Meet Karen Sunchaser2/8/2023 I really need to pick a genre, people. This is Karen Sunchaser, a science fiction/space opera title and character I've been cultivating in one form or another for years. Two books have dropped now, both on Amazon. The first book, "Grounded," has done fairly well over the past three months, and now "The Ghostmaker" debuted to follow it just last week. Go check them out here. If you're keeping track, that means I've now published titles in historical fiction, children's books, urban fantasy, and sci-fi. I'm just too full of ideas right now to settle in on one genre -- but I will, because that's usually a better strategy to build a lasting fan base. More on that decision soon. Like the Daddy's Disappointing Bedtime Stories, these books are illustrated with my graphic novel/manga inspired art. That's the only similarity. Karen is a bounty hunter tracking down scum and villainy through a galactic frontier of civilizations. The Alliance is sort of like the Federation or the Union, only humans are newcomers to the pact instead of its founders and feel outclassed by a universe of terrors. One thing is certain -- the whole place is in need of a snarky and pugnacious lady lawman. And Karen is up for the job. The image above is from a cover redesign that's still in development. I believe in this title enough to bring in some top-notch talent. For now the covers are my own, so I can field test the series at a few shows and favored retailers. In the first book, Karen finds a love interest in a strange place after space pirates force her to crash land on a developing planet of swarthy hunters. In the second, she leads an expedition into the belly of a derelict starship that was abandoned 300 years ago -- only someone inside has been awaiting her team. Please check it out, and send your feedback this way! If you want to know more, I've got appearances coming up in Warren, Michigan later this month and Dayton, Ohio, over the summer!
