First!

The first post must, of course, be dedicated to shamelessly plugging my novel.  It is the reason I've launched the Facebook page, website, and blog after all.

So what's it about?  Read on, but please remember that I'm writing novels and condensing them into jacket cover blurbs is an art I will never master.

Red Sky at Morning is a science fiction novel which takes place in the mid 26th century.  Mars has been colonized for about 100 years, but space colonization did not spread out as expected from there.  Instead of being a springboard to the rest of the solar system, Mars has become little more than a tourist attraction.

For Simon Owen it would have always remained little more than an annoyance on television or the billboards he passed on his way to work, but one phone call changes everything.  He will be charged with destroying an entire mining settlement on Mars and shown images of himself enacting the crime, all under the narration of his own voice on the other side of the call.  It will throw his entire life off balance and he will struggle to regain control of it as he travels to Mars to unravel how he could be implicated in such a heinous act.  He'll have to hurry, for he is followed closely by Detective Jake DeVitt, an officer from Earth working as liaison with the Mars Planetary Security Force.


Let me know if I've interested anyone (or even if I haven't - but please be kind).
