Zero Station: A Science Fictio....

Amanda Hamm

Zero Station is a tale of first contact, written from the human side, and then the alien.


Humans have known for years that they are not alone in the universe. Those in power have chosen not to seek further contacts because of a tragic history, but sometimes contact cannot be avoided.

When an unidentified ship crashes in Antarctica, a team is assembled to communicate with the new arrivals. First agonizing silence, then a confusing plea for help. Who or what caused the ship to crash? Will scars from the past interfere with the mission? And will the team understand the danger in time?

Zero Station is a gripping tale of first contact, uniquely told from both the human side and the alien.

If you like what you read here, Zero Station is available on Amazon for $9.95.



 

Dear Jane Letters

Amanda Hamm

This is a fun love story. The heroine writes an advice column and some of her quirky letters are sprinkled throughout the book.


From the back cover: Dear Jane Letters is a light-hearted look into the life of Raina Lane, author of a local advice column titled Dear Jane. Raina has a close family who loves and entertains her at every encounter. She lives with her best friend, Vicki, who is about to get married and is anxious to see Raina paired up as well. She looks for romance between Raina and just about anyone with whom they come into contact, including a blind date and the old friend who has recently reentered Raina's life. Despite her roommate's constant vigilance, when Raina does find love, it still catches her by surprise.

If you enjoy reading Dear Jane Letters, the complete book is available on Amazon for $13.05.

Not bad. The inept mommy bits seemed a bit more sad than funny, but the opening scene at the wedding was easy to picture and an excellant opening. You may want to reconsider your classification. Calling something with obscene language and drug references "universal" is likely to offend someone. view book

Thanks, Patty, for taking the time to read my work. You have a valid comment. I did have one other person (whose opinion I respect) tell me there might be too much back story in the first chapter. I think writers have a line to walk here; too much history up front can as you say slow down a story... view book

I love it when an author can bring me to a time and/or place that is otherwise unfamiliar to me. I have read only the first chapter, but the sense of place in My Splendid Concubine is fantastic. Not only the description, but the customs and dialog really make the setting come alive. Good luck to ... view book
