As their own stories unfold, they become convinced the sender of the message knows not only the secret but a vital clue that will save the Earth from genocide and a future of tyranny.

I am a former professional singer and actor who only realised I was ageing when I was offered the part of the ancient, grey-haired Granny in a stage production of The Addams Family. I decided then I had matured enough (physically and mentally) to give away theatre and turn to my other passion; writing, specifically, science fiction and even more specifically, time travel and space opera.
When my mind is not scouring the galaxy for new stories, my trust chihuahua sidekick Oggie by my side, I can be found in Australia with sand between my toes, collecting teapots and nerding out over everything Star Wars.
I have read all of Scotney's books and I continue to be amazed by her creativity and skill as a writer (I have now added her to my pre-order list). There are so many books out there now and she stands out as one of the few who can continually to produce stories that hook you in. Myth of Origin will take you on a journey of adventure with an interesting premise and intelligent characters. Yes - intelligent characters! I loved every moment of this latest story. I highly recommend it.
