Flotilla is a series of short stories I’ve been working on over the last year or so. It tells the stories of a people who have left their home and they’re searching for a new place to settle down. The stories follow, mainly, Charlotte Allard, an engineer and amateur pilot who lives aboard a garbage scowl called the Chariot. She dreams of exploring the universe and an accident lands her on the Alliance, the flagship of the fleet.
These stories are a work in progress and my hope is that eventually readers will be able to see the same world that exists up in my noggin. I hope you enjoy reading these stories and feel free to leave a comment!
