Thanks Kathie.
I just joined and I'm an author. I write mostly science fiction novels, but some of my shorts stories are regular fiction.

- About Me
- I'm 35 years old, a Christian, pursuing a BA in English at Midwestern State in Wichita Falls, TX. I would love to work as an editor, proofreader, full time novelist, ghostwriter, or anything involving the written word.
First time published was a short story I wrote for high school Creative Writing class called "Role Reversal." It won 3rd in a magazine contest. I wrote other short stories and submitted them to Star Trek New Worlds contests and the Writer's of the Future contests. My first published novella, a time travel sci-fi story is "Out of Time" published in 2008. "Don't Mess With Earth" is a sci-fi novel published in 2009.
- My Published Books or Favorite Books
- My published books: Don't Mess With Earth and Out of Time.
My favorites: The S.M. Stirling "Novels of the Change," Harry Turtledove's Crosstime Traffic series, American Empire Series(all those books after Guns of the South), and any of his alternate history novels, the Eric Flint 1632 Ring of Fire series. I also like Star Trek, Tom Clancy, Michael Crichton, Time LaHaye/Jerry B. Jenkins and the whole Left Behind Series.

Summary:
Advanced humans, calling themselves Terrans, leave a highly corrupt and mostly primitive Earth to search out a new planet to inhabit. Once on a new planet, they begin exploring the rest of the galaxy and begin watching over their more primitive human cousins back on Earth. Some Terrans are well known in human history, people such as King Arthur, Galileo, Genghis Khan, and Amelia Earhart. The Terrans come across an alien species, called the Ragnor, that experiment on other species for no reason other than that they can. The Ragnor discover Earth by accident and start their abductions and experiments on the first set of humans they come across, the colonists on Roanoke Island. The Ragnor continue to cause mayhem and mischief on Earth, eventually getting shot down over Roswell, New Mexico. Once the humans on Earth figure out they're being manipulated by both sides, President Truman has the United States embark on a plan to pay back both the Terrans and the Ragnor with the technology created by Area 51. Once the plan is initiated, will Earth succeed in its payback or fail gloriously?

Book Review of Don't Mess With Earth
Author Cliff Ball draws on his considerable knowledge of history, folklore and Christianity to
