Y'all, I re-released the CROWNS PEAK series with new, pretty covers... If you've bought them once, please don't buy them again (unless you really, REALLY love the new covers)!

Award-winning speculative fiction author Barbara Lund has seven indie-published novels, dozens of short stories, and has been traditionally published in Daily Science Fiction and L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future, Volume 37.
She won the Writers of the Future Golden Pen (2021), along with a First Place, three Silver Honorable Mentions, and two Honorable Mentions.
She is always working on new novels and short stories -
Add a husband, two kids, and a martial arts obsession, and she keeps pretty busy.
A salvage team finds an old derelict spaceship whose AI is still running. The ordinary course for the plot of a short story like this would be for something bone-chillingly horrible to happen, but Barbara Lund gives it a sweet, warmhearted turn.
