I couldn’t resist this one if I’m being honest. The letter I mean, not blowing up Earth…
Many years ago, the first time I needed a break from Darkness, I wrote another book. I think it was actually my 04 or 05 Nanowrimo, and was called Black Monday.
Isn’t the cover amazing? With thanks to Renée Barratt at ‘The Cover Counts’. Black Monday is one of my few unrelated to The Darkness Deadlies serials and is still in draft stage. It’s so unlike Glass Block that when I initially started dating my other half, we talked about it all the time.
The Black Monday series follows Gedren, the captain of a ship that accidentally ignited the atmosphere by triggering a catastrophic launch of it’s jump drives. The 2IC, Marcus Farran is blamed, and is put into stasis, because no able body is wasted in a time where there are only five ships in the void, on the way to somewhere they are to settle.
Farran reappears in Soul’s Road, a different series, and is to be quite honest, almost as beloved to me as the characters from Glass Block.
So, what do you think? Is this one interesting? Into harder sci-fi? This might be the book for you.
After Easter, I’ll be setting up a street team, and will be looking for beta readers. My books need to get out there, and I’m quite fond of sharing where I can. If you’re interested, head over to my mailing list and I’ll let you know when it’s ready.
While I’m visiting with family, my posts may be late and slightly shorter. Don’t panic, normal service will be resumed Monday 🙂
D Kai Wilson- Viola is a prolific and often intensely fun writer. Her favorite genres are Sci-Fi, where her Darkness series is set, Fantasy, where she writes up actual play from RPGs she never got to run, urban fantasy, mostly inspired by her bad idea bear (aka her partner, Tempus, and mental health advocacy, as she’s got a raft of diagnoses, none of them particularly pleasant, but none that tend to hold her down for long either
When not writing, and still *thinking* about writing often enough to get caught out, Kai can be found training with her beloved at the Ludosport Academy they belong to, hanging out with family and friends gaming, or enjoying exploring parts of the world they’ve got access to at the time.
A nature and animal lover, Kai is a writer because she has to, because she loves it, and because it’s fun. She is the mother of two cats, two adults and lives in the Cotswolds, UK, with her beloved.
This looks great! I don’t meet enough scifi-author bloggers. 🙂

The cover is amazing. Black Monday looks like an exciting read. BTW, I gave a shout out to your blog on my letter ‘D’ post today on FictionZeal.com. 🙂
Thank you Diane!
I am on holiday, but in my second week, I will be linking back to other blogs, so I am pleased to see someone doing it!
