No, it's nothing of mine, sorry. I rarely post anymore, and I can't remember how long it has been since I submitted a story... just haven't had the drive.
I still read though, as it is still my favorite form of entertainment.
I just finished Firestar by Prince Von Vlox and I felt like I should share it with the rest of the readers here on SOL.
The blurb posted:
Corey Andersen is the youngest Squadron Lead in the Families Navy, the military arm of a culture that is 98% women. She is trying to learn how to defeat the Idenux, pirates that have warred on the United Families for more than 30 years, and whose attacks are increasing. She's a young fighter pilot, and she's incurred the enmity of the clerks and administrators
I don't think I can discuss it here without spoiling details better left for the reader to discover, but I liked it enough to post this is my blog! There are some world-building details that really caught my attention, and a couple of frustrating bits that had me re-thinking my own preconceived ideas of how things 'should' go!
There is a sequel in progress currently, though I won't read it until it is done, and two shorter stories spun off this universe, that I plan to read next. I expect, if they are as good as Firestar is, this could well grow into an epic series.
If you like SciFi, you should definitely give it a shot.
