George Ebey, BA ’98, Barberton, OH, wrote: “ My book DEBBI & Other Stories in the Helen of Mars Universe (Glass House Nocturnal, December 2020), is now available in paperback. This collection of stories and novellas is set in the world of a future Mars where rovers are controlled by Earthbound operators in a high-stakes game for ultimate power.
Previously available as an e-book, I’m super excited that it has made its way into paperback for the first time. If you’re new to the series, this is a great place to start. Work on the second book in the Helen of Mars series, along with a new tie-in novella, is well underway and will follow in 2023. See www.ebeybooks.com.”
