A third possible cover for my first G1 novel.

I liked this one because the title is simpler and the eye has the clock in it indicated time was involved in the story and of course, the scaly skin, indicating something alien.

It's an invasion, but is it the first or the next time? Is it from the past or the future?

This old fifties movie is integral to the third novel of my new G1 novel series. And in what way? A give you a few hints...it's not robots....it's not flying saucers...but there is flying...there is an invasion...but from where?

Captain Henderson Higgins: G1, The Bureau of Extraordinary Investigations

Captain Henderson Higgins: G1, The Bureau of Extraordinary Investigations

Age: Late twenties. 

Tall woman. 

Athletic. 

Cocky. 

Full of piss and vinegar. 

Not afraid of a challenge.

Gorgeous but in a down home sort of way. 

Not into heavy makeup or fancy clothing; though she can make any clothing look like a million dollars.

Top agent for G1. Usually pairs with Colonel March Edwards.

Officially they go by their proper ranks and names.

Unofficially she and the Colonel go by Higgins and March.

Shifters -- a G1 novel title cover...maybe.

One version of the cover for my first G1 novel. It has some big clues in it about what the story is about.

Ming the Merciless

Ming the Merciless from the Flash Gordon serials and movies of the thirties. Definitely an over the top villain and not likable on any level.

The Crimson Ghost is a pre-modern villain.

Villains have been in the movies, TV and radio for decades. In the older media pieces villains were usually these over the top kind of people...Goldfinger, as one instance from the James Bond movies...the Crimson Ghost from the Republic chapter play series and the evil robber, cattle barons of the old Westerns starring John Wayne. Roy Rogers and Gene Autry to name a few of the also, over the top heroes.

I've always loved the various genre for their attempts to tell a good story using villains that seem ordinary enough on the outside, but on the inside, they're pretty nasty.

So why not combine the best of the best?

Heroes who won't stand out in a crowd.

And a villain...or is it villains?...who represent a different aspect of man...one so intent on survival of their own purpose in life that they can go to extreme we would find totally repulsive to consider. That is, those of us who are sane.

Clues to the G1 novel coming out soon.

Meanwhile, breakfast, calm down my screaming birds and back to finishing the third novel and editing the second.

Have a great day all!

H.G. Wells and his Time Machine helped build this story.

Herbert George Wells has always been one of my most favorite authors. His ability to see into the future of humanity and its foibles, the scientific technology remains astounding to this day.

What better building block to use for my first G1 novel.

But in this case, it is not some lonely inventor seeking the future, but someone...some thing... else seeking our present.

Coming Soon!
