I love the “Space Opera” sub-genre of science fiction. Star Wars (the originals, especially the Thrawn Trilogy), Ender’s Game, and Old Man’s War – they’re amazing. I recommend them all.
So, today is a big day for me. I hit #1 in “Space Opera” for USA and Canada in the kindle store with my novel, STAR MARQUE RISING.
I’m just… so excited. No. Beyond excited. My gut is so twisted I may curl in on myself, collapse, and then implode. I’m even #1 in other sci-fi categories and it’s still sinking in how amazing this is.
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO PURCHASED STAR MARQUE RISING! You have made my day, my month, my year. It’s amazing and wonderful and I’ll never find this high again—nothing ever compares to your first.

I really enjoyed Star Marque Rising ng. I enjoyed your character development throughout the novel.. You made them come to life. Thank you for your effort, I really hope there is a sequel planned.
Sincerely,
P, R Lio
