What a manic day it’s been. The ship’s cat has had dental surgery and is now very unhappily wearing the cone of shame, and I had to try to arrange a China visa for the cabin boy, which apparently requires a bazillion documents.
What a pleasure it is after a long, crazy day, to write to you and tell you all the good news. Firstly, I announced the Christmas holiday competition winners over on our Facebook group. They are: Tony Tkach, Kimberly Grube, Dhar Mirth, Ggprof Ny and Cheryl Martin. Big congrats to you all, and many thanks to everyone who entered. More competitions are on the way.
My second piece of good news is that space colonisation series Building New Canaan book 3, Troy, went live last week. If you live in the US or the UK you can pick up a copy for 99 cents, and book 1, Carthage, is currently 99 cents everywhere.
Thirdly, a big thank you for all your favourite science fiction books of 2018. I put them all in a blog post, so you can see what other Starship JJ Green shipmates have been reading.
Carthage
Carthage, Building New Canaan book 1
An enemy thought long dead waits in the shadows.
It’s taken nearly two centuries to reach the New Canaan System. Four beautiful, pristine new worlds await the colonists, but there’s trouble in paradise.
Upon arrival, Governor Richards gives Erin a special mission: to build secret shipyards in the outer system, hidden within moons and safe from prying eyes.
Yet while Erin makes good progress in space, construction efforts on the planet of Carthage falter, causing the governor to call her down to the colony world to get things back on track.
To speed things up, Erin uses the colony’s most valuable tool: their picotech. But a sinister agent attempts to steal a picotech module, and the colonists realize their past troubles have returned to haunt them.
Now she’s in a race to identify the perpetrator and keep New Canaan’s picotech out of the hands of the colonists’ enemies, who would use it to destroy them.

Troy
Troy, Building New Canaan book 3
“How come all the assholes ended up on Troy?”
Erin’s long years of work building secret shipyards at the outer system are finally over, but preparations for the anticipated attack on New Canaan continue.
Her next project is Messene, Troy’s vast, new space station, which will play a key role in the planet’s defense. But Erin finds that Trojans have a huge chip on their shoulders, and an old enemy lurks among them.
She doesn’t know it yet, but everything Erin holds dear is under threat. How much is she prepared to sacrifice to protect the people she loves?
