The paperback version of my sci-fi novel ‘Grey Nomad’ is due for release in early 2023, but you don’t have to wait that long — the publisher has released the eBook version ahead of schedule!
Here’s a taster….
‘There, turn left,’ she shouted. ‘Left!’
The caravan hit the side of the road in a grinding flurry of gravel, and grit strafed the windscreen. Bruce wrestled with the steering wheel to stop them rolling. With a jolt, Joyce’s head hit the rest as the car stopped. Dust swirled and only the clatter of her knitting needles falling to the floor rattled the sudden silence.
‘What the hell do you think you’re doing, shouting at me like that?’ he roared. ‘I don’t know what’s got into you lately.’
‘You missed the turn, that’s what,’ Joyce said tersely. ‘The sign was huge—“Viridian Spaceship” in letters as high as a house. How did you miss it?’
Even if you don’t usually read science fiction, I think you’ll enjoy reading this story of Joyce, a stalwart member of the Country Women’s Association, who at seventy years of age gets abducted by aliens and thrust into the middle of an intragalactic war that threatens Earth. You may have heard of the genre of ‘cosy crime’ – well, I think I may just have written a ‘cosy sci-fi’ book. Alternatively, my editor jokes that ‘Grey Nomad’ is a coming-of-age story!
Anyhow, I’d love you to read my novel – if you like it, then it would be really great if you wrote a review for it on Goodreads, and/or on the site from which you downloaded the book (Apple books, Booktopia, Google Play, Kindle, or Kobo).
