With a Ph.D. in Sensory Science and a minor in Computer Science, I bring a unique blend of scientific expertise and creativity to my 15 published books, with a new one on the way. My hard science fiction, infused with humor, transports readers to the 35th century, where stories like “Rome’s Revolution 3455 AD” explore thrilling adventures and timeless human connections. Dive into my novels to experience a meticulously crafted future where science and imagination collide! If you prefer some science in your science fiction, these books are for you.

Their love for one another truly spans space and time. They were born 1400 years apart and found each other 21 light years from here. They each represent the societies that raised them, complete with the attending strengths and weaknesses but together, they form an unbeatable mix that can fend off threats to themselves, their children and to all of mankind.(less)

I took those and expanded them into a really neat new novel called Forging Rome: The Prequel to Rome's Revolution . Here's the cover:

No problem. All's well that ends well. I'll probably add a little preamble when the comment period opens up. Thanks for thinking of me anyway.

Jared Austin Hi Michael,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you on the friend request and asking me to second your novel for the February indie entries. I planned to do it, but didn't have time over the weekend and then I saw it was selected for February, so congratulations! Look forward to checking it out.

Jared

Vice versa. If you like science fiction, check out my books. A trilogy, a compendium of essays and working on a fifth!


Carole Gill Hi thanks for the add!
