DRAFT: Backstory Captain Tagus Perida and has been tasked with a mission: to scout the Wilderness and probe Mostrel territory - find out what their arch enemy, the Mostrel, are really up to. But Tagus has a mission of his own, avenge his father's death. And a direct order from the Commodore is unlikely to stop him. After the Alecto picks up a special team, they set out. Only to be harassed, diverted, and poked in too many places. Not to mention, have to pick up survivors from Mostrel attacks. When they finally get back to the mission and slip into enemy territory, they soon find they are being hunted down by friend and foe. Set in space, just outside the galaxy core, where the Ky, working with the ages old Empire, have been holding off the onslaught of the Mostrel.

NOW PUBLISHED. What does it mean to be normal? It's such a loaded word, with about a billion different meanings, and every one of them makes Ava Collins sick. At 17, Ava has been deaf for as long as she can remember. She grew up constantly reminded that she wasn't - and couldn't - be normal, that she needed to be 'fixed', but it wasn't until she met Theo De Vries that she learned the truth. Deaf doesn't mean broken, it means different. And different isn't a bad thing. _____ © Jandra Sutton. 2017. All rights reserved.
