Puzzled about where to start? Here’s a guide to my books/series! I have adult sf/f, forthcoming YA sf/f, middle grade sf/f, and nonfiction.
YOUNG ADULT SF/F
MOONSTORM TRILOGY
In a society where conformity is valued above all else, a teen girl training to become an Imperial mecha pilot is forced to return to her rebel roots to save her world.
(Originally Lancers, but the publisher wanted a catchier title!)
#1 Moonstorm (forthcoming June 4, 2024)
#2 [it’s a mystery!]
#3 [it’s a mystery!]
MIDDLE GRADE SF/F
THOUSAND WORLDS trilogy from Rick Riordan Presents
Korean mythology in space, featuring a fox spirit heroine in #1 and a nonbinary tiger spirit in #2, among others!
#1 Dragon Pearl – New York Times bestseller; won the Mythopoeic Fantasy Award for Children’s Literature and Locus Award for best YA novel.
#2 Tiger Honor
#3 Fox Snare
Possibly also of interest: a tie-in story about Min taking place between Dragon Pearl and Tiger Honor, “The Initiation,” appears in the anthology The Cursed Carnival and Other Calamities along with other stories about your favorite Rick Riordan Presents characters!
ADULT SF/F
Series
MACHINERIES OF EMPIRE
She’s a mathematician. He’s a mass murderer. Will they save the tyrannical Hexarchate—or destroy it?
#1 Ninefox Gambit – Locus Award for best first novel; finalist for the Hugo, Nebula, and Clarke awards.
#2 Raven Stratagem – Hugo finalist.
#3 Revenant Gun – Hugo finalist.
#4 Hexarchate Stories, featuring the sequel novella “Glass Cannon.”
By request, a hexarchate faction cheat sheet.
Possibly also of interest: Ninefox Gambit RPG from Android Press.
Other stories in the world of the hexarchate, which can be read as standalones:
- “Extracurricular Activities,” about Shuos Jedao back when he was a (living) hotshot spaceship captain, and a spy mission. A Hugo finalist.
- “The Battle of Candle Arc,” which is what it says on the tin.
- “The City Unbreachable,” a standalone f/f romance that takes place in the cloistered world of a generation ship fleeing the heptarchate.
The soundtracks to Ninefox Gambit are at Deuce of Gears on Bandcamp: Banner the Deuce of Gears, Overkill (single), and Hexarchate Lullabies.
Bonus Twine game (hypertext/Choose-Your-Own-Adventure-style) about Cheris’s days at Kel Academy, from every spark a fire. (‘Ware the content notes!)
