"I like to question everything, figure out how things work, and do tasks myself. Experiencing new things is fun but also helps with writing raw and genuine stories. And I'm always trying to push my comfort zones."
Strife likes the rumble of her project car's 350-ci V8. She enjoys the rush of snowboarding and riding ATVs on the dunes. But nothing brings her more solace than camping in the mountains where the stars are their brightest.
Strife enjoys connecting with readers and welcomes all feedback and questions.

5 Things You Should Know About Stellar
Fusion
1. Stellar Fusion is a blend of science and magic with
cyberpunk, apocalyptic and alien elements. It features a military organization
that protects all people of Earth, post the Three Hundred Year War. There are
no countries, only topographical zones. It follows a female lead and her
assigned crew as they do recon on a mysterious ship that appears in orbit,
lands massive pillars on the surface of Earth, and steals people in green
flashes of light. It’s full of futuristic twists on the classic tale of
invasion.
2. This book is great for fans of science fiction fantasy
with military themes, space battles, empires, romantic moments, moral
conflicts, alien languages, and symbolism. There’s a lot of foreshadowing and
little pieces that will come out to play later in the series. It’s all about
balance: good vs. evil, violence vs. tenderness, guts vs. power, history vs.
hope, rule vs. desire, and many more.
3. Book one dabbles a lot in what we call lucid dreaming
and brings to life the semi-conscious realm of “Ether.” Ether is where secrets
come out of hiding, friends are made, and characters can even be killed. Think
of entire species with Freddy Krueger’s dream-walking capability. It’s a major
component of the plot, so be prepared to phase in and out of the “waking realm.”
4. Stellar Fusion is the first book in the Infinite Spark
Series, the middle series of the Universal War novels. I started with Infinite
Spark because I thought it might be the most interesting to readers. Three
books, of the seven planned, are published. While books are written in the
other two series (Abaddon’s Edge-series one, Spectral Renegades-series three),
I’m focusing a single series at a time. There are details in Infinite Spark
that are found in the other series.
5. This is my first fiction novel. I come from a background
of research papers and would absolutely love feedback/reviews to know how my
storytelling and creative style are received by readers.
I had a lot of fun writing Stellar Fusion. I hope you enjoy
reading it!
Thanks for having me!
inside the book
Earth, still patching itself together from the 300 Years War, is severely unprepared and outnumbered when the invasion hits. Their only hope is a small team of soldiers on a suicide mission to infiltrate
The last survivor of the first encounter can't explain why she knows what she does. Sergeant Nakio Atana is the Universal Protectors’ elite assassin and holds within a spark of unimaginable power. But a daring escape from an enemy ship knocked the first fifteen years of her life into darkness, leaving her with only inexplicable apathy and technical knowledge beyond Earth’s evolution.
What she is can change their future.
Sergeant Bennett must guard her with his life.
Together, Atana and Bennett lead the team in hopes her knowledge, and his crew’s skills, will render them a soft spot in the alien armor. What they find when they reach the mothership is entirely unexpected. The truth they uncover will challenge the code they live by and their concepts of the power within.
PRAISE:
“Stellar Fusion is the work of a new aspiring writer with a penchant for exploring possibilities of future life for humankind. Good versus evil, loyalty, truth, integrity, and the power of strength, love, and hope are all masterfully interwoven into this inaugural novel by E.L. Strife. With the age-old theme of making the world a better place, Strife casts her characters in the spotlight as they embrace survival on the planet.
