The Conover Sagaby Denise Felt
When I first began writing UFO stories, they seemed to parallel my favorite classic movies in odd little ways. Since UFO takes place at a film studio, I let my imagination play with the idea. Each of the Conover Saga stories has correlations to a classic movie, usually black and white. Not every story mentions the movie it's playing with, but every story has at least one clue, either in a well-known line or a character's name. I hope you'll enjoy reading the Conover Saga as much as I enjoyed writing it. 1. The Security Risk Cmdr. Straker is drawn to a female pilot who miraculously escaped a plane crash. 2.

Well, in the world of writing, never say never. So here I am with another Conover Saga story, this one taking place about twenty years after the last saga story. I don't know if this story will be the beginning of another series. But it wanted to be written. The story can be found with the original saga. Reevaluation (A Conover Saga Revisited Story) Lt. Foster finds her work at SHADO's spaceport very interesting. |
