When Caitlin Driskoll is awakened from a cryogenic stasis, she's got a lot of adjusting to do. It's a new century and the planet is at war. Once married to a Navy JAG, she now experiences life from the viewpoint of a Jarhead, and the view isn't pleasant. Colonel Medoro Keegan lost the two most important things in his life during his Marine career: his wife to friendly fire, and his ability to fly combat missions. Now, he's stuck aboard the Blanchard as the XO. The Corps is the only family he has left and he's not about to lose the last thing he values. Until he meets Caitlin, who isn't shy about telling Medoro what she thinks about his Marines. How can such beauty wrapped in an icy body have so much fire? It's the future, and a new kind of prejudice has replaced the racial prejudice Caitlin experienced in the last century. After all, when you've been given a second chance at life, you are expendable.
A star gazer her entire life, April Mullen jumped at the opportunity to be an astronomer on a far away planet. Finally she had the chance to live our her dream--to discover intelligent life among the stars. However when her dream starts to become a reality, things are not as they seem.

I am a writer and I love science fiction. My first novel Cold Warriors was published with Aspen Mountain Press and I am thrilled. I have another work published with Mystic Moon Press entitled Speculative Sky.
What else? I love writing romance stuff. But I have been known to hang around contemporary fic and others. I'll keep you posted regarding my pen names if you get my meaning!
I love the Lord! He gave me a passion for writing. So I'm happy to do it!
I am working on a few more projects hopefully they'll be published soon! Cause I can't get enough of writing.
If you'd like to check out my work, you can visit my sites: The Haven at http://www.thescifihaven.bravehost.com or Cold Warriors at http://www.coldwarriors.bravehost.com

Who I'd like to meet: First of all interesting people!! And anyone who likes scifi, fantasy and romance (tv, books or movies).
Here comes the wish list. So if you are out their surfing guys-- hook me up! Tony Blair-- for reasons that are my own and not sexual in nature. I admire the man for what he has accomplished in spite of his past.
George Lucas-- I'm a Star Wars fan and just because I'd like to see the magic behind Skywalker Ranch.
John Williams-- because I love his music. I played his soundtracks like they were rock music and I still think he is underrated to this day!
David Twohy-- because there is so much behind his work! There is vision and back story that doesn't need to be said by his characters but I would sure love to read it in a future book!
And shall I say have I want to have more female friends-- because true friendship-- shared woman to woman is a bond that is indescrible(sp?). It is more than Grrl power, it's cool friendship that never disappoints!
Oh yeah and people who like my work! I love talking about the stories I write. And if you're into them, I love talking about them even more!
However if you fit none of the above and just would like to connect, hey that's cool too! As Nathan Fillion would say-- "leave some positivity" behind. Why? Because I love happy endings.
