Star Alliance - A Novel in the Making

Star Alliance is a story about a young boy named Tarl - a child genius, who is accepted into the the worlds first Space Academy.

Without giving too much away by having it posted here (as you don't want the story spoiled),  there is a complete Overview of each major event that happens throughout the life of Tarl, from the young boy receiving his training at the academy, through to becoming a commander and leader of the Star Alliance.

This story will be written over a trilogy of books. Part one (which is currently being written), will be called: Star Alliance - The Academy.

This is a Sci-Fi Adventure with bonds of friendship, epic space battles, a decade long Ground war and a lifetime of difficulties and struggles as Tarl faces a brutal and relentless enemy, watches as others around him are lost while against all odds gaining the loyalty and strength of others to take you beyond a simple story and into the realm of Star Alliance.

More about the Author:

My name is Stephen Johnson.  I am a 31 year old Imports Manager working for a Wholesaler in Australia.  As a child I was told bedtime stories by my father that would ignite my imagination.  He would often just make these stories up on the spot and literally, anything could happen. I can confidently say that it is because of him that I have such a desire to imagine so many stories of my own.

I have written a few shorter stories here and there, non of which I have taken too seriously and none of which have been published, just had to get them out of me, however, Star Alliance has been in the making for many years.

As I would lay in bed at night, epic battles would take place in my mind and over time, an entire universe was created and the story of Tarl began to form. I really want to share this with those who are interested but I am finding it difficult to get it all out. After all I am not a very good writer and in fact, I was pretty much a D student at English.

While my English or flow of story writing may not suit many people, I have written the way I would like to read something... sometimes very simple and sometimes a little strange. Of course, as the story progresses, it will need to be edited, and maybe even re-written but for now, I'll just type in my own style until that time comes.

I hope to be able to use this blog to encourage myself to complete this adventure and be able to share it with others out there.  I will hopefully post progress updates on the story as time goes by to be able to keep those of you who have an interest, up to date.

If I can't find a publisher, I will have this fully edited, and printed even if it means I have to get this done myself through various "Pay to Print" publishers.

As a first Progress update. I have currently written the first 12 Chapters which comprise of 30,000 words. I have a full list of things that happen throughout the story and am using this as a guideline to follow the complete storyline.

For now, I am just going to keep writing.  I know I often get distracted and time can get away from me but I hope to write at least a little something every week (or more), to get this story finished.  Hopefully I can finish this sooner rather then later.

Wish me Luck!
