Afterword Thank you for reading. I hope you enjoyed Merit and Kalini’s story. They were a blast to write. So much fun, in fact, that my planned 35k word outline ballooned into 60k. Characters kept introducing themselves. Ulmer and Birn were an unexpected surprise, and I suspect they might have a story of their own. I’m on the fence if that story involves Amity or not. Corra might look a bit familiar. It is the same world that I used in Delivered to the Aliens. I got excited by the idea of further exploring a post-environmental disaster planet, with mail-order-brides. Why not? The book also takes place in the same universe as my Alpha Aliens of Fremm stories, which is the planet Sigald and Belith are from. I love short stories!
