From September 2011 I will be taking a 12-week break from work to write the first book of a science fiction trilogy called Cosmic Seed. Below is the back cover blurb for Book One, Daughters of Velika.
Two daughters. Two races. One can fulfil a prophecy; the other stands in its way.
Bria’s birth has been kept secret from the people of Velika. The ancient Prophets foretold the birth of a male heir to the planet’s throne, a son who would bring new life to the dying planet. But Bria is female, her very existence proving the prophecies false and endangering the people who preach them. Her true identity must never be known.
Kaylan's ancestors have served the Velikians for longer than history is told. Like her mother before her, she is a Keeper and a scientist, positions considered beneath the race they serve. But the Velikians are dying - their life-giving seed finally depleted - and now they look to the Keepers to save them. To re-seed the planet, Kaylan must risk exposing a secret that would change forever the planet she calls home.
