In a galaxy where murder is unheard of … are secrets, lies, and donuts worth killing for?
When ex-cop Pete Stewart goes on the hunt for somewhere in space to call his own, the last thing he expects is to wind up hunting a murderer.
But if Pete’s long-term boyfriend, drag queen and part-time nurse Kevin Murphy, says the wrong robot has been convicted, Pete believes him.
Lore may be hostile and grumpy, but the evidence pointing in her direction is flimsy at best. Besides, it’s not like there’s any shortage of suspects or motives to murder Elsie, Donut Station’s unpopular owner.
With everyone hiding something, Pete will need to sleuth fast to save Lore from being reprogrammed for a murder she didn’t commit.
Or perhaps not so fast when the pursuit becomes the galaxy’s stupidest low-speed chase ever.
Whether it’s warp speed or low speed, if there’s one thing Pete can’t stand, it’s injustice…

Why should I buy direct from the author?
When I published my first book in January 2020, someone at work laughed and asked me when I was going to quit my job.
There’s this perception out there that authors are wealthy people. And I’m sure the big names (e.g. Richard Osman, Stephen King, John Scalzi, etc.) are doing just fine.
But it’s not like that for indie authors. It’s tough out there. There are great, amazing things about being an indie author. But most of us aren’t making bank.
You know who is making money out of books? Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon.
You may have noticed a move in recent years of indie authors selling their books directly to you. There’s a reason for that.
If you buy a book for 0.99 from Amazon, the author gets to keep maybe 0.26 of that. Maybe. It depends on the file size. And they won’t even get that for around 3 months. But if you buy a book from an author for 0.99, the author gets to keep around 0.83. And we get that money within days.
Because that first book I mentioned? Four years later, it hasn’t come close to paying for itself.
If you can’t buy direct, libraries are a great way to get books for free while still helping authors get their fair share.
What's the deal with audiobooks?
This book will be available as an audiobook just as soon as I have the funds available. I'm a big believer in inclusivity and accessibility. Ideally, I want all my books available in all formats. But, from a pragmatic standpoint, they're expensive to produce.
