Book 1 not

Book one is actually not book 1.

It is really  book 4 of the ones I have planned right now.

But it's the one I had ready to write. I had over 8,000 words done  and the bible started.  I also had the cover picture chosen. However I didn't have a proper title. Just a working title

Book 5 has 6,000 words. I almost started with it.

Words Worth 2

I'm over 15,000 words in.

Still a fourth of the way through.

Worked a bit on the bible, then wrote a page in the story this morning. I plan to write a bit tonight before bed.

The story is coming along nicely. Though it's a bit different than what I normally write.

This series is a bit of a departure for me.

I hope you readers like it.

Cover idea

This is my first idea for the cover.

What do you think?

Backstory of book 1

Seventy years ago a holy war between the Church and the group called The Death Cult ended with the genocide of an entire planet.

The Death Cult seem to vanish from history after that atrocity and the Church went on to help thousands of other planets become members of the Federation.

But the Death Cult was only bidding time and making plans for a resurgence. They have chosen their first planet to start that resurgence but they hadn't planned on another resurgent.

Sara was a time-lost and had been present during the holy war. She wasn't about to let another war like that take place again.

And this time she had some advantages she hadn't had last time.

Words Worth

I'm a fourth of the way through the book.  It's coming along nicely.

There's some action and some contemplating going on so far. As I said before this is a different style than my other books.

I wrote over a thousand words yesterday and going on 700 today so far.

I plan to have it done by June.

Just wanted to let you know how it's going.

Next part of the background story

After the war with the Cren, the Laren had to account for the remaining humans. The humans would not be able to go back to their old lives so the Laren gave them a choice between staying in the past with them or being dropped off in a time and place of their choosing.

Only a few of the remaining humans became time-lost. Those that stayed were lost to the sands of time in another way when the Laren disappeared.

But that's a story for another time.

The time-lost spread themselves out but time has a way to make things relative.

• They had changed the past and now they would change the future 

More of the story

The Laren a technologically advanced race was in a war with a warrior race. They were losing as they did not have the same mindset as the Cren.

So they scowlered the universe for a warrior race that with a little help from them could defeat the Cren.

And they found them.

Humans

But they didn't want to interfere with humans natural development.

So they kidnapped some. A freighter full to be exact.

One human strategily placed could change the outcome of a battle.

Especially when they have advantages.

And so the time-lost were created.

How they came to where they are now is a story for another time.
