Hi. My name is Mary Andrews. I write paranormal science fiction which I call Psionic sci fi:
THE INEVITABLE FUSION OF MAN, MACHINE, THE PARANORMAL, AND NOW, THE SUPERNATURAL.
Welcome to my worlds.

LUBBOCK BOOK FESTIVAL 2023 November 4-5 Cotton Court Hotel downtown Lubbock theme: Golden Age Hollywood Saturday Sunday TITLES, BLURBS & LINKS BOOK I THE FIREBORN CHRONICLES FIREBORN FOUND Available in Trade Paperback & Ebook 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. Though originally directed towards the need to form unions in America, It beautifully illuminated 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.

I am currently the 4th Director of the Write Right Critique Group,
which has been in existence for over 25 years in Lubbock, Texas. We meet every Tuesday night at Maxey Community Center. There are no fees. Our membership includes both novice writers and published authors of all genres. 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 books I'm writing now, but that's just gravy. Check out my FB book page and know that truth is stranger than fiction.
UPCOMING EVENTS
Since 2012, the Write Right Critique group has had a booth on near the Civic Center Theater on the pedestrian walkway at the Lubbock Arts Festival. In it, we host a WRITE WITH THE WRITERS table for kids to sit down and write a story with us.
Our getting-larger each-year. MEET THE AUTHORS tables allow our published members to visit with readers, as well as sell and autograph their books. Drop by, meet local Authors, buy our books, and let the kids Write With The Writers at our kid-stop. |

The massive asteroid bearing down on the planet is unstoppable and with little more than half a century left to save the human race, drastic measures are set in motion. An infallible set of Oracles —Roma triplets, mere teens—enact a world-wide plan. and, Eric Barrow, the last vampire on Earth, is coerced to build the first base on the Moon.

THE KING JAMES BIBLE COLORING BOOK PROJECT |
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] .
