Below is an actual excerpt: page 1 of the first Gezka FaucMerz & Kiel Bronson SF novel!
I lifted the bottle in the nick of time. The FaucMerz came crashing into the booth table with at least one opponent, wrapped together in a grappling bar fight. I pulled back in my seat. I didn’t know if I just felt old, or mature. I don’t get into many bar fights nowadays. I turned 50 Earth years old a couple of years ago now. Don’t get me wrong, I still don’t back down; its just that I start trouble even less than I used to. My name’s Kiel Bronson.
The FaucMerz made quick work of the end of her little tussel and I could tell it was time for us to leave.
Gezka looks a lot like a young, giant Earth woman but with a very special twist. If you’re an Earthling then you’ll see how alien she is, for a human. She’s bigger than most Earthling men, with strangely broad shoulders as well as hips and skin as pale as an albino’s. You probably won’t see her eyes; she wears special goggles to keep out the light in places where you might come across an Earthling.
Once you know what to look for, you can easily tell she’s a soldier. She’s one of Emperor Rejkyavik’s pieces of military equipment. They breed them out there. The use genetic engineering and eugenics, not to mention brainwashing and cultural separatism. In actual fact, I’m the first friend she’s ever made who isn’t also part and parcel of the ExxyNaav - that’s what her military force is called. Emperor Rejkyavik’s ExxyNaav. They are something along the lines of a “Space Navy” but its more different from how Earth handles it than that.
I found her. She’s all mine. The kid went AWOL, we still don’t know why. She told me she had just been field promoted to Captain - that means someone else died in combat so she gets the new job opening. She broke the law again by leaving Exterior Federation Territory and went to one of the few space stations in The Rim she had ever been to. Typical, she went somewhere she’d already been. I found her in there, ordering her first drink soaked in blood. Back home we call this guilty of murder. I think her perspective was more like war atrocities, but that’s the trouble with taking a soldier out of combat and mixing them in with regular people too soon. She wasn’t ready and a lot of civilians died because of that.
I talked to her. She could tell I was some kind of Sergeant.

What the heck was that ?! Different genre novel
An Adventure in Indianapolis is not science fiction. Gezka and Kiel are not even in this novel. This novel is about a white collar drug trafficker in Indianapolis but most of the time it doesn't seem like it. The reason it does not seem that way is because readers join the other side - a group comes together to catch the suit wearing villain with the day job. Readers go along for the ride as the story follows an attorney, a Father, a career criminal woman burglar and a warm hearted warrior. These four people serve the City of Indianapolis - they are not quite vigilantes, but are close to it.
The story is a blend of intellectual situations and action. The lawyer leads the team meetings, but the woman criminal uses the most bald faced bribery and violence. The fighter orders night telescopes and rifles. The Father prays over the group and prevents thugs from being too quick to draw their guns - even at the peak of the action. The villain is a manager in a corporation who deals drugs part time, nights and weekends. It has become a habit.

How to find Gezka & Kiel
Science fiction is a large, roomy level of the imagination. Within this vast terrain is the interstellar reality in which Gezka and Kiel both live. Of course, this is even a lot like the observation that the Cardaceans and Earth's inhabitants share the same universe for those properly versed in the realms of Star Trek...Gezka and Kiel are born literally LY - Light Years away from one another. Kiel was a young full grown man when Gezka's parents dutifully and perhaps reasonably cheerfully generated Gezka as part of their military's breeding system. Gezka was the 5th child in a family. She was amongst the 5th generation of Rejkyavian Imperial Naav engineered, carefully bred and tightly controlled personnel. Far away, three decades before, some Earthlings bred somewhat freely - one of the most common Earth races. The partners selected one another over drinks in a saloon. Much as location and economics did play into the decision, it wasn't as carefully orchestrated as what happened with the FaucMerz. No one expected them to meet each other, but the Universe has a strange way of working through systems. So, when some middle aged 52 year old man sees a runaway 23 year old officer in a tavern on a space station the lights go on in his mind and he sees a freelance mercenary.

Other Famous People - Real & Fictional
What follows is publicity for Neil Gaiman. I really have no special relationship with him its just that I got to see him live recently and really loved what the British did with his Neverwhere years ago.
Now, here's a link to American Gods: http://journal.neilgaiman.com/2010/05/one-book-one-twitter-one-wondering.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter
So, that's that. I saw Leonard Nimoy today, only it was Spock looking about 30 years old again. [Women who has her own talk show on TV - lots of make up and melon breasts; she smokes] "Now you know Honey, how much you can tell Leonard wasn't being himself then..." so much so, that that was Spock...but Spock isn't even a real person and never has been. Do they get paid every time someone buys an action figure or t-shirt made using their images? Theatre people issues...
Gezka FaucMerz and Kiel Bronson are only real the same way that Spock is...except that they are still hoping to get some well published novels and a few movie deals with stand ins who portray them...so that they "come to life" as slightly more than "just an idea" but still, not actually real in the usual sense...

The Giant Virgin - Gezka FaucMerz
Gezka FaucMerz does not date. Where she comes from, when it is time to breed the Naav will send you the paperwork and will direct you towards likely candidates. This isn't the way they do it on Earth. Gezka'a mother received the paperwork and so did her father. While in the equivalent of their 30s by Earth years, they joined and bred as per their military breeding program. Nothing in the Naav is left much to chance. Gezka has not received her papers and was not due to for many years. She has felt her hormones but has been socialized to subvert them to military purposes.
