How did you develop the idea for your first book?
Base idea: Space Opera and Military SF are synonymous but don't need to be.
1. Story without military presence. "What if we sent freighters instead of frigates?"
2. Story about common people with only normal amounts of agency. "What did the red shirt do before he got tapped for the Away Team and who took over his job duties when he didn't come back?"
I pushed clipper ships and company towns from the late 1800s into space
