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.
Spies are everywhere. Or are they? How do we know? Presumably many of them are competent, which means we never know about them.
In this scenario, mechanical spies on a planet lightyears of space from Earth are set to cause trouble. Someone will find out what the trouble is, whether it be an Earth scientist banned from spaceship Chiron, or his colleague cloned from a famous historical musician back home. Or is it set to capture what rival planet-dwellers are up to?
Enjoy this tiny excerpt from the trilogy finale that opens a universe of further adventures.

Book Excerpt
Shoot for Earth: MedSci Missions 3
Along a natural trail deep in the jungle, was something not so natural. Hidden in a fruit pod was a small camera continually sending feed. Not twenty meters further along, there was another one, of an entirely different make, with its spying lens poking through a hole in a large leaf. Mostly, the devices recorded hours of nothing. Sometimes, a wild creature wandered by, or occasionally a dramatic food spat was caught. Very rarely, though . . . . something very interesting to someone was captured.
