Of course the writing skills are cringe-worthy, but the fun of alien worlds captured me. I had all these crazy creatures and other aliens. I created blue aliens (It came out before Avatar, and is NOT fan-fiction, I swear!) on a pastoral planet. My first story was an epic 141k story titled The Price of Honor. Is it any wonder my first stab at a novel was science fiction? Of course, I’m not talking about The Experiment. I read a lot of other big sci-fi novels, like Dune, Enders Game, Contact, Freedom’s Landing, Brightness Reef, and many more too. Telepathic bipedal/quadripedal feline aliens that create intimate mental and physical links… and a war with a strange feline xenophobic lizard species? Toss in a human colonist woman who was victimized by the lizard aliens and bonds with a male Sholan, the first interspecies bonding ever? A big favorite early on was Lisanne Norman’s Sholan Alliance worlds.
From the first time I read about aliens, and alien worlds, I was hooked. The lure of science fiction has held me in its grasp for a long time.
