We've been researching and planning three trilogies since 2000 and continue to tweak and refine as we go. The series was inspired by the NASA photograph of the Face on Mars. We challenged ourselves to explain how aliens could be present on a dead world. Our fans seem to approve of our solution ;)

I was born to be a writer. I've been writing short works for years as a hobby, but now I want to be the Jules Verne of my generation.

Don't quit your day job, protect your rights, and hire an editor. Also, install screen reader if your computer doesn't come with one and listen to what you've written. You'll be surprised at the errors you find and how this practice will help you to maintain a consistent voice.

The best thing about being indie authors is not having a publisher trying to control what we write. We have to actively earn each sale, borrow, and new fan, which is helping us to find readers that truly like our combined voice.
We've both been employed as technical writers since 2004 and so although we're indies we are not amateurs. One reviewer wrote that OC is the best written indie they've ever read, which we loved hearing, but it also illustrates the preconception that indie works aren't as polished as those from traditional publishing houses. We have a small army that helps us with the final edits just like the big boys LOL.
OC is going to be on sale again for .99 from 6/13 - 6/20 and we're hoping that the GoodReads community will rally around this deserving debut work. We'd love to be able to afford to quit our day jobs and write full-time, but honestly that'll depend entirely on book sales.

I've never suffered from writer's block. If I could I'd live at the keyboard typing. My biggest challenge is finding the time and energy to write at night after working a full-time job.
