L. Lynn Gray, Author
The 21st century here on Earth is a tough place. The news is relentlessly dark as we collectively struggle with challenges to democracy, our changing climate, wars with devastating death tolls, and corporate greed that seems to steamroll everything that’s left. It’s easy to be cynical and to write novels in a grimdark reflection. But my antidote is to focus on the good and amazing parts of humanity, with science, with love, and with compassion. I don’t sugar coat the bad stuff, this isn’t about being a polyanna. But in my books and in my short reflections, I choose to see the good in the world, and the complicated people trying to make it a better place — and succeeding. I write the wins I want to see reflected back into our own world.

The Dementia
In the vast void between stars, the generation ships Destiny, Peace, Grace, and Hope experience a sudden and inexplicable jolt — an earthquake that shakes the cities within to their foundations.
Jacks, Amita, and Nayeli, the radio operators who keep open lines of communication between the ships find themselves at the center of the maelstrom as damage reports flood in. With air and water systems failing and riots breaking out, they are in a race between finding solutions and the collapse of their entire collective civilization.
Its Apollo 13 meets The Martian meets The Expanse in a gripping adventure from the tiny radio station to the bowls of the gravity well, where the only way to save themselves is to save each other.
