The view as I write


Just a little peek inside my writing studio (and what I'm working on, too!).

Proxima Centauri will be out in a few weeks. It releases on August 16th, and you can pre-order it on Amazon today!

Behind my monitor, you see three shots I took of the solar eclipse from August, 2017.
Closeups of those three shots -- sunspots, solar prominences and then the diamond ring effect -- are below.




And here's the camera that took those gorgeous photos: my trusty Nikon D750. Love that thing!
On that day, I used a 200mm prime with a 2x teleconverter. And, of course, the solar filter to keep from frying one of my favorite toys.


We flew out to a few airports along the way to scout the perfect location.
Yes, that actually is a roll of paper towels behind my head. And if I look hot—well, I was. It was in the high 90s that day.


The view on our way back was spectacular. Loved the reflection of the sun and clouds in the winding river below.


Happy reading, and hopefully Proxima Centauri will be in your hands very soon!
If you haven't read the book that began the trilogy, you can pick up book #1 in the Enfield Genesis series, Alpha Centauri, here.

And if you like it, please head over to Amazon and write a brief review? It sure helps out us independent authors when you let others know you enjoy what we write.

Fair skies!
~ Lisa

New series launches this fall!

With the Enfield Genesis series wrapped up in May, it was time to begin a new series. This October, we'll launch the Sol Dissolution series with book 1: Venusian Uprising. This series will be different in that, instead of writing it solo, like I did with the Enfield Genesis series, Mal and I are going to be co-writing it. There are two protagonists here, pitted against each other, and being manipulated by an antagonist hidden in the wings. Loads of fun and intrigue! I'm writing the character on the cover, Katelyn Evans. If you've read any of the core Aeon 14 books, she's the younger sister of Joe Evans, Tanis's husband. Katelyn is a pilot and a smuggler for the Scattered Worlds resistance. Mal is writing the chapters that feature Williams, a Gunnery Sergeant in the Terran Space Force's Marines. We plan loads of fun, excitement, adventure, action, and maybe even a wee bit of tension between the two as they keep bumping into each other. An...
