Science Fiction Series Takes Future Space Colony Back to the Past

WELLINGTON, NEW ZEALAND – July 3, 2013 –  Is technology enough to begin colonizing space?  New to eBook, this first of a five-part science fiction novel looks at the circumstances and motivations that compel people to leave their home planet for a journey into the unknown.

The product of ten years of research and writing by author Nōnen Títi, Of a Note in a Cosmic Song was originally published in print (N Titi Publishing, 2008 – 2010) as a five-part series that has a strong focus on the human factor and gives due attention to science and technology.

The home planet, DJar, has a rich history and cultural diversity and each colonist’s background gives them their own reasons for embarking on the journey. Each point-of-view character brings a different perspective so that every reader can find a character to identify with.  

Part One, DJar (N Titi Publishing, June 2013), follows four people as they prepare for the journey:

Aryan, the pilot, welcomes the challenge, but his temper gets him in trouble before he can board the spacekabin.

Daili has to choose between her dream and leaving her daughter behind. Can she make such a dangerous and life-changing decision for her children?

For Benjamar and his granddaughter, going is their only chance to live.

Jema is considered of little use on DJar and can’t wait to leave behind a society that puts a time limit on life itself.

“Having the technology to colonize space is nice, but colonies consist first and foremost of people,” says Títi. “People are not machines and they are not all alike, so I began the story by asking what would motivate different people to risk losing everything they know by embarking on a space mission, and which types of people would make that decision under what circumstances.”

Nōnen Títi is the author of several fiction novels for different age groups and a series of non-fiction books about psychological types. Born and raised in The Netherlands, she now lives in New Zealand and builds on her experiences in physical and mental healthcare, and education. She holds a BA in Philosophy from the University of Otago and the study of human psychology and personality types (especially those associated with Carl Jung) has been a life long interest.

DJar is available in print from the author’s website (www.nonentiti.com) and as eBook from meBooks: http://tinyurl.com/mhctdmt or Amazon: http://tinyurl.com/m58k7b7

The rest of the series is available in print and is being converted to eBook one at the time.
