M. Pax


Biography

I spend my summers as a star guide at Pine Mountain Observatory in stunning Central Oregon where I live with the husband unit and two spoiled, loving cats. I enjoy writing science fiction most.

When I'm not writing or looking at stars, I enjoy photography, pilates, astronomy and old science fiction movies. And, I confess to an obsession with Jane Austen.

    A traditional-styled space opera, Nexus Point takes you on a non-stop adventure.

    I will never look at corn the same way again. Creepy and suspenseful. The story built from so innocent and everyday to a nightmare. Fun story and great writing.
  • Hunting The Five on Dec. 07, 2011
    star star star star star
    Gritty, imaginative and entertaining, Hunting the Five is a great read. Action-packed and reminiscent of King's Gunslinger. I loved that the demon's weren't human. The author came up with really creative scenarios, places so foreign, alien and fantastic. Leaves me wondering about De La Roca's past and what lies in her future. Look forward to the next installment.
