Sci Fi with a Sound Track
Singer Selena M rescues a very non-human alien from a crashed spaceship and nurses it back to health. She is surprised to discover that it communicates through song, and they help each other rekindle their passion for singing. But the government wants that spaceship and comes to take it from Selena.
I explore connections between very different alien races. Their friendship-and fights-help them understand their worlds-and themselves-better.
How did this young alien escape her home world and make a taboo trip to a world like Earth? What was she running from? How long before the Elders would come after her?
And if Selena is recommitted to her music, how can she respond to the pull of an adventure in space?
You'll find no shoot 'em up space battles or all-powerful alien monsters. But if you like David Brin's Uplift series, where diverse beings have to get along, you'll love my stories. Light-hearted, wry humor, real characters, and I make my impossibilities plausible.
Plus, there's music, sung by Selena and the alien. You can listen to the songs Selena performs galaxytalltales.com, Sci-Fi Music.
Sci fi with a sound track!
This is Book 1 of the Agate and Breadbox trilogy. My Spaceship Calls Out to Me and Space Girl Yearning continue Selena's adventures. And more music!
