"I'm hoping this book speaks to many people out there and we get lots of feedback whether it be good or bad. The book is kind of a staircase for me, and I'm forcing myself to do lots of things in it I'm not used to. Such as drawing spacecraft, and complicated alien organisms. I'm just hoping that once I'm done with it, I can look down and see how far I've walked artistically."

"This will be my first experience in creating a story that takes place in space. I am enjoying the challenge, especially the scientific aspects. Rather than relying on magic or religion to explain phenomenon, we are endeavoring to give all elements of our world a scientific foundation. It is interesting (and a lot of fun) to imagine all sorts of wonders and theories and then develop scientific reasoning to explain and support them."
