My heart is set on publishing The Marann in October.

Before or after I go to CapClave is up for debate.  It really depends on how much feedback I get before then.  The book is very close to publishable now, and a couple of my beta readers are begging for a peek at the next novel, Daughters of Suralia.  They’ll just have to wait.  Mua hahaha.

Tales of Tolari Space is set 500 years in the future.  Earth Central Command holds firm control over the Six Planets (Earth and its 5 colonies), while maintaining an illusion of freedom for all.  It’s a vaguely dystopian future where the little people live in relative peace, as long as they don’t stick their heads up.

Or as long as their heads don’t stick up anyway.

Marianne Woolsey sticks out a little.  Although she is content to live in a tiny town in rural Iowa, teaching foreign languages to high schoolers, she speaks 17 languages fluently.  Central Command might not have found this out, if it weren’t for her habit of hanging out in foreign language chatrooms and tutoring others.

When she gets noticed, she has no idea what she’s in for.
