Overview

Our heroine, singer Selena M, gets the space adventure she yearns for, and then some. She flies the hijacked alien spaceship Star Choice to the Moon. ""It's actually mine,"" she claims. ""It crashed on my hillside."" But various governments and militaries on Earth covet its advanced alien technology, and pursue her into space. And if they can't have it, they'll destroy it (and her) so nobody else can get their hands on it. She's all alone except for her tubular AI, Wanda, that obeys only her-usually. Her trip around the Moon turns deadly, and Selena fights to stay alive in the loneliness of infinite space. And aliens! Some friendly, some angry, some feeling sorry for themselves. Some save her life. In the midst of it all, some unexpected romance. This story doesn't fit the typical sci fi mold of far future, evil aliens, dystopian Earth. It's a story of self-discovery, with aliens and some advanced technology. Light-hearted, wry humor, and impossibilities that make sense. This continues Selena's story from ""Aliens Crashed in My Back Yard"" and ""My Spaceship Calls Out to Me"" Sci fi with a soundtrack. You can listen to the songs Selena performs on the galaxytalltales.com, Sci-Fi Music.

Reviews

""A wonderful story. I am not much of a fan of contemporary science fiction, but I like the way you write. You have revived my adolescent fascination with science fiction."" Thomas Heaven ""This story doesn't fit the typical sci fi mold of far future, evil aliens, dystopian Earth. It's a story of self-discovery, with an alien and some advanced technology."" ""Your writing has the voice of a good storyteller sitting with friends reminiscing about events in real life."" Terry Lynn Tuttle ""Great story! Kept me coming back to find out what was going to happen next. A good mixture of science, action, and philosophizing. It reminds me a bit of Asimov's writing--maybe because the voice is straightforward, without poetic flourishes. I'm looking forward to the next book."" William, Arkansas. ""Too much sci fi focuses on hard-to-imagine technology. But nothing in your stories requires a high understanding of technology or astronomy. ""And the lyrics are great-girl with an attitude."" Justin Boote, Barcelona ""I love the narrative voice - down-to-earth (no pun intended), strong, and funny. And how could I pass by the title?"" Sue Weems ""I love the parts where the alien sings along with the narrator. Very touching."" Ann, Paris. ""Your characters' personalities and voices are strong and clear, even the little alien who doesn't say a word in English. I connect with the alien, Breadbox. Her singing, her tone, her innocent questions and guilt. I find myself thinking it does not matter what she looks like."" MC D'Alton, Australia. ""I love your story, your characters, the narrative, the tone, and the whole kit-and-kaboodle. What an enjoyable read. What a commanding writer you are."" Trula, Arizona. ""You have a wonderful way with words and tell a great story. With your insight I might just think you've had some meetings with 'special Aliens.'"" Milton, San Diego.
