Book 3 Synopsis 

*I recommend NOT reading this unless you've read books 1 & 2 as there may be some slight spoilers!

His loyalty has shifted. Her true colors are showing. The fight for the galaxy is on. 

Forced to face the reality of the corruption overtaking the galaxy, The Soldier sheds his true purpose in order to join the Rising. There’s only one problem. He’s forced to work with an old flame who broke his heart cycles ago. 


Rising operative Rin is pushed to her limits as the fast-approaching war becomes a reality and her rightful place is demanded of her. Fighting not only for the good of the galaxy, but against her attraction to the young man she’s forced to partner with, Rin must make difficult choices between her heart and the good of the galaxy.


Across the Black, Talie and Renner fight to win over the Outlier Rim to the Rising’s side while Leef and Merritt face a great unknown that lies behind a deadly space storm in hopes of finding aid. 


With King Praxin’s armies reaching into every aspect of the galaxy, the Rising is quickly running out of time as they fight to replace corrupt leaders on the high council. Will their numbers be a match for the bot army and military presence spreading like space dust to every corner? And can they find the help they need in unlikely allies? Or will the galaxy descend into chaos and corruption at the hands of an evil dictator? 


Rising From the Galaxy is the last book in the Xerus Galaxy Saga. It’s a no spice romantic space opera perfect for fans of Star Wars, Skyward, and Red Queen. (Recommended for 13+)

The story behind the story...

If you followed my last Kickstarter then you'll know the behind-the-scenes, but for those who might be new I'll summarize a little here. I started writing Suspended in the Stars on my blog in August 2020 and by the end of the month I was only half-way through the story but had anxious readers who wanted the book!

After a while of being "on submission" with it (which means my agent had sent it to publishing houses to see if they wanted to purchase it) we'd amassed some very kind (and encouraging) "no's" so I decided to put it out myself instead.

Check out my PODCAST EPISODE >>HERE<< for more details. 


How can I help spread the word?

I'm so glad you asked ;-) 

You can tell people about it! If they like YA scifi & fantasy this book may be right up their alley. Plus, I'd be so grateful if you shared!
