I'm pleased to announce that the second book in my Rth
Rising series is now out! Rth Rising was my premiere novel.
It's been re-edited and released.
Now Rth Claimed continues the story of
the colony on New Home.
Kat and Davd were able to escape Puter but that doesn't
solve the problem of the potentially terminal code left behind and the
thousands of fellow colonists still at risk.
Rth Claimed is the story of Castra, Kat's aunt, a programmer
and possibly the only hope for the continuation of the colony. But she has
little faith in herself having been shunted aside by Puter – because she wasn't
as good as her father, or because Puter saw her as a potential threat? She and
her protégé, Setha are on the front lines now to continue Kat and Davd's fight.
Blurb
Kat and Davd along with a small handful of family and friends
have managed to escape Puter and now live outside in freedom. But that leaves
thousands trapped inside the arcologies under Puter and the sabotaged
programming whose sole purpose is to condemn the colony.
Can Kat’s Aunt Castra and her young protégé dismantle the
programming that has already killed Kat’s father and grandfather? And is time
running out?
Excerpt
Torr started to speak,
but Roch held up his hand. "We don't have that much time. I might not be
able to tell you everything tonight but I've received permission to bring you
in. I hope I'm not making a mistake."
"Bring us in?
Roch, what are you talking about."
The enforcer took a
deep breath. "It’s a complicated story. Your niece, Kat was assigned to
bring in a shirker who was part of the enforcer team here at Thirdport. His
name is Davd Palfy."
Torr nodded slowly.
That was the name Cal had given him that day at their apartment.
"Davd and I work
for an underground movement to help people escape the arcologies. We, all of us
in the movement, think that we should move out onto the planet. Do you want me
to stop now?"
"No," Torr
and Castra spoke together and for the first time Roch smiled.
"Good. We could
use people like you. First, it is extremely rare for an enforcer to shirk. It's
even more rare that when it happens, an enforcer from a different arcology is
brought in for the search. There had to be some urgency for doing it that way
and I'm not in the loop about that. I'm sure you've heard the story Cal is
floating, that Davd murdered Kat and Head when they caught up with him. Davd
supposedly threw the bodies into the incinerator to get rid of the evidence.
Then Cal was able to overpower Davd and kill him, also tossing his body in the
incinerator. The whole thing is a flaming lie. Cal couldn’t overpower a three
cycle old except in his imagination. Puter put Cal in the job, so that should
explain a lot.
“Davd has worked for
cycles helping to lead people out to live in villages we've seeded around
Thirdport." He stopped at the gasp from Castra, then continued. "Now
Kat is helping in that effort and your mem has become the doctor for one of
those villages."
"They're alive,
they're safe?"
Roch nodded seeing
Castra's relief.
"They won't be
coming back."
Roch looked down then
shook his head. "But someday maybe you can visit them. If enough people
want to leave, we believe they should be allowed. Let anyone who wants to stay
inside… fratz remain

Now that I have retired from going into an office every day, I
created my own at home and write full time. Talk about living the dream!
Since I learned to read I’ve wanted to write. The possibilities
of science fiction have always drawn me and I’ve read them all, there just
needed to be a little more romance in them. I finally got up the courage to
write them myself and I’m delighted that I’m able to share these stories with
you.
My premiere novel, a science fiction romance was released in
March 2012. Since then I've been fortunate enough to release 16 more works,
including my first self-published novel – Alien
Embrace. Please stop by my author page for excerpts
of my books.
