Teaser story

Just for fun, and because it's late and I've been sick, here's a teaser for you. I won an award for characterization for this micro-short story. The guidelines for the contest were: Tell a complete story in no more than three sentences. Run-on sentences will be repunctuated. I had too much fun with this one:

God said, “Let there be light.”
The universe paused, then rearranged the laws of physics to accommodate nuclear fusion.
And there was light.

Happy Monday, sorry it's late.

Nexus Point is getting closer to release

My novel is getting closer to release. I'm waiting on the final word from the publisher that everything is set. I'm hoping for Labor Day weekend, but it looks like it might be later into September. Meanwhile, just to whet your appetite, here's a teaser for it:

Dace’s wants are simple–a trading ship and the freedom to fly where she chooses. But on her first trip, her crew betrays her, her ship explodes, and she finds herself stranded on Dadilan, a planet locked in a feudal age.
Survival is hard enough when you have no technology or resources. It’s even harder when you have drug smugglers hunting you. Dadilan is the source of shara, a drug that enhances psychic abilities, a commodity so rare and precious people will kill for it.
Trapped between rival smugglers and the Patrol undercover investigation, Dace has one hope of rescue–convincing Tayvis, the undercover agent, she’s an innocent bystander. But those don’t exist on Dadilan. No one lands without authorization, unless they are smuggling.
Her ignorance may cost her life.
