Out of the frying pan into the fire …

Silvariah Frandelle, the famed “Miner Girl” who escaped certain death on Mars, wants nothing more than a stable life on Earth, free from the trauma of the past. Lazarus Penn stands in her way. No device or tactic is beneath him as he fights to take possession of her and everything that belongs to her. From the courts of Guam City, the tourist haven floating in space, to the depths of the sea, to the streets of Old Seattle, he sets forces in pursuit, both human and otherwise, to regain his power over her and take possession of her as is—he believes—his right.

Meanwhile on Mars, old friends fight to survive against harsh realities, and a bitter enemy simmers and plots revenge.

Sil must learn to rely on the friends who have stood with her all along to overcome the forces coming against her. Her life, freedom … and all that she values most depend on it.

Exiled to the mines of Mars …

Silvariah Frandelle, a brilliant and beautiful business woman, falls from wealth and success into exile and poverty, indentured—barely one step above slavery—as an off-world laborer to escape prison. Her last calculated risk as a free woman, paid for with years of service, becomes the key to surviving hostile environments.

Space, gravity, and Mars wastelands were expected. Intrusive AIs, obscure experiments, and shadowy foes were not.

Escaping with her life will require more than intuition, wits, or nerve, as the intrigue unravels from both ends, and she’s forced to decide who to believe, and who to trust.

Body Suit explores the development of personality and the shaping of character—human or otherwise—external pressures, competing ideals, and battles for control. A well-paced drama that builds tension to the last page and concludes with a harrowing climax.

Kidnapped in space …

Silvariah and Walter’s little girl is in danger, and facing the tyrant, Penn, is the only recourse left. In a brazen act of desperation, they travel to the Moon, convinced it holds the secret to his nefarious empire.

They know Penn is baiting them.

They go anyway.

When Scarlet disappears, they face off against their enemy with all their wits and strength, hoping it will be enough. Penn is confident he can’t lose—but there are factors no one could have anticipated.

Things like an independent little girl, a mercurial android … and the alien forces of the Denser Plane.
