Girl on the Moon
This near-future sci-fi adventure sends humankind back to the moon, this time to make first contact with an inscrutable alien race. And when Earth's new acquaintances become new neighbors, humanity might not be done with the moon yet — and it might not be done with Earth. Fortunately for humankind, it has Conn Garrow. They said Conn wasn't qualified for astronaut training. To prove herself, all she'll have to do is outwit alien races, escape from prison, run a huge business, survive assassination attempts, engineer impossible rescues — and walk on the moon. Never tell Conn there's something she can't do.

Fight the Future
A new novel coming soon from the author of the Girl on the Moon series! to read an excerpt!
In 2036, we cure cancer. Some of those cured succumb to Harvie's Dementia, more than 300,000 people in the U.S. alone. Three years later, a seemingly friendly alien race makes contact on Earth—but it isn't long before the Prevaelens make their true intentions known. To conquer and subjugate the planet, they will "body snatch" humans, giving them an almost instant, formidable standing army. Their numbers are significant: patients with Harvie's Dementia are uniquely susceptible to being "possessed."
Can time-traveling Liz McBurnie choke off the Prevaelens' supply of bodies by curing Harvie's Dementia before they can build their army? Join Liz and her reluctant partner, Pal, as they try to save a world that doesn't yet know it needs to be saved!
