What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Lunar Rift (Solar Dawn Book 1)?
I originally wrote the Reach for the Stars series set in the near future, but it has many speculative events and inventions. I wanted to reduce the speculation to conceivable scientific development in the next 100-150 years or so. Solar dawn is based on this premise.
