The first novella in my Lightning series is out!

Seventeen years ago today, a spaceship from a war-torn planet brought several families of aliens to Earth. They all lost loved ones and gained super powers. They also learnt to hide amongst humankind and blend in.

A car crashes into Lena Parker, the sheltered and invulnerable daughter of the dead hero who brought the aliens to Earth.

Former teenage runaway Luke Far returns to school for the first time. He crashes into a rival family, the eccentricities of the school and spontaneous bouts of invisibility.

Then in the hospital, a man comatose for seventeen years stirs, watched by Kirsty Dwight, the black sheep of Fate Cove. When he wakes, the life these people made for themselves will never be the same.

Crash Day is the first of Lightning’s inaugural “Power + Irresponsibility” season. You can buy it at Amazon.

In addition to the novella, there’s free fiction. Today I’ve released Traffic, a story about a girl certain that technology’s out to get her. You can read it for free at Lightning Tales.
