About This Trilogy

Attention. You are now leaving Mennelsohn Space for the Draxian Universe.

...and this blog is about to become my main focus.  :)

What's Going On?

I'm in the process of shifting in time from my Inherited Stars Series that's set centuries in the future (though two or three stories in that timeline will still be coming soon) to dwell in time of the Draxis.

If you've read any of the books of my current series, this era is a frequently referenced and its people, places and conflicts a catalyst for everything that came after that time. I'm so excited to finally be working on getting this story evolved from being more than just a historical reference in the fictional future my readers know.

With the activation of this blog, I'm changing my focus. Not an easy thing to do after spending the last many years immersed in the world of Sair, Drea and company. But there are other ages to explore and other adventures to discover.

So this is the place I'll be sharing insights, notes, snippets and both back- and forward-story, since books in the future of this series are already published.

It all begins with a woman named Katrina...

Katrina Wells is seized from a campsite in Iowa, hurled through space and time and thrust into a civilization of alien customs and frightening laws. She is determined to find her way back to Earth even though 21 years will pass on her home planet before she can return. 

At odds with her abductor, King Alii'us, she uses her negotiation skills to wrest a pledge from him: In the span of ten days, he must convince her to remain with him on Draxis or honor her wishes to return to Earth. 

Katrina is soon struggling with her fascination for the king, embroiled in the life-or-death fate of her protector, Captain Tell, swept into a dangerous power struggle with High Priest Altus and stalked by a legendary assassin who was once her closest friend. 

With the deadline at hand to chose between two worlds, she comes to understand the very future of Draxis hangs in the balance of her decision.

Many thanks for being here.

About This Site

This blog was created as a companion to my Draxian Trilogy series, a part of the Inherited Stars Universe. 

This trilogy blends ancient history, legend, science fiction, science and myth into a world not beyond possibility, and not so different from our own — or from what our own might have been. 

Book One centers on Katrina Wells, a woman who is abducted from a campsite in Iowa, carried across time and space and thrust into a maelstrom of political intrigue and opposing powers on what is possibly an alien world. Even more alarming, she finds her own legend has preceded her. 

Believing she has fallen victim to mistaken identity, Katrina sets her will on returning to her former life all while pursued by a powerful king, protected by a stalwart captain, stalked by a deadly assassin, and charmed by a powerful High Priest — a charismatic and influential man who would have much to gain by her defection. 

Katrina soon learns her role is much greater than she imagined, for she may be the key to survival for an empire in decline — a realm that predates all civilizations on Earth. 

Welcome to the world of Draxis.
