In honor of the second edition of From the Shadows, I’m sharing a short story I wrote about Tyler and Sapphira’s first meeting. I love the friendship between these two, and I wanted to explore how that friendship began–was it always so easy and comfortable? Has Tyler always had that protective streak? What was Sapphira like as an ensign? How did an enlisted man and an officer get to be such good friends, anyway? And just what is Tyler’s full name?
This story, First Contact, answers all those questions and a few more. Check it out, and if you haven’t read From the Shadows yet, I hope this whets your appetite! You can follow the links on the “Books” page to purchase a copy of From the Shadows, free everywhere except Amazon, where it’s 99ยข. (Or $9.99 if you want it in paperback)
In the meantime, enjoy “First Contact” for free right here on this blog.
I’m not seeing it on the Books page at the moment – maybe link to it here?
Oh sorry, I think the post was confusing–the short story is right here on the blog, and it’s the novel that is linked through the Books page. I edited the post for clarity, hopefully it makes more sense now!
