Many thanks to fellow Champagne author Ceci Giltenan for inviting me to contribute to her series of stories about courage, as she gets ready to launch her new book Highland Courage. She let me noodle around a little with the ways in which the main characters in An Alien’s Guide “Try, Anyway.” Here’s an excerpt:
That’s the heart of this story. It’s about people who look the impossible straight in the eye, and do it anyway. Save the world from stupid but brutal aliens? Find a sister lost somewhere in the galaxy? Escape exile and return home? All impossible tasks, but these characters accomplish them, by helping and loving each other. (And by trusting a dog, of course!)
