I have been hooked on fantasy and science fiction since preschool when I watched Star Trek the Original Series with my family on TV. Then came Star Wars at the theater when I was 5, and a few years later, I discovered the joys of reading fantasy with the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings.
The elements I like most about the genres are the high stakes (save the world, overthrow the empire, etc.), the diversity of characters, and how magic or extraordinary technology allows plots to expand in interesting ways. The ability of fantasy and sci fi to include analysis and criticisms of social conditions like religion and politics is especially fascinating as well. When this is done in conventional fiction, people and readers descend into arguments about whether an opinion is valid or the historical information is accurate instead of assessing the concepts themselves.
Of course, fantasy and sci fi can just be fun as well. I love a good hero or heroine and villains can be the best of all. And there is something therapeutic about picking up a sword or blaster and solving the problems of the world.
My taste in genre has inevitably married itself to my love of writing. For some reason I am a person capable of writing novels. The act of creating thousands of pages of fiction does not overwhelm me. Making it a good work of fiction is the hard part that requires countless hours of editing and rewriting and lots of daydreaming too.
When I'm not writing, my other passions include cooking, growing food, reducing my plastic waste, raising rabbits, spinning wool, and reading.
Celeste Sterling was about to graduate from university on the planet Isis. Instead, she ends up the obsession of a colonel in the security services of President Prescott.
Her shocking change in circumstances puts events into motion that place her in command of the Infinity. It's a deep space rescue ship of awesome size meant to save travelers lost in space. Each of the three species in the galactic Trio Alliance receive one of these incredible vessels from the Givers, the mysterious super beings who have given space travel technology to select species.
The ship exists to perform peaceful missions, but its immense capabilities have made it a prize in the brewing conflict between human political factions. The existing government of President Prescott wants the Infinity controlled by loyalists whereas the Correctionists, led by the exiled Earth Fanatic Richard Roanoke, want its resources to support their rebellion.
When Roanoke escapes from death row on the planet Hexex, Celeste and the Infinity receive his call for rescue in deep space.
Now Celeste finds herself facing terrorism charges and fighting for her life in a galaxy where humans are divided between Prime Planets and Slum Planets.
She must try to avoid capture and challenge the terrorism charges lobbed against her by the Prescott regime. She places her hopes in the Galactic Court overseen by the three space-faring species of the Milky Way, but she has to get there first.
Infinity to the Rescue is an exciting space opera set hundreds of years in the future after humanity has colonized the stars. The story imagines a multi-planet civilization where humans have overcome their ecologically destructive habits but still cling to the old oppressive ways of ruling society.
