I want to get through my reasons for starting this course, so here's a brief review of my novel writing career.
It started with NaNoWriMo, when I wrote a short novel about life on Earth during and after the eruption of the super-volcano underneath Yellowstone. This was heavily base on autobiography.
But my real first novel, in 2013 was Science Fiction, firmly based in Mathematics. It was about an intelligent species, looking like a cross between giant ants, spiders and Mantises. Their physiology is unlike the humans who landed on their planet, but so is their psychology. They are emotionless clones of each other. The story is about their life and the lives of a small group of interplanetary visitors from Earth. It's called Transitions and you can find it by following the link to my Author Page as Jason Fredericks, my pen-name.
That was it until ten years later I went back to writing. In just over a year, I have written another five Science Fiction Novels, one of which is a sequel to the first book, almost completed in draft ten years ago. You can find them via the same author page. The books are all in Kindle format, available from Amazon.
I began to widen my horizons and turned to Romance in more or less the present day. For this I took on another pen-name, Stella Scarlatti, with a younger, female, Italian image. Only one so far, Parliamo Italiano. But the sequel is almost complete.
