The Backworlds is here!
The first story in the Backworlds series by M. Pax.
After the war with Earth, bioengineered humans scatter across the Backworlds.
Competition is fierce and pickings are scant. Scant enough that Craze’s father decides to
hoard his fortune by destroying his son. Cut off from family and friends, with little money,
and even less knowledge of the worlds beyond his own, Craze heads into an uncertain
future. Boarding the transport to Elstwhere, he vows to make his father regret this day.

she shares her home with two cats and a husband unit. Creative sparks also come from
Pine Mountain Observatory where she spend her summers working as a star guide. She
writes mostly science fiction and fantasy, but confesses to an obsession with Jane Austen.
She blogs at her website,

The blogiverse is buzzing with this news today! I've seen it on quite a few blogs - congrats to M.Pax!
With Michael Offutt and MPax, yesterday was a big one for sci fi!
Congratulations to Mary! :)
Interesting video:)
Very impressive video to launch the book. And I am not a sci-fi fan, too hard-edged and frightening to me, as I wallow in the past of Downton Abbey or pre-revolutionary Russia. But I appreciate good writing whatever the genre.
Congrats Mary!!!
Love the video! Excited for Mary, for sure:)
Happy weekend!
