Two novels submitted


Hello everyone and my one follower. I've submitted my SF novel, The Higher Mission to Whimsical Publications. That story features Joe Cramer, a widower in his fifties, and Mona Watson, a woman in her twenties who is a space explorer herself. They join forces in missions in our solar system. Cramer's top priority is to provide medical care and eventual cure for his ill daughter, Cindy. This is a mixture of adventure and romance. The Higher Mission could be interpreted either as Cramer finally getting the money to pay for the expensive cure his ill daughter, or Cramer being shanghaied for a trip to Sirius, a star 8.6 light years distant. There is no faster than light speed in this novel.

My other novel has been submitted to Romance at Hearts Publishing, a new online and print book publisher. A Change of Heart is about Leroy and Jody, my characters from my most popular short story Lab Partners only casting them in modern times. It is strictly romance, the sweet variety. Leroy and Jody meet in college and the story goes six years to a nice conclusion.

Please keep me in your thoughts as I wait for news.

I must thank my Sweetest Romance Authors for giving me a plug on my mini sequel of The Higher Mission. Janet at Whimsical was at that chat.
