In a galaxy full of secrets, storms, and danger, one young woman is charting her own course.

The Lily Starling series follows a daring young adventurer who finds herself at the heart of interstellar conflicts, cosmic mysteries, and impossible choices. With high-stakes action, deep emotional bonds, and classic sci-fi wonder, this series blends heart, humor, and thrilling spacefaring escapades.

For fans of Firefly, Star Trek, and The Expanse, Lily Starling’s journey is just beginning.

A Trip Through Space and Time

Join the crew of the SFS Salamander in an adventure about identity, destiny, and the power of found family in the far reaches of space.

Before her memories vanished, Lily was a brilliant lieutenant on a mission to stop the Krythar—a ruthless, psionic race—before they could activate a weapon that could reshape history itself. Now, the future is in danger, and she may be the only one who can stop it. But first, she must uncover the truth about who she really is.

Taken aboard the Salamander, a starship filled with unlikely allies—including a battle-hardened warrior with his own scars, an android with secrets of their own, and a captain with too many burdens—Lily must decide whether to trust the people who say they're her family or carve out a new destiny among the stars.

As enemies close in and time runs out, Lily will have to face the impossible: reclaiming the life she lost, stopping a war before it begins, and choosing what kind of future she wants to fight for.

Perfect for fans of Mass Effect, Firefly, and The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet, Lily Starling and the Voyage of the Salamander is an action-packed space opera filled with heart, humor, and high-stakes adventure.

A personal journey.

A shared experience.

Why did I Write Lily Starling?

For me, writing these books has been a journey of self-discovery and adventure. I’ve poured so much of myself into these characters—their struggles, their triumphs, and their emotional journeys reflect pieces of my own experience. As a lifelong Star Trek fan, I’ve always loved how sci-fi can explore the depths of human nature through vast, uncharted worlds. With Lily Starling, I set out to do the same—to craft a story that’s thrilling, heartfelt, and deeply personal.

At its core, Lily Starling is a mirror to our own lives, exploring identity, belonging, and the choices that define us. I’m excited to share this universe with readers, and I hope you’ll see a part of yourself in this journey through the stars.
