It's AC Character Deep Dive Day!

Today is the protagonist of the series: Dee Terganon.

Dee had everything she wanted before Elos. She was a hero and was married to the love of her life, Alia Quine.

Elos changes everything. Dee's unit falls to Imps and Fiends in seconds.

That failure leads her into the bottom of a bottle and self-imposed exile.

Dee is stuck until an insistent knock wakes her from her latest drunken stupor...

It had wrecked her back and left her swimming in pain meds since she came out of surgery. The most coherent sentence she’d uttered since waking up was, “fuck, I’m thirsty for some baby tears.”

I present your first look at an Anisian from my series, the !

The first of the Anisia were part of an ancient race of human-like peoples from the planet An near our galactic center. To defeat an ancient enemy, these people channeled the æther, the lifeblood of the universe, to the point of destruction.

But from their ashes rose beings of pure energy... and for millennia, they reigned as gods before disappearing into the stars for reasons of their own.

Finished my read through of the 47.5k words on the conclusion of the and I only have one scene that needs heavy rewrites.

art reveal!

From FOCUS ON THE WIND, Eleni Mallias grew up hard on a mining colony in the Outer Rim. She's spent her life in law enforcement keeping chaos at bay and trying to protect the people she cares about, especially her younger brother Victor.

When that same brother convinces her to leave her old home and join him in settling a new planet, she joins him, filled with hope for the first time in her life.

But hope is a double edged sword.

Reveal!

Dave Parker is the deuteragonist (2nd protagonist) of LAST BID FOR A DYING EARTH and the only person in any of my books who was alive in 2022. Little pre-teen running around pretending to be Iron Man, destined to REDACTED.

Dave Parker lost his job, the love of his life, and any hope of a future for mankind.

And then Sarah Martinez ran into him, popped out his hip, and changed the course of humanity forever.

Finally got my first solid character portrait!

I present Sarah/Sayre from LAST BID FOR A DYING EARTH!

Sarah Martinez wants nothing more than to be on the first ship to the stars. And she’ll do anything to get there, even sacrifice her identity and safety under the control of an AI...
