I've signed up for NaNoWriMo this year in the hopes that it will motivate me to finish my next book. I've gotten a decent start on it already (hopefully this is not considered cheating!). This next book is of a more "adult" nature than The Counterfeit Princess, but has a similar silly tone. Enjoy the synopsis below.
A humorous and loving homage to crappy 1950s sci-fi, "Spaceflight to Venus" takes place in the amazing year 1980 when America has colonized the moon. It is the story of Dr. Steve Johnson, captain of his engineering marvel, the X-10 rocket. He is accompanied by Professor Janet Lawton, ship's maid and waitress, and Commander Taylor, the African-American navigator whom Johnson resents for his non-Caucasian appearance. Johnson harbors a rather shameful secret that he hopes to conceal from his crewmembers during the course of their.... SPACEFLIGHT TO VENUS!
