A Milestone: Ten Books in the Meniscus Series
With the publication of Meniscus: Rosetta Stone, there are now ten books in the Meniscus Science Fiction Series. Well, since I always make life difficult for myself, there are actually eleven books (if you count Meniscus: 1.5 and you should – it’s a great little book).
~
~
In any case, this is a milestone in another way. Rosetta Stone is the first book of a Trilogy aimed at ending the oppressive rule of the Dock-winders, overlords of planet Meniscus.
~
The Meniscus Science Fiction Series tells:
- the story of abducted Humans and their fight for freedom
~
- the love stories of memorable characters:
~
- the adventures of characters pitted against the wilds of planet Meniscus:
~
The stories are told in free-verse poetry (do not be afraid) and illustrated. Each book includes maps, character backgrounds, a glossary and a Gel-speak dictionary.
~
Try them, you’ll like them. Click on any of the covers to the right to see the book for sale on Amazon.
All my best!

Abra, translator and historian, has found a previously unknown Dock-winder manuscript. She thinks it may contain a clue to overcoming the evil Dock-winders but first, she will make a hazardous journey to Hath-men, the centre of the Resistance movement. Join her as she faces dangers in the Meniscus woods and capture by the disgusting Gel-heads.

planet meniscus: the strangest character of them all
In my new book, Meniscus: Rosetta Stone, there are several new characters. Perhaps the most unusual is Drag-on, one of the Hooplore.
~
~
The Hooplore is a species native to planet Meniscus:
sentient, telepathic; resemble nests of cooked spaghetti; roll and bounce like tumbleweeds; rather aloof from other Meniscus aliens and helpful to Humans.
~
The Hooplore do not eat but gather nutrients as they roll across the substrate.
~
Drag-on is known by the broken strand of ‘spaghetti’ he drags behind him.
~
~
Drag-on is a friend to James, who lives in the village of Hath-men. When James was first brought to Meniscus as a child, Drag-on rescued him, and raised him to be the leader of The Resistance. When Abra arrives at the village, Drag-on becomes her friend and protector.
~
Drag-on communicates telepathically. Touch his strands and his thoughts will fill your head.
~
Hope you enjoy reading more about Drag-on!
