    About this ebook

    The representative of the Galactic Council arrived with a simple trade deal. One million humans for the live meat trade with the Antarans, in exchange for the most modern fold space ship, along with the life of the leader of the nation agreeing to the deal.
    Would a government be able to put together a deal in twenty four hours? Would a business consortium succeed?

    A few years ago I started to write and publish short stories using a variety of pen names. In 2011, I wrote and published over a million words.I write using over a dozen pen names and have published over 700 titles that represent over 1,500 short stories, novellas and plays.My works cover 8 of the 10 categories of the Dewey Decimal system.Recently I turned my hand to writing science fiction.I love imagining what might be in the future, but it may not always be rosy so you tend not to see the hero saving the world on the last page on my stories. For those looking for sci fi short movie ideas, why don't you try some of my ebooks? There are plenty of new and innovative concepts to discover.Speaking of discoverying...I recently discovered that I am genetically a Saami. I suspect part of that identity, and the thousands of years of isolation from humankind in my genes, also comes out in some of my stories.I write quickly, to tell a simple and entertaining story. I imagine we are sitting around the camp-fire in an era long gone. The story should be sharp and to the point so that it is memorable. I don't believe in filling 300 pages with mindless waffle.I don't plan my stories - I put my fingers on the keyboard and let them tell the story - the ending often unfolds from my fingertips without even thinking what it might be.My favourite sci-fi short stories of the ones I have published so far?I really enjoyed writing 2094, it had been forming in my mind for many years.In 2012, the cover of 2094 was sent to the edge of space on a hot air balloon and then returned - that was a great thrill.The Multiverse Traveler is another favourite and I am tempted to continue on with it into other stories.May I recommend, Androgyne, a recent addition to my bookshelf and a story I thoroughly enjoyed telling, and Avatar Gods which just felt amazing to write. I love the emotion it generates. It really adds to the atmosphere if you listen to the songs mentioned in the story.Finally, I enjoy listening to music as I write, it provides the stimulation for moods. Here is my writing playlist on Youtube, for those interested...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3ir9HC9vYg&list=PLJhp5_YdP2W5elxXaHTxZVoUxDNmW_W89For more information and to contact me, go to my website which is listed below.

      It had been a long journey through the solar system; he hated slowing down from fold space when they approached a solar system and being restricted to single light speed only, but there were rules and they applied to everyone, everywhere.

      The stop off at Jupiter had been longer than expected. but he liked the Clouds of Jupiter, they were such a happy and chatty bunch and you had to stay a full rotation otherwise you offended some part of the Cloud. He had found it interesting
