Feb. 15, 2009 - PRLog -- Twilight Times Books has entered into a contract with Darrell Bain and Stephanie Osborn, co-authors of The Y Factor, to publish that manuscript.

Osborn's mentor, Travis "Doc" Taylor, and Bain co-authored the first  novel of the Cresperia series, Human By Choice, published by Twilight Times Books.

The series concerns the first contact between the pacifistic natives of Cresperia, whose planetary government is a loose political anarchy, and the inhabitants of Earth. The Cresperians have a unique ability  to tap into the quantum foam, not only to read general impressions of events, situations, and emotions,  but to manipulate certain aspects of their reality - up to and including their own forms and the forms of humans for whom they care. This ability to manipulate the humans includes healing and delaying aging, both highly desired abilities, making them valuable "commodities." Upon crash-landing on Earth in the first novel, several of the "Crispies" take human form and must contend with the strange customs and political environments of Earth.

The Y Factor picks up where Human By Choice leaves off, with the international race to obtain Crispies and Crispy technology. But there's a catch. Crispies are delicately balanced creatures, and not all of the nations after them - good OR bad - understand just HOW delicate. Can they even survive, let alone thrive, on Earth? And what if more Crispies come? What happens then? And who - or what - else is out there?

The tentative publication date for the e-book is 15 June 2009. Paperback publication date is still to be determined.
