Genesis: To Outrun a Nova
By Tim Conley

About this ebook
This is the second book in the Tales from Avalon series - loosely connected stories that might tell something of Earth's history before the dawn of time as we know it.
Genesis: To Outrun a Nova tells a story about an attempt made by the Mersian empire as their sun goes nova. They must relocate. Unfortunately, they didn't count on bringing certain other species to Earth with them.
This is how an original colonization effort might have gone given the hectic nature of getting citizens on the ground and ready for their new home. Mistakes happen.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Tim Conley really began writing at the young age of six when he would recount his daydreams to whoever would listen. His authoritarian father discouraged this and any other action that smelled of books and reading. Tim would sneak into any hidden away corner and escape through the avenue of reading and was known as a loner and dreamer by his classmates, preferring his own company and that of ‘made-up characters’ to that of friends. Now at age 60, Tim has a huge amount of material to draw from to create his own settings and characters.
Tim is still a loner, living in San Jose, California with his wife and lover, Carmela Santos (a teacher from the Philippines). He would like to run a small ranch with a couple horses, some pigs and chickens.
Tim is satisfied to live the quiet life of a simple man. He studied writing at the University College at Memphis State University. The fact is he enjoys writing more than all the other things he has accomplished in life. Teaching for inner city schools has provided excitement in his life, but he has configured a quiet place where he can sit at the computer during the evening to
