The Onepian Chronicles 1: Quest for Onepus

Kicking off The Onepian Chronicles is Quest for Onepus. Oh, this sweet and wonderful story of two people whose lives will change forever once they meet. Is it fate or coincidence? Doesn't really matter when love is involved...

Traveling alone on his spaceship, Larson doesn’t expect to have to rescue a beautiful pilot out of the sky. Unbeknownst to him, Tawni is the princess of the wealthy planet Onepus.

Generous-hearted Tawni has been running supplies to Semerde—a microplanet full of orphans and desperate for resources and caretakers—when her cruiser breaks down. Unbeknownst to her, that's where Larson grew up and where he swore he'd never go back to.

Larson agrees to drop her on the closest planet, but on their way, they meet the Rysons, a sweet family having problems with their ship. Meanwhile, Tawni and Larson secretly struggle over their growing attraction for each other.

When Larson and Tawni discover the truth behind their identities, will they be able to overcome their differences and let their love blossom? What will happen to Semerde?

Fun fact about this book: I actually wrote this around 12 years ago. I had meant to write a short story, maybe a 7,000 word thing about a guy who learns how to love. What I actually wrote was a 25,000 word novella that started an 8-book series! After having spent many years writing the series (and other books), getting better at writing, and actually publishing books, I decided to come back to this one. It needed a major facelift for sure, but I was happy to give Larson and Tawni the story they deserved. 

I hope you love this story as much as I loved writing it. The whole series is very close to my heart, but there's something about this one, this very first story I ever conceived of. I also just love Larson and Tawni's personalities. They're so different from each other, but isn't variety the spice of life? After all, you'd never eat a cherry pie without the cherry filling, right?
