Looking beyond the Choosing Life anthology release, my next release will be Sustaining Utopia, Book One in The Pavfarah Utopia Series (which will be Christian dystopian science fiction). I've written the book blurb (below):

“He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire. Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.” – Psalms 46: 9-11 (KJV)

In 1968, a star-faring fleet of ships bearing the last of the Fentawnii alien race arrived at Earth. They conquered the world with their superior weapons and renamed it Pavfarah. Despite crushing initial losses, humanity formed an organized Resistance. Always on the run, they lived in abysmal conditions and used hit-and-run tactics to compensate for their limited numbers and technological disadvantages. After more than a decade of conflict, the Fentawnii tempted their ravaged population with beautiful cities, offering all the humans could possibly want through a proverbial olive branch. A significant amount of the Resistance took the bait, many for the sake of their offspring. Yet freedom is never free. Once ensnared, those humans quickly succumbed to the control of their benevolent tyrants. Almost every aspect of their lives became determined by the Fentawnii government.

In the present, the humans in the cities don’t know that the Resistance is fighting on their behalf. And the Fentawnii are not entirely unified; some sympathize with the humans. Then there’s the Humanii, a race born of these two species. They are the wild card, the perfect spies. They share intel with both sides, inflict sabotage, and are embedded in military roles. The Fentawnii leadership will do anything to asset dominance, and the Resistance will do anything to stop them. Yet changes are coming that neither side can predict or compensate for.
