I wrote Malcolm because I wanted a hero with every reason not to help.
He doesn't make a speech. He doesn't have a big moment.
He just mutters "I don't like bullies," turns around mid-jog, and goes back.
Most courage looks like that.

@medline7.bsky.social you can always send a quote for 10 minutes.
Malcolm Dow's father died a hero — gave his life saving a white officer in 1947 America.
Malcolm learned from that. Kept his head down. Stayed invisible.
Until he couldn't anymore.

What do you do when doing the right thing could end your career?

The Women Who Changed History (And the World Never Knew Their Names)
In 1947, while the world's attention was fixed on Roswell, two women were quietly doing the most important work in human history.
The Woundless War is actually novella 6 of 6, but you can read it as a stand alone. If you want the whole story you probably want the "From Roswell to Area 51" novel.
Thanks Rob! That's a great suggestion — I'll check them out. Do you know if they're open to interconnected series novellas, or are they looking for standalone short fiction?
Thanks! :-)
Thanks Bee! Honest answer — as an indie author I can't afford an illustrator for every social post. My book covers are professionally designed — anything that directly earns revenue is made by paid humans. AI just helps me keep social content visually consistent with my stories.
In the middle of a war, the aliens ask permission to send doctors to heal the enemy.
I was tired of sci-fi where the answer is always a bigger weapon.
So I wrote an alien who asks to send doctors to the enemy. In the middle of a war.
That's the kind of story I want to tell.

The aliens want to send doctors to heal the enemy.
General, with all the new weapons you are creating, the Zalma council is worried about the safety of the Moad.
Most sci-fi asks: what happens when we go to war with aliens? Earth's Secret Alliance asks: what happens when we go to war FOR them? And what if they won't let you hurt anyone — not even the enemy? That's not weakness. That's the hardest kind of strength there is. books2read.com/TheWoundlessWar
That's not weakness. That's the hardest kind of strength there is.

General Frank Jones was given one job: protect an alien race that can't fight for themselves. Captain Agugua pilots the ship he's on — and believes no one should be hurt.

JUNIOR WRITING CONTEST WINNER
Waldertier By Wilmer Kaether. Along the path, I saw lush grasslands stretching as far as I could see, dotted here and there with bright yellow flowers and tall, leafy trees. There was no wildlife, except for the occasional birdsong or hum of an insect. There wasn't…
