Hi, I am J Thomas Hunton. Author of several SciFi novels, including Displacement, Displacement: Time Matters, Marscape Revisited, and Annunaki.

I was brought up in a small town located in the beautiful state of Maine. It was there that I learned how to hunt and fish, the enjoyment of hiking through fields and forests, and just being a kid.

After a family breakup, I discovered a way to express myself through writing poetry and short stories. My eighth-grade teacher saw my potential and expressed her thought that I would someday be a writer. I didn't take it seriously, and life got in the way.

We moved to Amarillo, Texas, when I was 15, and after a short stint in High school there, I decided it was time to leave.

When I turned 17, I joined the US Army. I was in the Army Security Agency. They sent me to Okinawa, Japan, where my job was to copy Morse code. I did what any young man in the Army did: I spent a lot of time in the bars in between shifts.

When I returned home to Maine on leave, I met a young lady named Frances, but after only a few dates, I had to travel to Fort Hood, Texas, for my next assignment. We corresponded through letters and phone calls while I was there (The old way of doing things when there were no cellphones or computers).

In 1978, I left the Army to pursue life outside the service. Frances turned 18 and joined me in Texas that year. I briefly went to college, pursuing an electrical engineering degree while I worked part-time at several jobs. Frances also worked, but we were unable to make enough money to live. In 1979, I decided to take matters into my own hands and joined the US Navy.

We were married in 1979, and I was shipped off to Great Lakes, Illinois, the day after our marriage. It was several months before she could join me there. I went to school for Electronics, and after 9 months of schooling, I was shipped off to Brunswick, Maine, for my first assignment. Frances had our son Lucas there.

Many assignments followed: Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, NAS Key West, Sardinia, Italy, NAS Sigonella, Sicily, and finally back to the States at NAS South Weymouth, Massachusetts.

I retired from the Navy in 1996 as a Chief Petty Officer.

In 2002, I published my first ever novel called Marscape. Although it didn't do well, I learned from the experience. I fell ill shortly after that and did not pursue any further writing. We moved to Pensacola, Florida in 2003.

When I felt OK, I worked several jobs in the carpentry and pool building industry. But I went on disability in 2011. We moved back to Massachusetts in 2016 to be near our Son and our grandchildren.

In 2019, I lost Frances to cancer. It was a depressing time. Loss of a spouse after 40 years of marriage, is a gut-wrenching experience.

I met my eighth-grade girlfriend, who had lost her spouse a year before Frances died, and we kicked off another love affair. We married in 2022. We now live in Florida.

I restarted my love for writing in 2024 with the publication of 'Displacement I', quickly followed by 'Displacement: Time Matters' in 2025. There are a couple more novels on their way to publication, 'Marscape Revisited', which is a republication of my original 'Marscape' with a new and exciting ending. And 'Annunaki' which is a historical fiction based on the books by Alexander Sitchin.

That's my life in a nutshell. It's been good overall. It is my intention now to write more novels until I can no longer do so. I am 67, so who knows how long that will be.

I hope you enjoy my novels. Please give me some feedback in the form of reviews on Amazon.com or Goodreads.com, I would appreciate it.

The cosmos beckoned to Georgia Evans, captain of the intrepid starship Asteria, and her stalwart crew. With the revolutionary temporal drive primed, they set a daring course to vault 2000 years into the future. But the fickle tides of spacetime had other plans. A disastrous malfunction hurled them not forward but backward - a staggering 100,000 years into Earth's primordial past and 5 light years from their home world, near the ominous red dwarf Proxima Centauri.

Their onboard AI, ARIA, had inexplicably failed, contributing to the catastrophic spatial error. As the crew grappled with this reversal of fortunes, a bizarre temporal rift exerted its inescapable pull, drawing the Asteria towards a massive artificial structure orbiting a star - a gargantuan Dyson Ring. Alien craft swarmed them, immobilizing the ship with tractor beams before transporting the humans to an eerie chamber.

There, a strange alien presence coalesced before them - the enigmatic Defenders. They revealed a harrowing tale of cosmic devouring forces known as the Void Eaters, an implacable scourge bent on extinguishing all existence. The Defenders' sole hope rested on the Asteria's revolutionary temporal drive to generate an impenetrable barrier and halt the Void Eaters' cataclysmic advance.

In a desperate gambit, the Defenders integrated the human technology with their own, birthing a shimmering temporal membrane that enveloped the ravaged cosmos. The Void Eaters' insatiable hunger was stymied, their path of destruction arrested. As the cosmic maelstrom subsided, the Defenders extended a bittersweet offer - the crew could remain to safeguard this fragile reprieve. Paul and Dr. Chen accepted, while Georgia and the others chose to return aboard the Asteria.

The Defenders' technology propelled them back to Proxima Centauri's vicinity. On the desolate world of Proxima b, Georgia established a toehold for humanity but yearned to explore further. Proxima c, just outside the habitable zone, beckoned with the tantalizing promise of alien civilizations. A reconnaissance probe, however, awoke a terrifying leviathan that dragged the Asteria itself from the skies in a furious bombardment.
