Though this stands alone, readers would surely welcome further adventures featuring the unlikely duo of Kas and Zhi. Wexler takes a sardonic tone in his descriptions of future Earth as a planet where the physical and virtual landscapes are littered with toxic waste, but the inhabitants still foster a sense of community and cheerful disdain for their wealthy off-world visitors. The alternative would be to stay with her faculty colleagues and surreptitiously complete assignments on behalf of their lazy but socially prominent prize pupil, who prefers visiting the local brothels to studying. To regain her purse, Kas must use her knowledge of ancient tech to help Zhi prepare a secretly salvaged Third Empire warbot for a return bout with Zhi’s nemesis. Scholar Zychtykas Three (“Kas to her friends, of which she had none”) is part of an academic visit to Old Earth, where she’s conned into betting away her academy’s money by Zhi Zero, a robot pilot.

Judy wasn't yet born at the time, and her mother and Linda escaped from the wreckage, although not unscathed Donna was not as lucky. Judy Mandel never knew her 7-year-old sister, Donna, because Donna died when a flight bound for Newark airport crashed into the house that her other sister, Linda, lived in with her mother and father. This story is perhaps one of the saddest books I've read lately, and the scary part is, it's nonfiction: a memoir. This is the story of my family's trials and triumphs as a result of a tipping of fate, and my own struggle to live up to the role burned into my psyche from the time my mother first dreamed me up as her salvation. My place in the family was cauterized by the flames. I was conceived as the salve on the burns, to fill the abandoned chair at the gray Formica table. My other sister, Linda, was burned nearly to death. Do Not Say We Have Nothing is her most successful novel to date, and it was published in 2016 to widespread critical acclaim.

His soul seemed to be rising out of his body like frothing milk brimming over the edge of a basin it was as if his soul were flowing into an unfathomable ocean of higher life, beyond words, beyond all perception, his body suffused by some surging light that was beyond all light.

In fact, stories where they aren't squick her badly, so don't expect to find abuse stories in her journal. In her worlds, tops and bottoms are all mature, consenting adults.

She first cut her teeth on fanfic: gen, slash, het, and femslash. When she isn’t writing, Lyn Gala teaches in New Mexico. Her characters seek to better themselves and find the happy ending (or happier anyway), but it’s writing the struggle that inspires her muse. Even the purest heroes have pain and loss and darkness in their hearts, and that’s where she likes to find her stories. Westerns starring men with shady pasts gave way to science fiction with questionable protagonists which eventually gave in to any story with a morally ambiguous character. Lynsey "Lyn" Gala started writing in the back of her science notebook in third grade and hasn’t stopped since. |
