The conclusion to a medical crisis on Earth in a trilogy that introduces a new universe of adventures. Specialists from spaceship Chiron are working with alien scientists while furtively aiding a secret science society on the planet. However, that shortcut to solving Earth’s problem could endanger their relationship with planetary officials. Meanwhile, Chiron deals with aliens on nearby planets to gain more information and goodwill as they solve some of the neighbourhood’s problems. Armed with new information, they meet back at their new home base, but soon find their relationship with the planet’s government strained. Desperate to gain back the trust and aid of the innovative aliens, the crew of Chiron find themselves involved in interplanetary conflict as they strive to produce a vaccine to send home to Earth.
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.
Mutations have been happening since time eternal in all animals, including humans. My Human Genetics Professor commented one day that it was amazing any of us were born normal, with all the things that could go wrong from one little slip up in the cellular replication process. So when characters in this sci-fi space series survive an alien infection on Earth with alterations that range from dangerous to disgusting, it’s not surprising these metasapiens want their own place in space.
On the other hand, or maybe in a finger that can strike a flame, some specialist or crew on board spaceship Chiron wake up from surgery to find they have unexpected changes crafted by someone very human. Whether or not those with illegal, designed enhancements will strike out to join the metasapiens remains to be seen in future installments. And will the Mastermind of Enhancements find a place in space to continue creating? How will the humans from Earth tolerate or take advantage of drastic alterations no one intended to receive?
Enjoy this tiny excerpt from the trilogy finale that opens a universe of further adventures.

Book Excerpt
Shoot for Earth: MedSci Missions 3
The privateer would come to the ship to engineer a rescue, if he could. There was no way to know if he’d managed to follow Chiron closely enough to be in the receiving zone. Hopefully one of the massive numbers of messages fired via the poid’s LDcom would find him. The targets were any location in range that could conceivably have a receiver on it. One thing for sure was that sending was successful. The broadcast had pushed the poids into paranoia. That was unfortunate and unintended. These were nice people on board. Some of them were good friends. Too bad they were short-sighted and mis-informed. How could they not embrace using all the technology available to improve humans and keep them healthy? It was horrible how they’d treated the metasapiens who’d been mutated by the Pandora Pandemic instead of killed by it. The metas were lucky to have such unique alterations. Those special people had had the right idea, running from prejudice to find their own place in the galaxy. It didn’t matter if changes were accidental or created in the lab. Perhaps all like-minded enhanced humans could join together to become the new future for humanity.
