Cygnus Space Opera (set in the Free Trader Universe) Book 1 - Cygnus Rising Book 2 - Cygnus Expanding Book 3 - Cygnus Arrives I'm retired from the Marine Corps, spending time both as enlisted and as an officer. Then I went to law school, took my law degree into business consulting where I became a business diagnostics specialist and leadership coach. I retired from that at age 52 because I was away from home way too much. That's when I started writing full time, and I have not looked back since. This is a great ride! I have a variety of stories now since I've been at this for a little while, lots of short stories so you can see if you like my style. I have a number of best selling novels in categories that matter to me - space opera, military scifi, Space Marine, colonization, and genetic engineering. As a serial daydreamer, it's nice to finally get the stories on paper (virtual and digital paper, that is).Visit my web page, craigmartelle.com for the latest posts and updates or find me on Facebook, Author Craig Martelle.
