What Happened in Vegas
The ship's captain is tired but happy after a long weekend at the 20Booksto50K writers' conference in Las Vegas. I had an amazing time and the 30+ hours spent flying there and back were well worth it. Though I was fogged with jetlag most of the time, I loved meeting...
Saturday Snippet: Carrie Hatchett, Space Adventurer Book 5 Part I
Just a short snippet this week. I'm at a writers' conference in Las Vegas! Yes, Las Vegas. Who would've thunk it? Anyway, here's a snippet from the first chapter of the fifth book in my comic sci-fi Carrie Hatchett, Space Adventurer series. The book's so new, I don't...
No tricks, but a few treats!
Happy Halloween! I'm going to keep it short this week because I'm busy getting ready to fly to Vegas. That seems so weird to write. Of all the places in the U.S. to visit Las Vegas was never high on my list. I'm more of a national parks gal. But many indie writers are...
Thank you!
Some nasty viruses seem to be circulating the globe at the moment, and last week one of them even made it aboard Starship JJ Green. The captain was sick as a dog, but her shipmates made her days brighter. Seriously, I was overwhelmed with the response to my request...

What Do You Think of Today’s Sci-Fi?
I've been overdosing on science fiction this week. As well as watching the new Star Trek series and Channel 4's adaptations of Phillip K. Dick's stories, Electric Dreams, I went to see Blade Runner 2049. I thought it was amazing - a little slow in parts, I admit -...
Saturday Snippet: A Very Carrie Christmas
Do you hate it when shops put out their Christmas decorations too early? From what I hear, this isn't such a problem in the United States because Thanksgiving is one month earlier, then the tinsel and baubles go up afterward. But in other English-speaking countries,...
Reader Poll Results & Carrying On
I usually steer clear of current affairs in the Starship JJ Green bulletins - we're here to escape from earthly concerns for a little while, right? But this week's news about Las Vegas struck home because I'm going there for a writers' conference next month. I was...
Saturday Snippet: Space Colony One Part V
It's time to say goodbye to Space Colony One with one final snippet. I haven't completed the novel yet but to keep to my schedule I need to set it aside for now. Next week, I begin work on A Very Carrie Christmas, my second standalone novella starring transgalactic...

Last week I was excited to tell you my news that my story, Star Mage Exile, had been accepted into Chris Fox's forthcoming anthology. This week, I'm excited to tell you about two great limited time book offers that I think you'll love. Before we get on to the books,...
