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.
Stranded on an alien planet by Earth’s Ambassador, Dr. Scott D’Amour landed in deep trouble with the locals. His new alien girlfriend would love to carry out a search for her missing boyfriend, but as a scientist who doesn’t dare explain the circumstances to solicit help, she’s been in a holding pattern. Earth’s spaceship Chiron has had its own troubles, but has arrived back at planet Fabar ready to forgive Scott and once again make use of his awesome mind. That turns out to be more difficult that they expected, however, as he’s missing in action!
Enjoy this tiny excerpt from the trilogy finale that opens a universe of further adventures.

Book Excerpt
Shoot for Earth: MedSci Missions 3
Woon, flanked by alpha three and four, found Savna in her lab as expected. What wasn’t expected, was the ‘Search Pod Deluxe’ on her large screen instead of biochemical equations. “You’re looking for Scott,” Woon said. It was a statement, not a question. “Yes,” she said. “We’re looking, too,” Woon said. “Do you mind if I have a look at that rescue pod?” “You may,” she said, continuing to study it. “Nice machine,” Woon said after a few minutes. “I don’t think you need it, though, if you want to come with us on our search. We have almost all the equipment it does, and a few things it doesn’t.” It didn’t take long for Savna to blank her screen and turn around on her net. She pulled her tail out of a hole and slipped it into a new one so smoothly it was hardly noticeable. “I would be grateful to join up with you in the search,” she said. “I’ve been putting off going because flying around alone figuring out how to search was a bit overwhelming. I’m a scientist.”
