400 years between stars

Posted on March 15, 2014 by Graphite Bunny

I am very pleased to say that my first novel is out in e-book and POD format with wingsepress.com/

Reaching the planet’s surface, Dyandra is horrified to discover that only half of the crew touched down. The rest are trapped in space by a mutiny. With inadequate provisions and separated from family and friends she must battle for survival in an environment she doesn’t understand.

A science fiction novel by Benjamin F Jones – to buy it click here.

A belated congratulations from me. I agree with Keith–that’s a nice cliffhanger at the end of the first chapter. And yes, the cover is great. Good luck with this 🙂

Congratulations. I really like the first chapter, nice cliffhanger. I’m about six months away on my own novel (it’s SF also). I’ve published numerous SF short stories, but this will be my first novel-length work in genre. I like your cover; it reminds me of Golden Age Science Fiction cover art… I don’t know if that was intentional, but I think it’s a very good thing.

  It was a tricky thing the cover. Initially I wanted something much more abstract and arty – but of course that doesn’t say SF. I was quite pleased with this. It is the cover that says what is inside.
  
  Good luck with your novel length work – how are you getting on?
