An Alien View of Science Fiction Conventions

Corey grew up being abducted by aliens and wanting to stay on the spaceship. Instead, each time the aliens put him back with his parents who were addicted to drugs. After high school, the abductions had stopped and his parents had overdosed. Corey was alone and wanted answers from the aliens as to why they kept bringing him home and not save him from his parents. He became obsessed with science fiction conventions where he decided real aliens were mixed in with the costume humans.
Alice refused to accept her dad's death, which made talking to her mom difficult after she remarried a year later. Alice rationalized that her dad was an alien who suddenly went back to his home planet. She wanted to find someone to explain where he went. She decided one of those weird science fiction conventions was a good place to find an alien who knew her dad.
Separately they attend the same science fiction convention and together meet the alien Yoo Boo. She is getting her doctorate in human love and wants to help Alice and Corey on their quests for answers. They all agree, and the first stop is to a sci-fi con on a planet several light years away.
On their journeys, Alice and Corey meet a galactic assortment of people who would be aliens on Earth. Except, in space no one is an alien.
After finishing their individual quests and Yoo Boo has her doctorate, Alice and Corey meet again. They found much more than what they sought at the start of their quests. Now, they must decide on their futures.

If you want to read the same plot as on the bestseller lists, do not buy my novels. Also, do not buy my novels if you like authors who command ChatGPT to write their story. Do read my novels if you want something written by a human. I strive for believable characters within a peacefully unique and suspenseful plot.
I am an author who narrows the serious, widens the absurd, and tries to satire everything else with a dab of humor.
After a childhood on a Virginia dairy farm, I eventually worked in the Pentagon for several decades. This gave me the qualifications to write fiction. I escaped the politics and moved to New Bern, North Carolina. I host a creative writing class at the library and volunteer with non-profits.
Almost thirty magazines have published my short stories and I have published several novels that I enjoy reading. I hope you do, too. More are coming.
