Indeed, they are a great introduction, as they are not heavy on the Jargon, and can be a light and fun read.
From Her Science fiction series, Start off with her Pegasus series, as it still quiet contemporary, near future, and starts off with a series of short stories in the first book.
1) To Ride Pegasus
2) Pegasus in Flight
3) Pegasus in space
Then move on to her Tower and the Hive series, which is set in the same universe, but much further in the future. The series consists of 5 books, namely
1) The Rowan
2) Damia
3) Damia's Children
4) Lyons Pride
5) The Tower and the Hive
Her Crystal Singers series is also nice, and set in its own univers, more or less. The books are
1) Crystal Singer
2) Killashandra
3) Crystal Line
If you enjoy those, Her ship series is also nice, and each is a self contained story set in the same universe. Of them, I personally really Like 2 of them, namely
The Ship Who Sang &
The Ship who searched
Finally Her Planet Pirates series is also good, and more of a classis SF series, but could be good stepping stone for more hard SF novels.
Well, Hope that helps
