What a brilliant start to the year it’s been aboard the starship. The Valiant, book one in my new space fantasy series, Star Legend, made number one new release in the Metaphysical Fiction, Metaphysical Science Fiction, and Space Fleet Science Fiction categories on Amazon! And it’s all down to the shipmates. If you downloaded a copy, thank you so much. If you haven’t met this series yet, you can read a snippet here.
(If you aren’t an Amazon shopper, please be assured the Star Legend series will leave Kindle Unlimited and become available at other bookstores, AND the next books in Space Colony One are going up soon at all online booksellers, not only Amazon.)
I hope your start to the new year has been equally fantastic. Here in Cambridge we actually saw the sun. If you don’t believe me, check out the pic of Magog Down at the bottom of the bulletin.
The reader competition results are in! We saw some cool seasonal photos, read some hilarious jokes, and were reminded of the great starships of science fiction. Congratulations to all the winners.

They want a fight? She’ll give it to them.
Katie Hyer was minding her own business, hauling ore for Cobalt Mining, when a mysterious ship appears suddenly out of the black, nearly sideswiping her. It soon becomes clear that same ship is inbound for the mining platform she calls home.
When the secessionists on board take Sierra Twelve hostage, Katie will go to any lengths to free her friends and family—even if it means waging her own personal war of attrition.
And when Katie goes to war…people die.

Most of the audiobook of The Valiant has been recorded. I am just tidying up some bits and pieces, and then I’ll proof listen before uploading the book to all the many audiobook vendors. As a special thank you to Patreon supporters, I’ll be sending them a link to a free copy. (You can listen to my Welsh accent, lol – just when Taylan Ellis states place names!)
The Fearless, book two in my new space fantasy series, is up for preorder, and Patreon supporters should receive their copy about a month earlier.
Next week, the shipmates’ favourite science fiction books of 2020. If you would like to nominate a book (other than mine, of course) please let me know by replying to this email.
Enjoy your books, stay sane, safe and happy!
