Light crept over the salt-weathered rooftops of Stonefield, Massachusetts, a town as old as the legends that haunted its hillsides. It was around Stonefield that the Salem Witch Trials were held hundreds of years before. Nestled between gnarly stretches of pine forest and the restless Atlantic, the town had always attracted the odd and the eccentric. But few groups embodied this spirit quite like the Stonefield Alien Hunters, a band of five young adults and a cat who, despite what anyone else thought, took their work very seriously.

I was born in England, but have lived in Southern California for many years. I m now retired and live in the Pacific NW in a little seaside city amongst the giant redwoods and wonderful harbor, almost at the Oregon border. My husband and I have one cat, called Midnight and she is featured in two of my latest Sci-Fi short stories. I love Science Fiction, animals, and trying to help others. I publish under Doreen Milstead as well as my own name. My photo was taken right before the coronation of QE II in the UK.
