G’day fellow Space Explorers
I’m really excited today, to annonce a book release. It’s called Challenge Accepted – A charity anthology. I’m one of 17 contributing authors. The project was organised and edited by Stephanie Barr and is themed around disabled heroes of all types.
A blind spaceship pilot.
Cops and maintenance personnel in wheelchairs.
Taking on bad guys with only one leg or no arms.
It’s not what you are that makes you something special. It’s who you choose to be.
Seventeen stories about people who rise above anything that tries to stop them, even their own limitations.
All author proceeds from the sale of this book go to the Special Olympics
My story is called Hands and Knees. It’s set in the Jewel of The Stars universe. One of the things about Jewel of the stars is you only get to see it in it’s normal state as a cruise ship for short time. This is necessitated by the story, obviously, because of the alien invasion that puts them on the run. But for this story, I wanted to go back and show life on the ship when everthing was still fun and happy. The hero is Nassandra, a paraplegic woman, in a hover chair, because, you know, it’s the future. On the cruise, she meets Justin, and together, they find more adventure than they bargained for, while exploring the cliffs of an alien planet on one of their shore excursions.

Challenge accepted is available in ebook, paperback, and large print. You can find it on all the major book retailers on the internet.
