Edward McKeown
I've enjoyed a life-long love affair with science fiction. I write believable
people in extraordinary situations, balancing romance, humor, adventure and
reasonable extrapolations of science in stories that I believe people will want
to return to. Whether it's in the short stories of my "Lair of the Lesbian Love
Goddess series" or in the Fenaday and Rainhell novels, classic "Planet" tales of
a crews of unlikely companions facing unknown dangers, my intent is to give the
reader the sort of page turning, involving adventure that Andre Norton wrote and
leaven it with the emotional complexity and ambiguity that CJ Cherryh brings to
the field.
While the experiences of the SF Universe are out of reach of those unable to pay for a
rocket ride, I use my own background to try for an underlying verity in my
characters. I?ve parachuted, flown in gliders, hang gliders and strapped to the floor of military helicopters. I?ve been rated as an expert shot and carry a black belt in the martial arts. I?ve been paralyzed by fear, exhilarated by love and walked into fights, both literal and metaphorical, that I knew I could not win. I have the good fortune to be married to the talented artist Schelly Keefer http://www.redskygallery.com/html/home.asp and her products are available at www.zazzle.com/schelly

Sensoria event! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOmotRTbDR0
Now Available in Kindle and soon Trade Paperback, the second book of the Fenaday/Rainhell Trilogy
"Having survived the nightmare world of Enshar, Robert
Fenaday abandons privateering and his quest for his lost wife to begin life
anew with the genetically engineered assassin, Shasti Rainhell. But spymaster
Mandela has other plans for the pair, intrigue and murder on Shasti’s home
planet of Olympia. Fenaday must fight his way to Shasti, facing her deadly
creator and an alien mystery that could destroy the Confederacy."
Foreword by Claudia Christian (Susan Ivanova from Bablyon 5)
Fearful Symmetry is well named. There is fear, as well as is hope in this fast-paced tale of action and thoughtful adventure. Edward McKeown has written a gripping story of espionage, assassination and interstellar conspiracy.
It’s also the story of a woman coming back to life metaphorically, in a tale of resurrection and redemption. So the book operates seamlessly on two levels at the same time.
Edward told me that Robert Fenaday was the main character of the Fenaday trilogy which began with Was Once a Hero, but it was Shasti Rainhell who captured my attention, especially in this second book where she is the focus of much of the story. Maybe I identified with her because, for all her genetically engineered strength and superiority, she is a woman, dealing with the issues that occur in so many women’s lives: a hard and ungiving childhood, abusive spouse, the fight
to find and retain one’s integrity in world that won’t extend recognition willingly. Her struggle spoke to me, as, if you have read my own book Babylon Confidential: A Memoir of Love, Sex, and Addiction then you know that I have dealt with more than my share of this.
For me, Shasti is the sort of character that I see too seldom in fiction. Many of the“woman warrior” characters do not seem to be actual women. As one writer I met complained, they just seem like “men with breasts.” Shasti manages to retain her essential femininity while provoking fear, sometimes panic in her enemies. She is powerful, independent, and intelligent, yet there is a longing in her for gentleness, for connection and even for love. She is at once an uncertain girl and a confident professional
fighter. Hey, maybe I can play her when Ed sells the movie rights! Seriously this is the type of character that appeals to me.
Like Susan Ivanova from Babylon 5, Shasti has a rich interior life and emotional complexities that make appealing, I sometimes found myself thinking how I would play her… well have to wait for the movie…
In the midst of star-spanning battles and action, Edward makes sure his people, not characters but people, as they seem very real to me, are always aware of the beauty of existence and the fragility of their own lives. One feels at any moment that each of them, Robert Fenaday, Shasti Rainhell, Telisan and his fiancées , Mmok, are all at hazard, each could be taken from the reader as so many people are taken from us in real life, without warning, or without our being ready for it. So read but be ready. Don’t look for stock characters who will effortlessly sail through adventures without being scarred, scared or changed by them. And like those self-same characters, breathe deep when the action pauses, look around at the stars, the ice-ring overhead or the friends that you are so lucky to have with you, protecting your back.
Be grateful for it all. Enjoy the read.

