Current Projects

I'm working on a trio of far-future space novels in a galactic system settled by humans long ago.

Errors of Choice

Joshi Farre is obsessed with learning to ryde the nervewaes. When she sets out to rescue her uncle from slave-trading pirates, what could go wrong? Only everything, starting with getting entangled with an intelligent plant on a mission to spread her seeds and a non-Terrran card-sharp of no known age. What’s a willful rich girl to do when she keeps going from one bad choice to the next?

Oh, and as for the nervewaes, who wouldn’t want to be able to send their pattern through the network that ties the universe together? Instant transfer, perfect reentry into 3D (please, not embedded in the ground), and even the ability to carry things. She keeps trying. Someday she hopes to get it right.

Debts of Honor

Joshi Farre has just bought into the deal of a lifetime, if she can market the stolen biotransmitters before their owners catch up with her. All she has to do is find the right buyers, avoid the unknown attackers and former friends who keep trying to steal the bioTs from her, and juggle all the other demands on her time and honor. A surprise visit from a troupe of tubby Ifflings wanting her help, and the mysterious disappearance of the heir to a Great Family fortune complicate her dealing.

Bones of the Matter

Joshi Farre, grudgingly responsible daughter of a struggling Great Family, takes on a job for Raincaller — find the Globe of Chothones. Joshi just wants a break from her boring ordinary life. But the job immediately turns sticky, so she talks an old dealer friend into acting as her backup. Finding the Globe is complicated by an offplanet alien searching for his brother and Raincaller’s secrecy about her true agenda. And then thre's Joshi’s mother’s plot to sign a marriage contract for Joshi without her knowledge.
