(Well, yes, I know it really doesn't matter, but what I'm really asking is whether there's any relationship between the two books and whether I'll miss out on something if I plunge in to the Zeta Nine book first.)

Hello Hampshire Nanny
I only just saw your question in my weekly update email from Mobileread. Sorry to take so long to reply, I hope I haven't missed you.

Thank you for noticing my books and buying them.
You can read either book first. The two lead characters from Passengers to Sentience get a mention in Passengers to Zeta Nine but not in a way that would confuse. They are introduced independently. The books are quite different in character: P2S is a bit of an SF crime caper with a twist at the end. P2ZNine is a pioneering colonisation story with more twists which hopefully take the story beyond my interest in the detail of what might go awry when two enthusiastic pioneers find a new planet.
Hope this helps. Please do let me know what you think. I very much hope you enjoy your reading of them. If not, you could console yourself with reading the limerick book which is free on smashwords. And if that’s not to your taste, there’s the ultra short Ms Fixit, also free on smashwords.
In the works I have a sequel to both books, which brings characters from both together. Meanwhile, I am also working on a completely different cyberpunk story.
