I've stepped out of my mystery comfort zone and am writing in another genre. I'm pleased to announce the Tales of Telenia fantasy series, featuring astronaut Amanda Shelton.
Whoa! That is
a departure ... fantasy. Well, I call it a cross between fantasy lite
and space opera ... and I may have it labeled all wrong. All I know is
that one day Amanda stepped forward and demanded I tell her story.
When
a spatial rift causes Amanda Shelton’s space shuttle to crash land on
an unknown planet, she awakens to find herself locked in a cell with a
tutor charged with teaching her an alien language. Crown Prince Paxdon
is determined to scavenge not only her ship, but any technology he can
squeeze from her brain to vanquish his enemies in a neighboring
province. But just who is Amanda’s real adversary; the warriors in the
north or the people of Telenia?

and in the follow-up ...
Life
takes an unexpected turn when Prince Paxdon bans Amanda Shelton from
Telenia’s Summer Palace, but that’s just the first step in an incredible
journey that has her leading the province’s oppressed women into a life
of self-sufficiency. The threat of war remains, and others are watching
her every move as Amanda leaves the safety and security of the rural
north and ventures to the capital city where she faces peril and life
altering decisions. Will her future be a life of luxury or despair?

I wrote these books while on several vacations ... and hope
to have another one written by next winter. (Now, where should I go on
vacation to do that?) It'll be called TREACHERY.
Both books will soon be available for Sony and iTunes.
Like my mysteries and other shorts, these stories are character-driven. I hope you'll take a chance on Amanda.
Thanks!
