I have always loved the stars and the idea of space travel. First I dreamed up my hero,
Kerry Marchant, second in command of the starship 'Destiny'. Then came my heroine,
Jestine Darnell, or Jess, as she prefers to be known. Feisty and red haired, tender hearted as well as courageous. Begging to be included in the mix was Dahll Tarron, the young pilot of the hyperspeedster 'The Quest'. Their fates became entangled in ways I had not counted on when I started writing 'Starquest' as I saw events unfold through my heroine's eyes.
