Anyone who regularly reads my newsletter knows I’ve been working on my Dragon Eater trilogy for five hundred years a very long time. I’d originally intended to query agents for the first book while I worked on the second, but my editor pointed out that I already essentially had the first two parts of the story in the first one, and so I should just split them in two and start on the final part. So I did, and sent the first book out to query. Then I started on the third one, and have been working slowly through it … Read more

The Courier - HL Moore

Genre: Sci-Fi LGBTQ+ Category: Non-Binary Reviewer: Scott Get It On Amazon About The Book The job seemed simple enough: collect the package and deliver it to Europa within two days’ time, no questions asked. If only the client hadn’t lied about there being no catch… A tale from the Jovian Empire. The Review I just finished a new short by H.L. Moore. “The Courier” a quick read at just 32 pages. But boy does Moore rip through the scenery in that brief amount of time. Chen is a high-paid courier (don’t call them a smuggler) who transports valuable objects around … Read more
