My new science fiction novella, After the Syzygy, is now available on Kindle, paperback, and Kindle Unlimited. This novella tells a 350-year story over six short stories. If you want a unique vision of the future, as well as a new perspective on how first contact and AI could impact humanity, you'll love this one!
