A Tale of betrayal, espionage & onions...

Author's Note:

I wanted to challenge myself and write present tense in the pantser style, (Writing by the seat of your pants). I'm a mad plotter but think I've found my true inner voice. Unbound is light hearted, fun and was effortless to write.

This will be a short, three part story with a closed ending. It may become an expanded hardcover novella later, depending on where it leads. Plus it would look great on my shelf.

My unrelated titles can be found here.

Synopsis:

The idea of space excites me. Yet, as history tells us, has always been difficult for humans to reach. Myself included.

So why not experience that adventure by talking my way onto a pirate crew…

… And trying to abduct its notorious captain?

Little did I know who I was dealing with.

My name is Simon Fox and I'm fresh out of flunking freighter school. Don't tell anyone that by the way because I lied on my resume.

No one does that, right?

The pirate ship in question is called the Unbound. It's that piece of scrap metal on the cover and it goes from zero to sarcasm faster than mag travel. The crew are smelly, crazy and annoying. I also hope they can't read.

Anyway, you might be wondering why a space flunky is attempting this crazy mission.

I have a good reason, and it starts with a master plan and an entry hatch…
