Get Lily Starling on Your Shelves

I welcome the opportunity to place Lily Starling and the Voyage of the Salamander and its sequel, Lily Starling and the Storm Riders, with independent bookstores. The series has built a strong readership, and I value working directly with shops that thoughtfully curate science fiction and speculative fiction.

In Lily Starling and the Voyage of the Salamander, a young woman awakens in a strange city with no memory of her past, only to be told she is a soldier displaced from the future. Drawn into the crew of the Salamander, a starship working to avert a coming war, Lily must confront her identity and decide who she will be before others decide for her.
