First off, it’s written in a classic “space opera” style with slight twists of humor, so if that’s not your bag you definitely won’t like it. My wife and I were arguing yesterday about when I wrote this but I think we settled on sometime between 1 and 2 years ago. I just found it on my computer the other day and realized I kind of like it (rare for me to think that of something I wrote so long ago.) It’s not quite finished, but you’ll get the gist of it quickly enough. Looking back at it now I think I’d like to make it into a comic book if I can find anyone to draw it. Post here and I’ll email it to you. Thanks in advance if anyone takes me up on the offer :). ---

I have been a fan of Sci-fi for years and I’d be honored to take a look. ---

And make hubby read it too - he’s the sci fi authority in the family - I’ve only just started reading the vampire/werewolf stuff by Charlene Harris and Kelly Armstrong. My email is either in my profile, or on hubby’s website somewhere. Olive ---
