The year is 2102, the earth is in crisis, and Trina, a gutsy young woman from a poor family, is forced to sell herself into slavery to pay off her familyโ€™s debt. To her surprise, she ends up being sent into space to help colonize a star. Her future seems bright until crisis strikes the colony โ€” leaving Trina the only human being left alive on Planet Johannes. Another spaceship is slated to arrive in a decade, but how will Trina survive alone for ten years? And even if she does, how can she keep the next colony from meeting the same fate?

The answers to these questions show up in the form of โ€œfriends with wings.โ€ Once Trina meets the Eeriv, nothing will ever be the same.

The Right Asteroid and the Saturn Moon are set in the early years of the twenty-second century, when human colonies in space have created the equivalent of a new Wild West. Freedom-loving asteroid hunter Sam wants nothing more than to have some fun and make enough money to pay off the ship. Instead, Sam makes first contact, setting off a chain of events that will change human life forever.

The Casitian Universe series is six novels in total. It starts with the first three, which is set in the 2010’s-2020’s. (making it, at this point, an alternate history, even though it wasn’t written to be.) The prequels start in 2800 BCE, and there is a prequel set in the 19th century during the civil war. The sequel is set eighty years after the events of the first three novels, starting in 2098.

Two novels: Becoming Queen & The Colonists

19-year-old Daneli is a tomboy who doesn’t get along with her mother. She’d rather be riding her horse or perfecting her archery skills than wearing finery and ordering servants around. But as the eldest daughter of House Trageri, Daneli is the inheritor of long-standing tensions, and a mission far larger than she is. First, she must undergo an arduous training process, then pass a series of tests in order to become Queen. Afterward, with the help of ten hand-picked spouses of all genders, along with her secret Gift, it will be her job to create peace between her cooperative, matriarchal nation and the violent, fiercely hierarchical patriarchy to their north. As if that weren’t challenge enough, Daneli is also in for a big surprise. A spaceship is speeding toward her colony – and its arrival will change everything.
