Zander Anatolius and Felix Ingesson are two of the hardest
working men in the galaxy. They really need a break. So, we’ve sent them on a
honeymoon—and managed to do so without bringing them to further harm.
(Readers of the Chaos Station series are likely breathing a
huge sigh of relief here, as they’re more used to people dying. Or at the
very least losing limbs. This holiday has been a long time coming.)
We didn’t just write this story for the Zed and Felix,
though. We wrote it for our readers, the fans who have followed the adventures
of Zed and Felix from the very start. For those who have mourned their losses,
and cheered their successes. For all the folks who sent us little messages
saying: “I cannot believe you did that!” Or: “Hasn’t Zed been through enough?”
Or, popularly: “OMG, Felix!”
Jenn and I also wrote this one for ourselves. We’d said
goodbye to Zed and Felix with the last edit round of Phase Shift (Chaos
Station #5), and it was hard to let go. Many of our blog posts for the release
of Phase Shift reflected on how hard it was to say goodbye to
characters we’d given life to through five novels and a small collection of
short stories. So “Honeymoon” is our last hurrah—a chance for us to just play
with the guys, our dear fictional friends; to enjoy their love and everlasting
happiness; to share their last adventure with our readers.

Honeymoon
A Chaos Station story
Zander can't quite believe a galactic emergency didn't
interrupt their wedding. Felix can't quite believe he's married. One thing is
for sure, though, these guys need a holiday! So they book a cruise aboard
the drift ship Biswas.
There is no death or dismemberment in this story. No hull
breaches, no marauding aliens. This is Zed and Felix, though, so not
everything is going to go according to plan.
“Honeymoon” is available to read now!

About Kelly
If aliens ever do land on Earth, Kelly will not be prepared, despite having read over a hundred stories of the apocalypse. Still, she will pack her precious books into a box and carry them with her as she strives to survive. It’s what bibliophiles do.
Kelly is the author of a number of novels, novellas and short stories, including the Chaos Station series, co-written with Jenn Burke. A lot of what she writes is speculative in nature, but sometimes it’s just about a guy losing his socks and/or burning dinner. Because life isn’t all conquering aliens and mountain peaks. Sometimes finding a happy ever after is all the adventure we need.
