This is a hilarious science fiction romantic comedy. It's funny, sweet, and extremely well-paced. There's a little bit of a mystery element to it as well, and for all its zaniness, the plot elements all tie up nicely. Highly recommended.

I had so much fun writing this book, pushing myself in a new direction, and even employing a little different writing style!

It was a Romance finalist in the 2019 Colorado Authors League writing contest and took a 2nd place Evvy Award in the 2020 Colorado Independent Publishers Association writing contest in the category of Romantic Comedy.

"Mars Madness is an enjoyable read. It is fun and unique in a way. I liked the characters, the lite romance, and the sci-fi. I would definitely recommend it to everyone who wants an entertaining, light read with a compelling plot.

I recommend!

I really loved the high-tech, futuristic world that was created! The relationships between the recently divorced couple and the new flames was entertaining and quite relatable at times. My favorite character, though, was Minnie!
