How long have you been aboard our starship? Did you know we set forth in July 2015? That means in a few short months it will have been four years that I’ve been publishing science fiction!
Hmm, How do you think I should celebrate the coming anniversary?
Today we’re traveling back in time to one of those series from the early days. Have you met Jas Harrington yet? She’s a Martian chief security officer serving aboard a prospecting starship. She’s also a total badass.
Perhaps you already met her when you read your free prequel, Starbound. If you have read the prequel, you’ll understand our heroine better as she tackles the events of her story in my space opera series, Shadows of the Void.
The first book in this series was lucky enough to be featured by Bookbub last week, and so I’m prolonging the promo to tell you about it. Generation is 99 cents for a short while in all bookstores.
Most of the other books in the series are novellas and bundled into the Chronicles boxsets (also below), or you can pick up book 2, Stranded, and later novellas for 99 cents.
Back to writing, and packing to return to the UK, and some more writing, and a bit more packing.
Generation
Generation, Shadows of the Void book 1
Kickass sci-fi heroine versus deadly aliens.
Growing up as a Martian on Earth has left Jas Harrington solitary, quick-tempered, and with zero tolerance for fools. All plus points when working as chief security officer aboard prospecting starships.
Jas’ latest berth is aboard the Galathea, which trawls the reaches of the galaxy seeking precious minerals and rare resources. She thinks it’s a routine trip. She’s wrong.
An inspection of a far-flung planet leaves Jas suspicious that there’s more to the place than meets the eye. If only she could convince the captain of the need for caution, but she might as well wish for a tasty meal in the ship’s canteen.
When the captain disciplines Jas for insubordination, she has only two allies: a timid navigator and the second pilot, who has the hots for her. Not that Jas notices.
All hell breaks loose, and Jas’ skills are put to the ultimate test. Can she enlist the help of the only two friends she has? She’s in a race against time to prevent the aliens from achieving their goal: Generation.
If she fails, the ship’s crew, the galactic empire, and humanity itself are at risk.

Stranded, Shadows of the Void book 2
Stranded
A desolate alien world…
A downed starship…
A deadly invisible menace…
When the prospecting starship, Galathea, crash-landed on a remote planet, the crew thought that help would arrive soon. They were wrong.
The first officer’s in the brig, and a series of deaths have left CSO Jas Harrington where she least expected to be—in command. That’s fine. Ordering people around is her second-best talent.
But she knows krat-all about damaged starship engines. Unless she can whip the third-class engineer into shape, the ship’s going nowhere. And the ship needs it to go somewhere, fast, because alien predators are trying to break in.
When the aliens make their move, only a miracle can prevent Jas and the crew of the Galathea from being stranded forever.
