I got a fun surprise in the mail! Advance reader copies of THE UFO FILES arrived on my doorstep.
I started working on this book back in 2023. For two years, I interviewed scientists, read books about everything from bioluminescent ocean life to alien languages, sketched page layouts, sent draft after draft back and forth with my editor, and racked my imagination for ideas to make the aliens and their technology both interesting and plausible.
You can stretch this journey even farther back, though. I wrote my first story about a visit from aliens when I was in 3rd grade! I’ll share it in a future post. I knew at that young age that I wanted to be an author. And at the time all I wrote was science fiction and fantasy.
THE UFO FILES is my first published science fiction book.
So it was a special moment indeed to find the finished book sitting on my doorstep.
My dog Apollo helped me open the package. I love how shiny the cover is! And the artwork looks even more stunning in person. Weston Wei did a fantastic job.
