Hey guys–some news about Sons of the Starfarers, my next big series. While I’m working on Book II: Comrades in Hope, I’m also getting Book I: Brothers in Exile ready for publication. If all goes well, I’ll be publishing it in May, with books 2 and 3 coming shortly thereafter.
Today, I put together a teaser / book description. Here it is:
TO WAKE A FROZEN GIRL FROM THE ICE, TWO BROTHERS MUST UNITE TO FACE AN EMPIRE.
Deep in the Far Outworlds, a derelict space station holds the bones of a long-dead people—and a beautiful young woman locked in cryofreeze. When the star-wandering brothers Isaac and Aaron find the sleeping girl, they soon realize that they are her only hope for rescue. If they don’t take her, then slavers certainly will.
With no way to revive her, they set a course for the New Pleiades in the hopes that someone in the star cluster can help. But a storm is brewing over that region of space. After a series of brutal civil wars, the Gaian Empire has turned its sights outward. A frontier war is on the verge of breaking out, and the brothers are about to be caught in the middle of it.
They both harbor a secret, though. Somewhere else in the Outworlds is another derelict station—one that they used to call home. That secret will either bind them together or draw them apart in
SONS OF THE STARFARERS BOOK I: BROTHERS IN EXILE.
What do you guys think? I’m not so sure about the opening hook–that’s probably going to get tweaked. What about the rest of it?
In other news, LTUE is in two days. I am excited! I’ll be on five panels this year: Being a Foreign Speaker, Planet Building, Writing Romance, Epublishing Short Stories, and Starting the Next Project. If you’re going, be sure to drop in on one of my panels or catch me out on the main floor. I’ll be there all day Thursday, Friday, and Saturday (and maybe in the evening for some filk as well)!
That’s all for now. Take care, and I hope to see you at LTUE!
I really like the teaser. You write so much, it’s hard to keep track if what all of the stories are about, and I didn’t remember this plot at all. It sounds really cool.
Thanks! That’s definitely what I’m shooting for, so it’s good to hear!
