFR and publishing in general. Met some lovely people!



My three grown daughters came with, which is always fun. They help me with so much stuff! We ate dinner at the Austin Grill with local authors and fans.

After talking to  Carol about my new series, which has an overarching plot, I decided the stopping place of the first book for sure. The entire arc can't be finished in one book, even with the super Starship: The Dauntless Lady.

Also, why didn't I write it more steampunk? Victorian-like socialites take over an ancient starship and refuse to hand it over to the patriarchy? Thinking about this, a lot.

That book release will now be in November-- I had forgotten I planned a trip to visit family in Montana in October.

Diaspora Worlds Series: Book Seven. 

Currently, it is titled Dooley's Cyborg Bride.
Dooley was a secondary character in Alien Blood, Book 2, who had a moment with cyborg 2LN77, who seemed to be aware and sentient for a short time. He was determined to take her away with him, but in the chaos, she left with a group of cyborgs.

2LN77 survives an attack on a mining asteroid. Without her cyborg maintenance drugs, she wakes up and gets into a safe room in the mining plant. There she finds a small girl, her baby brother and an odd dog. 

She is able to broadcast for assistance. Dooley, now a salvager with a sweet small ship, is collecting weapons from this cyborg field of carnage. He recognizes the cyborg 2LN77 designation.

Planning  January-February 2020 release.
