I sincerely believe that humanity is going to make the jump in the not-so-distant future, and no matter what, people are going to be people, whether they live on Earth or on an inhospitable planet. Some will be driven to create and to improve or adapt to a new world, but there will also be the very human traits of ambition, jealousy and loneliness to overcome.

I'll share little bits of it as it grows on my website and via social media.(less)

For me, if I'm writing, things just... happen... with my characters, and they do things and have adventures, reveal their pasts and secrets. They get into situations that become my problem to get them out of.

However, I do suffer (often) from "writing avoidance," which means I will do anything rather than type letters into my WIP. I find that deadlines help light the fire, though, so I encourage my publisher to breathe down my neck!(less)

Local Newspaper Nails It

After a short phone interview about Ground Control and the “process” I used to write it, I wasn’t sure what to expect. But the author of this piece sees me pretty clearly, I think!

Ground Control by K.A. Hough
"I approached this book with few expectations. I didn't have any context and had not read any of this author's other books. Yet... I came away impressed.

She's a friend of a friend on X (okay, Twitter) so I thought I'd give one of her books a try.
