2022 Awards Eligibility
Well hello there.
It turns out that if you publish something in a year, you can be considered for awards and such.
Who knew? Apparently everyone else.
Before I drop the list, I just wanted to thank a few folks first. Without Leah Ning literally reading every word I wrote in this series, I wouldn't have gotten these done at all, let alone on time. Thank you Leah.
Also, thank you to my entire writing group for reading, critiquing, and overall helping me get my head out of my ass. Thanks Rebecca E. Treasure, M. Elizabeth Ticknor, Ari Officer (aka, shitlit king), and Galen Westlake (using his pen name because I can’t recall his real name… and we all call him Galen anyway, lol).
And last, but certainly not least: thank you to Amy Wyant for being there whenever I needed anything. Thank you darling. I couldn’t do any of this without you.
And now, onto the books!
Last Bid for a Dying Earth
A near future cli sci-fi about an Earth that's growing uninhabitable. A space elevator has been built as a Hail Mary effort while FTL development progresses; that's what everyone is told, anyway.
There's an AI controlled workforce in there, too.
Fallen Hunter
Set three hundred after LAST BID, humanity popoulates the galaxy. However, a new threat has appeared in this time.
When an FTL jump goes wrong, a Breach in spacetime opens, revealing a portal to a dead yellow world... and the demon-like creatures beyond.
Focus on the Wind
Set at the same time as FALLEN, this shows a view of the galaxy far away from the fight between Hunters and demons.
Here, ex-Protectorate bomber Ceriat Parker is a terraforming tech who heads out on a milk run...and finds himself sucked into war once again.
The Futility of Intent
The heroes of FALLEN and FOCUS find themselves facing an impossible enemy in a galaxy bereft of FTL. They must pull together to fight an old enemy made new before it destroys them, takes control of FTL, and asserts dominance over the galaxy once again.
