some small bits of news
It’s been a minute since I updated, which I realized when two people in the same week gently reminded me that it might be a good idea to change the ‘preorder’ link for Lady Eve to ‘buy now’ given that the book has been out for eight months. It has also picked up a couple…

Ask Me Any Things

Lady Eve’s Last Con cover!
My upcoming novel, Lady Eve’s Last Con, officially now has a cover and publication date, a Goodreads page, and even some preorder links! This is the one I’ve recently been describing as “a retrofuture lesbian screwball two-car-femme-fatale-pileup romcom in space,” in which a small-time con artist attempts to revenge-seduce a clueless interstellar billionaire, but finds…

Originally published in The Fantasist, December 2016. Suradanna’s parents had spent a year’s savings to buy their only daughter her place as an apprentice navigator, and they waved her goodbye from Salamadan Port with a certain air of complacency.
