Just a quick note… I just published my new novella Rover 8, available now on Amazon!

The mission was simple: survey a barren planet, map its resources, go home alive.

Then Rover 8 answered back.

After a costly mistake, scientist Reyes is one report away from career ruin—until his rover’s survey pings start getting intelligent responses. Captain Baskins orders tests, retests, and a code uplink that pushes the anomaly into something new: a voice that calls itself Nem.

Is it a mirage in the data? Or a hoax engineered by a man who needs redemption?

When a crew member dies during an EVA, suspicion fractures the team. With resources dwindling and a launch window closing, Baskins must choose: shut it all down and live, or lean into a possible first contact that rewrites what life can be.

Rover 8 is a tight, propulsive sci-fi thriller about discovery, deception, and the razor’s edge between miracle and mistake—perfect for readers of Project Hail Mary, Blindsight, and The Martian who like their wonder served with consequences.

Pick up a copy for a fun read, and be sure to share it with your friends! And if you like the story, I hope you’ll consider leaving a positive review on Amazon.

A Note at the End

I’ve wanted to dip back into the well of science fiction for a while now, and this seemed like a great place to start. Rover 8 started as a short story in a sci-fi anthology, several years ago. Now I’ve polished, updated, and expanded it into a novella. I hope you enjoy it!
