  54. About the Author

And yet, somehow, everything she does leads her back to Lorne. He always seems to know when she’s about to break under the pressures of her new life. His quiet patience is wearing Amihanna’s protective walls down, and she’s terrified of what will happen if they fall.

To My Readers

Thank you so much for reading Off Planet! This book was a long time coming. I’ve been working on it off and on since 2012. I’m so excited to have it finally out in the world!

And don’t worry! If you’re itching to know what happens next, I’m already well into writing Off Balance, the second book in the Aunare Chronicles. There’s more to come for Amihanna, Lorne, Declan, and Roan. You’re not going to want to miss it!

I’ll be posting updates on my books on my blog, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and Goodreads.

There’s also an Ink Monster Superfans group on Facebook! I post on there the most, so come and join in on the fun!

I absolutely love hearing from you. So, feel free reach out on social media or email: [email protected]

Acknowledgments

I was living in Albuquerque during the production of Marvel’s The Avengers (which my husband, Jeremy,  produced) when I first learned of Spaceport America, Richard Branson’s cutting-edge commercial space endeavor.

The notion of the glitz and wealth of the burgeoning space-exploration industry contrasted with the staggering poverty of present-day New Mexico led me to imagine a world where private concerns end up replacing the governments of the world. A world where commerce replaced democracy.

Off Planet is what came from all of that inspiration. I was writing in our little rented house off of Central Ave, and I could hear the jets landing at the Air Force base. I needed 10K words for my fifth writing residency for my MFA at Seton Hill University, and what came out was a version of the diner scene.

I took it to that June 2011 residency and got critiqued by an AMAZING group of people, including Dr. Nicole Peeler. I got such good feedback, and everyone encouraged me to keep working on it. One other classmate (David W.) pulled me aside afterward and asked me to send him anything else that I wrote for this story. I was so excited, so when I met with my new mentor, Maria V. Snyder, I decided expand the diner scene into a whole book. I’d already finished Becoming Alpha with Dr. Lee McClain, and was so excited to build a whole new world for Maité.
