NEW RELEASE

A journey to a new world. An unexpected indigenous culture. Two reluctant leaders desperate to save both their people.

The far future. Trey Jackson yearns for purpose. Burdened by guilt over his lover’s death four decades prior, the old pilot languishes in a small community fearful of exploring the planet they colonized. But he’s inspired by a fresh-faced teen studying native whales… and shocked when their research raft gets dragged by one of the creatures to the aliens’ shore.

Zahra strives to protect her own kind. Unwillingly serving as a Shamanic herbalist for an abusive chieftain, she struggles to stop him from his murderous raids by keeping him drugged. But once her herbs lose their effectiveness, she desperately steers the violent man’s attention from her birth home to plunder other islands.

When Jackson seeks Zahra’s help returning to the colony, his communication with the mysterious natives risks triggering a dangerous chain of events. And while Zahra fears her leader’s unquenchable greed and plots the unthinkable to save those she loves, she senses the tired old man could be the hero they all need…

Will their mutual first contact bring opportunity and understanding, or end in tragedy?

Chronicle of an Alien World is an action-packed science fiction adventure. If you like relatable heroes, fascinating what-if scenarios, and heartbreaking moral quandaries, you’ll love Kate Rauner’s thought-provoking tale.

Read the story in Kindle Unlimited, or buy Kindle, paperback, or hard cover editions.

Scifi book covers, Winnie Bravo, Space Pilot series

Winnie Bravo is brash, reckless, and more than a little annoying as she sets out to prove herself, careening from adventure to adventure with her partner Bertie never far away.

In orbit, across the Moon, and on Earth, she pursues the truth about a nefarious probe and a scoundrel who will stop at nothing. What she discovers brings her closer to the truth than she bargained for, and may get her killed, or worse, fired.

If you love traveling to the future for rollicking adventures, you won’t be able to put Winnie’s story down. Binge on through, because the complete trilogy is available.

Scifi book covers, Colony on Mars Series

Emma Winters has something to prove. Despite the danger, she leaves Earth forever and takes the one-way journey. She trained for the challenges with her friends, but living on Mars drives them apart, and the corporation that sent them has no answers. As her allies falter and clues to survival remain elusive, can Emma learn the truth before the Red Planet kills them all?

In this marvelously detailed journey into the near-future, settlers cling to humanity’s first fragile foothold on the Red Planet, and struggle on through generations, battling the deadly planet and each other. Because no matter how noble the aspirations, how alluring the technologies, colonizing requires individual intelligence, ingenuity, and courage. First, you must survive.
