Step Into The Universe of Blue Light

Praise for Blue Light

“I wanted to take a moment to write a short but over-the-top recommendation for Tessa, a female writer who I have had the pleasure of working with recently. Tessa is an incredibly talented writer who has a unique ability to tackle tough and sensitive topics with grace and fearlessness. She wades into topics that most people would shy away from, not only engaging with them but also bringing a unique perspective that is both refreshing and thought provoking. One thing that really stands out about Tessa’s writing is her ability to create entire universes in just a few paragraphs. It is truly amazing! The way she paints vivid pictures with her words is nothing short of miraculous, and it’s impossible not to get lost in her brilliant storytelling.”

Praise for Blue Light

“In a hybrid planetary system connected to Earth by a wormhole, evil lurks. Dr. Tan a brilliant but outcast geneticist successfully breeds a half-human, half-praying mantis female. So successful that he becomes ‘prey’ to his own creation. Combine the intelligence, guile and the seductiveness of a beautiful woman and the speed, ruthlessness and appetite of a mantis, G7354 now roams free between planets. Worse yet, mastering the ability to shape shift has made undetectable until it is too late. With unparalleled survival instincts, she is hungry, horny and she’s on the move. Can she discover the wormhole? Who can stop her?”

She opens one eye as her tent zipper parts on both sides. He falls backwards, pulling it closed, rocking on oversized feet with a grunt, and then he is on her, his rough hands pawing her from her sleeping clothes, his whiskers gouging her soft skin.

Leaning over the narrow bed, he smoothed the pea-green blanket. There it was again, the whisper dancing on the wind. This time, he heard his name.
