New Europa Blog

The character in a book I'm reading (Departure by A.G. Riddle) is an aspiring author and seems to know why we read books.   “To me, this is what great books are about, revealing our own lives ..a way only stories can; we see ourselves in the characters, our own struggles and shortcomings, in a way that's nonthreatening and nonjudgmental. We learn from the characters; we take those lessons and inspiration back to the real world.” I aspire to have a character I create reach such a lofty goal.

 The New Europa Trilogy Kindle / Unlimited / Paperback / Hardcover

Audiobook production has begun. I think the narrator's voice is a good match for the book, lending excitement to the characters and bringing the story to life.

Book three of the New Europa trilogy is completed and published for Kindle and print-on-demand. Colony's End completes the saga and wraps things up nicely. See how things turn out for Gift and her beloved colony.

Wow! Book 3 is looking ready to go. The cover art is amazing. I can hardly believe I've completed the New Europa trilogy and saw this story and Gift to a fantastic conclusion.

 While it has a way to go for editing and rewriting, the draft of Colony's End is finished, from prologue to all fifty chapters to epilogue. The final volume of the trilogy wraps up the main story for Gift and her companions. What a ride it has been to write. I hope some find it an enjoyable read and fun journey to take.

On Colony's Dawn: Book One of the New Europa Trilogy:  I was impressed with this book and definitely recommend it to Science Fiction lovers. The story is well written. The word choices are excellent. They demonstrate the richness and diversity of the English language, and the author's familiarity with human quirkiness. They also reveal the author's knowledge of computer systems, and make the technical details plausible even if the reader is unfamiliar with them. The anticipation of the next events makes the story exciting and suspenseful. The author seems to have a grasp of women's feelings and sensitivities which is very touching. He captures the emotions of the characters in a very realistic way. I look forward to reading the 2nd book of the trilogy. Kudos to this first time author!
