In this Under the Covers episode, we meet award-winning authors Jeanne Adams and Nancy Northcott, authors of many books, including their companion novellas in the book “Christmas on Outcast Station,” one of the science fiction books in the Outcast Station series.

Jeanne and Nancy team up with Jeanne’s novella, “The Princess Problem,” and Nancy’s novella, “Scorpions for Christmas,” both set on Outcast Station, a backwater posting and the armpit of the Terran colonies in outer space.

This book is the second in the Outcast Station series. It is set in a world where careers go to die and where Chief Station Marshall Brad Carruthers has problems top side protecting a young princess about to be crowned Queen and where Federated Colonies Deputy Marshall Hank Tremaine has his hands full on the planet below with a murder of a Drachan scorpiod and the theft of a relic that could lead to an inter-stellar conflict.
