Armed with new information, they meet back at their new home base, but soon find their relationship with the planet’s government strained.

Author Biography
My fiction writing brings together years of science studies, work in heath care, and training and assistant teaching as a black belt in karate. After reading stacks of science fiction in my youth, I was inspired by space adventures such as Star Trek and medical thrillers by Dr. Robin Cook. Before publishing Earth and Beyond, I had articles on art and science fiction published in print and on-line magazines and served as editor for a newsletter/magazine for several years. Selling fantasy art and approved paintings and products related to the Canadian Musical Ride prepared me for doing some graphic design for fellow visual artists and for my own novel cover and ads. In my town in New Brunswick, Canada, I run a writing group, am a literacy volunteer at school, and enjoys gardening, creative cooking, yoga, photography, kicking back to good movies and shows, and, of course, my family.

Loving Science Fiction

I didn’t set out to write a romance, but sometimes characters fall for each other, so what can I do? The alien Savna is slated to become a regular, so I will be developing her as a “person,” as in a “bari,” the Fabarian alien equivalent. Enjoy!

Book Excerpt

Shoot for Earth: MedSci Missions 3

Light years away on planet Fabar, Troy’s banned brother Scott was walking his lab mate home.
Savna curled her tail around him and wiggled the tip on his tummy. “So that was a great discovery today in the lab.”
Scott pulled off his mask and grinned. “Sure was. We learned I can kiss you.” He did a quick step to get in front of her so he could turn and face her.
“Kiss?”
“Yes. Since my lip microbes are instantly killed by your first step digestive enzymes, there’s no danger.”
Savna was puzzled. “Sorry, you’ll have to explain what a kiss is.”
“Can I show you?”
His bari friend made a jiggling tail motion the equivalent of “Umm …”
“My lips touch yours in a sensuous manner. It helps us discover how we feel about each other.”
She made a snapping cluck of the tongue. Scott knew that to mean yes, so he moved in, wrapped his arms around her snuggly, and laid it on.
“Wow,” Scott said. “I know how I feel. I sure hope you felt it too.”
“Well, I already knew how I felt. You’re kind of an idiot if you didn’t know before now.”
“Hey, c’mon, I’m a human!”
She clucked a long string. “You’re right, I’m not being fair.”
“Anyway, I’m relieved, but what did you think of the kiss?”
She jiggled her tail. “The part with the lips was very odd. The hug part was awesome.”
“Ok, I”ll take that! And you, if I can!” He gave her another hug.
