    About this series

    Volume 1: It's a post-modern America; shattered into a dozen smaller, squabbling nations. The plot centers on Aiyana Cassidy and Kendra Foster-Briggs. Aiyana – Cass – is a genius physicist who has stumbled upon a technology that will revolutionize the world. Kendra’s her best friend from high school who has come back into her life. She seems to be a retired actress, but she has secrets. Those secrets might just save their lives, as Cass is nearly assassinated at her wedding and they’re off on a cross-continental journey to find answers.


    Volume Two: It's five years later. They’re both working towards their dreams – Cass perfecting her invention, Kendra egging on the development of the world’s first starship – and raising their daughters when they’re approached desperate politicians from within the successor to the United Nations. They believe that Cass & Ken's skills and resources can avert a global catastrophe, and so they’re pulled into an interplanetary conflict they didn’t even know existed. This time, the stakes are higher, the challenges are greater, and the surprises just keep coming!


    Volume Three: We rejoine our heroines a few months after Volume Two. The conflict has cooled as both sides reassess and rebuild, but the opposition hasn’t forgotten about Kendra. They’ll go to any length to destroy what she’s been building. Will they succeed? Or will they, once again, outwit and outsmart the opposition? Volumes 1-3 Narrated by Jane Weatherstone


    Volume Four: How do you end a war you want no part of?

    Cass and Ken just want to get back to their plans for exploration.

    That doesn't seem to be in the cars, though, so now it's time to think outside the box.

    If the leaders of Artemis won't listen, maybe it's time for new leaders.

    New tools, new crews, new challenges, but the same Cass and Ken: they're not going to let anything stop them!

      The Moon Is Full of Money

      Sep 7, 2017

      I was slung in my favorite deck chair, drink in hand, having a gawk at the night sky. Andromeda, Pisces ... I trawled the constellations, mind abandoned, still aware in some curve at the back of my brain that the world is coming apart at the seams and we’re all fucked, and enjoying the gentle paradox of it, the clink of the ice in my glass and the slumber of the dog. By and by I found my gaze resting on the moon. There it was, the great provider: breeder of wonder, werewolves, and all those songs. The place where beauty meets philosophy, where hope and despair alike are lost. Gnawing through t
