Stillwater Writer’s Group to Host Neil Mavis, a Tulsa, Oklahoma author of Deorbit the Space Shuttle: Stem Cell Rescue
Mr. Mavis will discuss the storyboarding process that lead to creating the book, and also the process of publishing a fiction novel. The meeting is open to any writer interested in writing or getting published.
(PRWEB) February 12, 2005 -- “… blood spraying the white cabin walls of Space
Shuttle Atlantis flashed across television screens worldwide” begins this
near-future techno-thriller, a provocative novel by Neil Mavis that dramatizes
the terrifying possibilities of a space shuttle rescue mission gone awry. The
novel highlights the Achilles heel of the NASA space shuttle fleet. (Heuristic
Publishing; Publication Date: June 30, 2005; $16.95 ISBN 0-9763863-0-5). Space
shuttle Atlantis is stranded when “the Achilles heel of the space shuttle - a
single point of failure - has been damaged.” Mavis verified the shuttle’s
Achilles heel during discussions with a NASA space shuttle commander. The author
has made available free reading of the first seven chapters at http://www.deorbit.com/
