About this ebook
Stephanie Rose is a flight officer with the Service and the mistress of one of the most powerful men on Alphox. Her life is perfect. So why does a chance encounter with a non-HU counter clerk on moon station disturb her so profoundly? It is not long before she begins to understand the life she knows is not her own. Who is manipulating her? And why? It seems she must find out for herself and it will not be an easy task. Stephanie’s quest takes her across the galaxy from Alphox to a little-known planet so far away that few people have heard of it. It is a place of great natural beauty but it hides a deadly secret. Getting there is hard enough. The real challenge will be getting out alive.

Must ... stop ... writing ... Sometimes I really wish I could. It gets in the way of real life. At the weekend I prefer sitting in front of the computer with my pretend friends instead of going out with my real ones. It destroys my sleep. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night knowing I need to change one word in the paragraph I wrote the evening before - and I have to get up and do it. And it makes me a dangerous driver. Get me on the road and my characters start having conversations in my head. And why are they so much more lucid and logical then than when I attempt to scribble them down at the next red light?I write because I love language. I love English with its collection of mongrel words. It's like an enormous button box where you can pick between half a dozen languages each one of which holds the history of Britain at its heart. I love the shape of words and the sound of them. I love what you can make them do on the page. And what you can make them do to your readers. Laugh, cry, stay up at night.What I like best is having a conversation with a reader about one of my characters. The reader talks about my character as if s/he is a real person. Discusses the character's motivation. Speculates about what the character did after the end of the novel. And I think, but it's all made up. Every bit of it. Out of my head.Then I know it is all worthwhile. Bringing characters alive to walk on the page. Creating a world for them to live in. Immersing myself in the shape and rhythm of a novel in the making. It's exciting stuff. And it's even more exciting when the book is finished and I hand it over to you, the reader. Enjoy!
