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.
No, I’m not talking about a Billy Joel song. Honestly. In this excerpt, the star microbiologist from spaceship Chiron finds he’s finally fallen in love. In book one, Earth and Beyond, we saw him escaping his boring lover and life to work in the stars helping cure a pandemic on Earth. A pandemic I created before we had the real one. Really.
Enjoy this tiny excerpt from the trilogy finale that opens a universe of further adventures.

Book Excerpt
Shoot for Earth: MedSci Missions 3
Scott D’Amour lay on a mat of stacha plants, smelling the fragrance of pink and red marbled blossoms just above the mossy cushion of foliage. He was starting to think he could happily live here the rest of his life, if Savna would have him as a life partner. A flash of anger crossed through him. Would he have a choice? Would he be banned from the ship forever? His anger eased back. It was true the Ambassador had some cause. As he gently massaged the tail draped over his chest, he sighed inwardly. Another huge problem lay ahead. Savna didn’t know that he was working with a secret Fabarian organisation in his quest to aid Earth. She might well Shun him if she found out, and he wouldn’t blame her. Honesty was a big deal for him, too. A feeling of resolve solidified in him. If his perfect life here was going to be ruined by the truth, he’d rather find out sooner than later.
