When a telekinetic barista and starship commander's love awakens magick from when humans forged stars, yet when forgotten foes seek vengeance for a war humanity began before Earth formed, love becomes their only hope. #Fantasy #Amquerying #Disability
So I found the old Super Nintendo game Wing Commander I played when I was 12 on EA Games for $2!
I'm regressing to childhood on my laptop now. Much needed respite from the barbaric querying trenches!

I guess only a real writer would keep writing when the deck is so hopelessly stacked against them in the traditional publishing industry.
Here I go, shifting back to my urban fantasy tale.
All so it can sit on my laptop for eternity.

9/15 word: OTHER
Cullen stumbles over Angie's past traumatic moment, and neither knows how to get through it---Angie winds up changing the subject. Healing isn't a one and done thing, it's process and it's a marathon.

Reading recommendations needed: Looking for books that start in one genre and evolve into another. Not talking about portal fantasy - more like stories where the scope expands dramatically. What have you found?

In Times Destiny, Angie a 21st century barista and Cullen a 61st century starship commander have psionic powers drawn directly from the universe. Angie is a powerful telekinetic while Cullen's empathic powers led to his acumen in starship combat.

Something in Times Destiny that surprised me?
How alike magick and science actually could be.
It's all about perception. So how the universe works varies depending on how you look at it.

My favorite thing about Times Destiny?
Juxtaposition. Taking two wildly different things and seeing how they actually belong together because of the unifying human element.
Humans...despite our differences, are essentially more alike than we're different.

21st-century barista Angie would lean into her urban witch vibes, pointy hat & a broom that matched her Katy Spade bag.
61st century starship commander Cullen wouldn't see the point, but for Angie he'd try.
