Based on Fulton Station, Chief Skip Brown heads the Crab Nebula Sector Police Force which includes his hard working homicide detectives. Lieutenant Hill, his newest rookie detective, is a royal pain in his side but the two end up on Nestor, a planet fixated on its "car" racing. Nestor is hosting the end of the year Racing Circuit Championship. Drivers from the entire Humanoid Federation participate. Skip's brother is the top contender but the Chief learns his brother is embroiled in a nightmare blackmail scheme. What starts out a simple suicide investigation becomes a full blown murder mess. It's up to Chief Brown and his rookie Lt. Hill to solve the murders before they, themselves, become its latest victims. Pj Belanger has spent a good part of her life in the scenic hills of Connecticut. She was always an avid reader. "My father collected every bit of Science Fiction he could find- we would talk for hours on the subject. The Golden Age of Science Fiction is truly a love of mine. Great writers from Heinlein to Jose Farmer to Asimov to Bloch were my idols. They were great story tellers something that influences my own work. Of course, then came Tolkien and I was hooked on fantasy too." After graduating from St. Francis College (UNE) in Maine, she worked in the fast pace newpaper advertising world but always had been a writer of short stories, novel length books of fiction, romance and general interest. Her work is a mixture of a three volume book series, The Houses of Storem filled with wizards, dwarfs, merrs, elfs, heroic Kings and albino Icelanders. Her Space Dectective series is just plain good sci fi fun as is her short story book. Pj was deeply involved in writing local NASCAR Driver Profiles and has a book on The History of Stafford Speedway. "I love racing in general, but I really love the short tracks. It was a labor of love to write the racing books and I enjoyed writing a regular racing column for a local sports newspaper." Pauline lives in Florida with husband, her life is enhanced by a trouble making miniature beagle and a mischievous cat.
