Sinopsis:

Acerca del autor: Marcha Fox's credentials as a science fiction writer include a bachelor of science degree in physics from Utah State University followed by a 21 year career at NASA where she held a variety of positions including technical writer, engineer and eventually manager. Her NASA experiences included trips to Cape Canaveral in Florida, visiting other NASA centers in Mississippi, Alabama and Maryland as well as trips to the European Space Agency in The Netherlands but the most memorable was the sad task of helping to recover space shuttle debris in East Texas following the tragic Columbia accident in 2003. Her writing combines her knowledge of engineering and physics with modern scientific theories including speculations regarding other dimensions and quantum theory, particularly as it relates to the human mind. These provide a backdrop for the Star Trails series and the exploits of the Brightstar family along with a variety of alien and mechanical personalities, all trying to survive in a hostile world amid scientific and political intrigue. Her approach of including accurate science in additional to speculation allows readers not only to learn such principles painlessly but they don't have to "unlearn" incorrect ones later. "Science fiction inspired me to pursue a degree in physics," she states. "I hope to do the same for today's readers." Beyond the Hidden Sky is the first volume with the second, A Dark of Endless Days, and third, A Psilent Place Below, also available. The final volume is expected sometime in 2014. More information on the stories including a convenient glossary of terms and definitions is available at www.kallioperisingpress.com. Never at a loss for something to do, her study of the heavens continues in yet another realm, that of astrology. "Just because the scientists can't explain how it works doesn't mean it doesn't. What they fail to tell you in astronomy class is that Kepler, Galileo, Copernicus and Newton were all astrologers on a quest to obtain more accurate data." She sees no conflict with modern science other than the fact that technology has not yet advanced far enough to determine how it works. Her astrology clients span the globe, accessing her through her website at www.valkyrieastrology.com. She is the mother of six grown children, 17 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren and currently makes her home in the Texas Hill Country.
