edit data

Edwin Downward describes himself as a Christian, a Father, a Husband, and a writer of Science Fiction Adventures.

The Downward family lives as far away from his work near the centre of Vancouver BC as a reasonable commute will allow in a small house guarded by a crack squad of Vorpal Bunnies supported by a duo of Karate Kitties.

Synergy of Hopes is his first manuscript crafted for the express purpose of publication.

A short teaser, One's Place, is available for free download from the Published Works page on his website.

Is a manned trip to Mars actually all that dangerous?

I look back to the history I know coming from a western perspective. Columbus faced immense danger when he set sail for India across the Atlantic.

This is the type of story younger me wanted more of. A main character thrust into a situation he never even dreamt of ever happening and how he navigated the twists and turns that confronted him as he came to terms with what his new world looks like.
