J.J. Green is a British-Australian science fiction author with a lifelong love of distant landscapes, intriguing cultures and fascinating places. She was born within the sound of the bells of Mary-le-Bow church in Cheapside, London, making her a bona fide Cockney, and she lived in Australia, Laos and Taiwan before returning to the UK to settle down in Cambridge.

Green’s novels weave science-based speculation with richly personal stories. Her works explore themes of environmental degradation, political conflict, mythical resonance, human resilience, and the ethics of technology and expansion. Her characters—often strong women—navigate future worlds grounded in both scientific plausibility and mythic imagination.

Our brains have many ways of tricking us into procrastinating. It's my belief that writer's block is one of them. I don't allow myself the option of experiencing it. I don't wait until inspiration strikes, or I'm in the mood to write. Even if I have no idea what to write, I just start writing. (less)

Hi Brent

Thanks! I'm so glad you enjoyed Starbound. I've released three box sets of the Shadows of the Void series. Unfortunately Amazon's product page setup doesn't allow me to show them alongside the individual books. But you can search for them. They're called The Galathea Chronicles, The Earth Chronicles and The Galactic Chronicles. Put my name into the search bar too.
If you're patient and would like to read the entire series at once, I'll be releasing a 10-book box set later in 2018 on Kobo and via Payhip.
I love Jas' tenacity too. She needs plenty of it during the Shadows of the Void series.(less)

The Story of Space Colony One

I realised I blithely send out ship’s bulletins week after week, assuming you know all about the stories that have  appeared from the starship over the years.

No doubt nothing is further from the truth.

Consequently, over the next few months, I’m going to devote the occasional newsletter to one series and give you some details about the background and premise of the story.

Space Colony One is an epic

“mathematics, reading, family history, leadership, charm, oration, deportment, and other subjects”
J.J. Green, Daughter of Discord

“You feel this warmth, this excitement right in your gut whenever you’re near that person, or even just think about them. And it isn’t a sexual thing, though of course that’s there too. You want to be with the person you love forever because whenever you’re with them you’re happy. And you feel like you would do anything to keep them safe and happy too.”
J.J. Green, Space Colony One #1-3

“She was out of arguments. Kes could be stubborn, and he was in a state where the more she pushed, the more he would resist. Single-mindedness was a useful trait for a scientist, but it didn’t make for harmonious relationships.”
J.J. Green, Space Colony One #1-3
