I write space adventures for readers who believe the future can be better than today.

In my universe, people try to do the right thing—even when it's complicated. Ships break down at the worst moments. Cats have opinions. And sometimes, the family you choose saves the universe (or at least a small corner of it).

If you're tired of grimdark futures and military hierarchies, pull up a chair. We do things differently here.

I'd love to share a story with you: Start with my novella CARGO TROUBLE-- It's my gift to new readers. (also may be found on nickypenttila.com and other major retailers)
