This was a great book! I loved the fact that this book had an asexual main character as you don't see that often in books. The fact that she was asexual did not take away from the story in any way. Besides, she was probably one of my favorite characters to read about in a long time. I found this whole series to be well written and am glad that I picked it up. I will definitely read more books by this author in the future!

The character and story growth is wonderful. Each of them broken for multiple reasons. Together healing while still fighting to progress. Many perspectives to gain full understanding. Excited to continue the journey in next book.


The New Dawn is a science fiction action adventure series. Humans have moved away from this solar system and colonized a new planet and that planet's moons. They think they’ve hit a gold mine – an uninhabited water planet – but something strange evolves the longer they stay. Humans developing super-human ability. Not great strength or power, just something to suggest that there once was life on this planet, and that life shifted to another plane of existence.

You will love this science fiction adventure series featuring found families, supernatural aliens, and hope for tomorrow. Get it now!

About the Author

I am an astronomer who defected from academia to work on weather satellites for NOAA. I’m the author of The New Dawn science fiction series, so named because every new dawn is a new chance to make things right. While developing my novels, I wrote and produced a series of comedic films about asexuals surviving the hypersexual world, inspired by my own journey. My motto in life is that I can be everything I want, just not all at the same time.
