Ship’s log, 10:57, 29 September 2213 Location: Intersystem between the JOP and Corvus FTL Corridor Status: Sublight transit I feel like I’m going backwards. Dr Cirilli insisted that we need to repeat at least one of our previous Steps, for ‘scientific confirmation’. She had a long, drawn-out argument with the captain about it – […]
Here’s the second sneak peek for your reading pleasure! Introducing Keida, a thief roaming a city on the colony of Dyne. I love her voice – she’s a lot of fun to write. This was originally a superhero-type piece, until I decided to move her over into the Starwalker universe. Now super-powers are replaced by […]
Here is the first of the villain short sneak peeks. This one is about Henry, based on the colony of Broken Hill. These are adult-flavoured shorts – you have been warned! This is just the first section of the story. Enjoy. **** The airlock shuddered closed; its angry swallowing trapped the last of the workers […]
As mentioned in my previous note, I am taking a brief hiatus between the end of Starwalker: Book 1 and the beginning of Starwalker: Book 2. Good news! I have now reached the end of Book 1! I’ve struggled with how I should end this particular book. There’s another post or two that I could […]
Ship’s log, 15:07, 24 September 2213 Location: JOP Status: Docked I wish I could swear. Power up my speakers and fill my corridors with it, violent explosions of noise that express exactly how I feel right now. For a moment during that talk between the captain and Shark Sten, I thought John would walk […]

We’re docked at the Jumping-Off Platform, awaiting a decision by the Judiciary on the matter of Security Officer Lou Tripi and the sabotage she committed aboard the Starwalker. The crew have given their statements and we have provided all […]
The end of Starwalker’s first book is swiftly approaching. Just a couple more posts, and we’ll be there! Thanks to all of you who have stuck by me and the story so far. It has been wonderful to have you all along for the ride! You may be panicking right now, but please, fear not. […]
Ship’s log, 12:16, 15 September 2213 Location: JOP Status: Docked They’re forgetting me. My crew, the ones who went to the captain to ask him to find a way to save me. The ones I’ve nurtured and kept safe in turn. They’re getting used to me not being here. It’s only been a couple […]
Ship’s log, 02:52, 8 September 2213 Location: JOP Status: Docked I am officially dead. For Danika, this is the second time, and it’s no more accurate now than it was the first time around. The motions have been gone through, the logs have been doctored and filed, and my decks are missing their hum. […]
Ship’s log, 08:45, 1 September 2213 Location: JOP approach Status: Thrusters only Here we are. Home(?). My birthplace; where I started, and where I might end. Butterflies are caught in my ventilation shafts. I’m on final approach now. My FTL and sublight engines are offline, disabled by standard protocols this time, not sabotage or […]
