My name is Mary Andrews. I write science fiction, Psionic Psi Fi. Welcome to my worlds.
I'm a pretty diversified person, so I have packed quite a bit into my website. Here's a brief overview of what you'll find should you press the buttons above.: MACROCOSMS is my blog page is currently being reinstalled on this site. It will contain sporadic postings of Guest Bloggers My Macroscopic Memoirs, Author Interviews, Book Reviews, Writing Articles/links & more. The BOOK PAGES each showcase an excerpt from The Fireborn Chronicles books, as well as reviews, buy sites, and updates. If you buy Trade Paperback of book 2, The Fireborn Chronicles: Resonances, from MuseItUp Publishing's bookstore you can receive the eBook free click here. It seems that my publisher wants to wait a year after publishing the eBook before releasing the print book. That's too long and too easy for it to get put off with scheduling and all. I love my publisher, but from now on, I plan to release Author's Editions of my printed books right off the bat.I put off doing this to the first book because I so love the original cover. Then, it disappeared off of the online sites and nobody could tell me why, so I went ahead and asked for the eBook rights back from Swimming Kangaroo Press and put out a re-edited version with a new cover and chapter illustrations. SK is no longer in business, but still keeps the books which they published available online. EBooks released by MuseItUp Publishing are available in most formats. At the publishers bookstore they also list the links to all other distributors who carry their books. They're good people and are always having great book sales /specials: http://museituppublishing.com/bookstore/index.php/our-authors/50-our-authors/authors-a/152-author-45183 ME SIGHTINGS page contains all kinds of interviews, links to online classes I've taught, as well as both online and physical Me Sightings during past years. Since I moved my website, the content on the old site not complete. I still haven't gone back and finished transferring this page yet so peruse if you wish, but I noticed the pictures are all gone and the links...well, who can tell. Could be fun. http://www.Mary-Andrews.webs.com/mesightings.htm RESOURCE page (see menu above) This page contains three humongous sets of live links for writers. For years I've been collecting information from so many talented and professional people that I can't even begin to list them. Thing is, I knew I wasn't ready for much of it, but that I would need it eventually. So I created three files and kept them on my desktop. Every time someone shared a nugget of wisdom, I cut, pasted, and categorized it. It is a long and ongoing collection and I like to share. The three categories are: LEARNING THE ART, GETTING PUBLISHED, and SELF PROMOTION. I try to check the sites every years so they should all be active. I'd appreciate a heads up if anyone finds expired links, though. Enjoy. GYPSY RESEARCH page (still under reconstruction) Contains info and documentation links about medieval Gypsies (Rom). The information originally was intended for use in the Society of Creative Anachronisms but the Roma, as they are currently know, are interesting in their own right, and the persona article is also applicable as a treatise on how to design as well as portray a character. ALSO, the Roma of the future play a pivotal roll in The Fireborn Chronicles series--especially book 3, The Fireborn Chronicles: Revelations.

Below is an excerpt from an interview with Ruth Pennebaker, producer of the PBS Series STATE OF TOMORROW. She requested the interview as a follow up to my appearance on the sixth episode, "DIABETES AND OBESITY". Both the episode and interview should still be available at http://www.stateoftomorrow.com/features/mary andrews.htm Tell me about your novel.
The first book of THE FIREBORN CHRONICLES has been released in both eBook and trade paperback. It is a science fiction story that takes place in a future where The Universal Government has offered a solution to most planets biggest problem: criminal and nonproductive members of society. Each planet remains free to determine for themselves what constitutes an unacceptable faction. Then The Universal Government will remove them, and employ them on the Hive Planet. Workers of the Hive are addicted to a wonderful and all-encompassing drug which can only be earned by working, thus converting each planet's formerly unproductive and dangerous elements into a universal workforce that provides the ultimate interplanetary temp service across a truly universal web. Since its creation, only one person has ever escaped the Hive Planet: A newborn, fully implanted with compu-link interface temple plates, but not yet introduced to the drug. He now leads a Dark Ops unit for The Gov on a mission to uncover a psionic ring of criminals who have inexplicably mind-jacked an important Government Ambassador. What they find will change the universe. This is book 1 of the series. It contains three short stories which introduce the main characters as they are recruited to the Nemesis Team. Then in a novella-length mission, they meet another and their real adventure begins. FYI: In high school, I remember reading an epic poem, The People, Yes by Carl Sandburg. It spoke of the resilience and power that resides within us. This is my favorite passage: This old anvil has seen many broken hammers All of my characters are at home in flame, hence the
title.

THE FIREBORN CHRONICLES REVELATIONS Available in Trade Paperback & Author's Edition Ebook 
The prophecy tells of their arrival. After Earth's destruction, humans have scattered and spread across the universe. The peace is kept by a universal government.
Four rogue talents unite to become an invincible Government dark ops team--the Nemesis Team. But an unknown planet has turned up; a planet ruled by Oracles whose agents may be usurping The Government and suddenly, nothing is what it seems. Upon meeting the star-faring Roma and the inhabitants of the mysterious Oracle Planet, complications begin to pile up. Together the Fireborn are keepers of the peace, of the past, and of the future. Prophesy dictates they will save the Oracle Planet, but how are these reluctant heroes and their uneasy allies expected to save a planet with an asteroid bearing down on it? Ride along as they find how slavery can be liberating, power can enslave, and clairvoyance can bite you on the... hindmost parts. --Joe D. Trent

The Fireborn Chronicles by Mary Andrews
I'm not really one for blasting people with ads, but with all the research I've been doing, I couldn't help but wonder why the wondrous advancements in science haven't been better publicized. So I started posting them as I found them. Of course, many of the subjects I list actually may apply to the two books I'm writing now, but that's just gravy. Check out my "Book Page". and know that truth is stranger than fiction.

I've finally started setting up my Bible project. I'm looking for artists or groups of students to help illustrate. It's meant to be used as a Bible study guide for parents and their children, teachers and their students, or just anyone who might like to sit and contemplate the word.
The coloring pages are free to download for non-commercial purposes. I've set the project up at http://bible-project.deviantart.com/gallery/ because it is an artist community and might help me find more volunteers. Pages are free and downloadable there.
Artists will be asked to respectfully render B&W illustrations from the unaltered text of the King James version of the Bible in any style of art. I did the first chapter of Genesis in doodle art style to make this point. I have plenty of chapters left and will try to accept all skill levels. This is a labor of love.
Please check out the BIBLE-PROJECT deviant art site as well. Anyone interested can contact me though this site or email me at [email protected] .
