Movement
2011 Nebula Award Nominee
kindle | nook | smashwords
When Hannah’s parents investigate a treatment that could change her life forever, Hannah’s world is thrown into turmoil. Unable to speak — at least not in ways most people can understand — Hannah struggles to face the question of who she really is, and who she wishes to become.
Originally published in the March 2011 issue of Asimov’s Science Fiction Magazine, “Movement” was marked Highly Recommended by Lois Tilton of Locus Reviews. Mundane-SF called it the “best story I have read so far this year”, and SFRevu called it “a truly fine story”. It is quite short, easily readable during a half-hour lunch break, and interweaves Hannah’s achingly tragic narrative with concepts drawn from neurology, entropy, social evolution and chaos theory.

The Breath of Heaven and Other Stories
A Three-Story Sampler Pack
paperback | kindle | nook | smashwords
Three stories set on distant worlds. “The Breath of Heaven” was a WOTF finalist. It follows the emotional development of a sentient computer as she struggles to do what’s right. “Knowing Neither Kin Nor Foe” is a reversal on the archetype of the Chosen One. Kitjaya’s people look on her as their savior – a destiny she has no desire to fulfill. “In the Halls of the Sky-Palace” was recommended for a Nebula Award. It is the story of a king who fears peace, a stalker that does not exist, and a child who rescues both.
