The Odyssey of the Seven #1
Alone: Seven Teens Thrust into Space - Their Families Dead!
Seven teens thrust into space. Their families – Dead!
Kaori Hetherington didn’t ask for her father to transfer to yet another spaceship, but at least the Victoria had other teens, a proper school, and a small university. She and the other six teens with her never expected to be launched from her new home into a deserted stretch of space.
Now they had a choice: stay in their galaxy and hope to find a suitable planet to wait out rescue, or risk the unknown—passage through a wormhole into another universe. The problem was at the edges of the Milky Way no suitable planets existed and rescue was impossible. Their habitation pod, lacking suitable shielding from space debris, wouldn't survive a journey through the Barrens. What would the teens decide: the unknown or almost certain death?

November 12, 2022This series started after a conversation with my teenagers. Their father attempted to have a say, but he didn't get many words in! A conversation and the idea of writing a novella turned into a series.
The concept - what would happen when a group of teenagers lost everything they knew? Everything-family, clothes, access to their home, how would they survive if they were in a completely alien environment? Thus the idea of "The Odyssey of the Seven" was born.
When I write, my characters tell the story so when my seven teens, Petey, Clara, Tiff, Stephanie, Louie, Samson, and Kay were thrown into this inconceivable situation, I had no idea what would happen.
I knew who Petey would be, I knew his backstory, I knew how he'd react in any situation. Likewise Louie and Tiff, I've taught too many students like these in my time, and my heart bleeds. I was glad my characters didn't let their backgrounds define them.
I hope you enjoy the story as much as I did.
