Story Behind The Book
As an award-winning short story author, it surprised even me that ResAliens Press approached me about putting out a collection of short stories featuring my space pirate character Aston West. Pulling in some classic tales and penning some new ones, I'm happy with the results, and can't wait to share all of these stories with existing fans and fans-to-be both.
