Before I started writing regularly every week, I’d envisioned myself creating fantasy and science fiction. But when I actually sat down at my keyboard three mornings a week (and then five days a week), the stories all seemed to be fantasy.
I was surprised, but okay with it. As long as I was telling stories, I was happy.
Then, 7 years into my writing journey, a science fiction tale collared my muse, and I wrote what would eventually become “Read-Only Ash.” As of this week, “Read-Only Ash” is available for your reading pleasure in both ebook and paperback editions. 😀
Check it out!
When utter defeat confounds you, where might victory hide?
Uzuri, a new-minted astronomer on her first posting, can’t wait to observe the stars from deep space. But when she awakens unable to form or hold new memories, probing the mysteries of the universe must surrender to unravelling the mystery of her own loss.
She finds the space station entirely deserted and all its floors coated by a black, gritty ash. Alone and without recourse, Uzuri hunts answers.
When she learns the truth of what happened, she must abandon the comforting path of retreat to face disaster, no matter the agony, or suffer her soul’s death.
“Read-Only Ash” is a science fiction tale of valor in extremity. If you enjoy heroic last stands, grab-by-the-throat intensity, and ultimate peril, you’ll love this ringing-the-changes-on-catastrophe story.
Peruse “Read-Only Ash” to wring hope from despair today!
