C.L. Carey Book Launch

Join author C.L. Carey for the Saskatoon launch of her debut novel Spaced! (Renaissance Press).

This event will be held live in the Travel Alcove and also available as a simultaneous YouTube stream.

"Only fifty Earthlings remain in the galaxy, and I hate every one of them."

Sha-ne, a Martian teen, finds herself floating in a tin can high above Mars on the day everything blew up - literally. She was just getting settled on the engineering ship with her AI companion, about to meet her mentor and the only other Martian on board, when the colony on Mars burns to the ground, wiping out her entire civilization.

Now Sha-ne has no choice but to join a group of Earthlings who've taken command of the ship, for all of them to survive. Only, she's not sure she can trust Earthlings to do anything right. Especially these rebels. As Sha-ne and the rebels search other dead cryo ships for supplies, they learn more about the truth behind the disaster that befell the colony and come to realize...nothing is as it seems.

C.L. Carey is the pen name of Christina Robins, in honour of her grandfather and mother who encouraged her love of creating and telling stories since she was very young. She enjoys creating new worlds of wonder and characters that will resonate with her readers. She hopes her writing will start important conversations that relate to the present times we live in. She feels that being autistic gives her the ability to see the world in a different way and write characters that face a variety of challenges with humour and heart. She currently lives in Saskatchewan on the prairies with her artist and chef husband and rescue cats.