First Book of the Fenaday/Rainhell Trilogy through Hellfire Publicaton in Kindle and trade paperback
Reluctant privateer Robert Fenaday searches the stars for his lost love,
Lisa, a naval intelligence officer whose ship disappeared near the end of the
Conchirri War . He?s joined by the genetically engineered assassin, Shasti
Rainhell, whose cold perfection masks her dark past. Both are blackmailed by
government spymaster, Mandela, into a suicidal mission to the doomed planet
Enshar. Leading a team of scientists and soldiers, they must unravel the mystery
of that planet?s death before an ancient force reaches out to claim their
lives.
The classic Planet Stories of S/F have suffered abandonment,
without a rescuer, until now. Edward McKeown's "Was Once A Hero" combines
adventure and romance with the dark humor and human complexities absent from a
more black-and-white age. Robert Fenaday and Shasti Rainhell are real people.
They make mistakes, they hurt, they stumble in the dark emotionally, and they
save the world. They are flawed, wounded heroes, and they make you realize, as
you hungrily turn each page, that the best fiction contains excitement and
passion; and the best aspect of life is the possibility of personal redemption.
Was Once a Hero provides both." Tim McLoughlin, author of "Heart of the Old
Country" (Movie Title: The Narrows) and Editor of "Brooklyn Noir"

The Sha'Daa Anthology is finally for sale! The epic apocalyptic
adventure in which a group of writers share a world and characters will be brought to the world by Cyberwizard Publications imprint. The series created by Mike Hanson and edited with Edward McKeown begins the tale of the apocaplyptic struggle that rages every 10,000 years on Earth. This series embraces everything from soul-shaking horror to comedy as it follows the engagement between humanity and hell in unexpected corners of the world featuring an introduction by famed SF writer, Mike Resnick! http://www.sciencefictionpaperbackbo...the-apocalypse You can listen to the first story "The Dive" voiced by Kelly McKay http://www.beammeuppodcast.com/beam-me-up-328-dive-pt1-ed-mckeown-all-that-touches-air-con-an-owomoyela/ I was contacted by a visionary fellow named, Michael Hanson. He was making the rounds of small press writers and publishers, recruiting talent for a shared anthology called "The Sha? Daa." Mike?s concept was that an apocalyptic event occurs every 10,000 years when the forces of evil break across the dimensions to Earth. The next Sha? Daa? is due to break out only a few years into our future. Mike came up with about twenty scenarios for writers to pick from to do stories. It was in his mind that the battle to come would be fought in odd places, by unlikely heroes, and run the gamut from true horror to comedy. It sounded fascinating and I signed on, picking a theme of unionized sewer workers battling demons in the underside of New York City. A group of us began the Sha' Daa journey together. Not all of us made it. One died, another battled serious illness, one?s computer flamed and took the work and their heart out of the project. One withdrew rather than be edited. Some of us did double duty and picked up an additional story and added to the growing epic. Eventually we ended up with a quarter million words of Sha? Daa stories. We were in trouble. We?d not figured on the hardihood of our writers. Usually in such projects people talk big but don?t produce. Our Sha Daaists fought on, with writer after writer producing fine work, sometimes far in excess of the requested word count. I had been helping Mike behind the scenes on some of the editing when he realized that the mass of stories needed a more determined edit. To my surprise and great pleasure, Mike asked me to undertake it. I lost track of the hours I then invested in working the Sha? Daa". I was guided by one basic principle, "help the author tell THEIR story." It was a humbling and somewhat disturbing prospect for an author to take other people's words in hand, for all that I have been in critique groups for years and led one. I reached back into that experience, remembering how my groups were always my first defense against bad writing. I quickly realized that no matter what I did we did not have one book on our hands but two and so was born, Sha' Daa" Last Call The Sha' Daa," combines the vision of the following wonderful writers: Mike Hanson, Arthur Sanchez, Nancy Jackson, Edward McKeown, Lee Kuruganti, Deborah Koren, Wilson G Marsh, Jaime Schmidt, Duncan MacMaster, Adrienne Ray, Robert Adams, Tricia Ulaub, T. Anthony Truax, Terri Von Reiman, Robin Matheson and the late James Wasserman. Good reviews!! http://www.literalminded.com/story/b...les-apocalypse by Eric S.

My Outcast State is the story of the redemptive power of a friendship between Wrik Trigardt, disgraced pilot and Maauro, a 50,000-year-old combat android. Maauro is an ancient relic, who adopts the appearance of a young girl after Wrik discovers her on the asteroid base she assaulted millennia ago. They quickly become dependent on each
other for survival on Kandalor, a lawless part of the universe hostile to both.
