I do find that I get less blocked if the whole story is already planned. Rebecca: What inspired you to write your novel, Haven 6?Īubrie: This is the final book in the series, so I wanted it to be epic and tie in all the loose threads from the prequel and the first two books, which is not an easy task! I also wanted it to take place on a jungle planet, following the way Star Wars moved from a desert planet, to an ice world, to a jungle planet.Īubrie: I used to be a panster, but now I have to turn in a synopsis to my agent and my publisher before I get too far into the story if I want it to get read in a decent amount of time. My students liked the stories so much they used to urge me to write them down. Rebecca: When did you first start writing? What made you want to be a writer?Īubrie: I’d always wanted to be a professional flutist, and when I started teaching, I made up stories to go along with the music and make it come alive for my students. While Striver battles with trusting Eri, Eri must decide whether to warn him and his people about the commander’s intentions, or follow orders and complete her mission. Striver helps Eri rescue her team and they are drawn to each other despite their different allegiances. When Eri’s team lands, tribes of humans attack and Eri is saved by Striver, the descendant of a colonist and a pirate from Old Earth’s colonization efforts in other parts of the galaxy.

Commander Grier assigns Eri to the exploratory team to spy on the alien society and return with information on how to defeat them. As the ship nears it’s final destination of Haven 6 after five hundred years of travel, images of the surface show evidence of intelligent life on a planet that’s supposed to be uninhabited. Not familiar with the series?
