http://www.mcahogarth.org/the-her-in...ogy/#earthrise
Reese Eddings has enough to do just keeping her rattletrap merchant vessel, the TMS Earthrise, profitable enough to pay food for herself and her micro-crew. So when a mysterious benefactor from her past shows up demanding she rescue a man from slavers, her first reaction is to say “NO!” And then to remember that she sort of promised to repay the loan. But she doesn’t remember signing up to tangle with pirates and slavers over a space elf prince…
99c The Worth of a shell (Fantasy)
http://www.mcahogarth.org/the-stone-...eworthofashell
Born to a harsh world, we Jokka have evolved three sexes to survive: neuter, male and female. Twice in our lives we may change from one to another. A change we accept with grace… or resignation. It was our way. …until one female defied all tradition: Dlane Ashoi-anadi, revolutionary, intentionally childless, runaway.
This is not her story.
This is mine.
I am Thenet Reņa-eperu, female-guardian, voice of orthodoxy… and Dlane’s first and dearest companion. This is the tale of how we changed each other… and how that changed everything.
$2.99 Spots the Space Marine (Mil SF)
http://www.mcahogarth.org/spots-the-...seofthefiddler
Standalone book. The book that launched a thousand internet outrage posts. (removed from Amazon by Games Workshop claiming it infringed their trademark “Space Marines”)
Pollyanna meets Starship Troopers in this fast, screenplay-like novel about a 30-something Marine private called out of retirement to join the war against the crabs. But shattered morale is the least of her company’s problems, and their survival may hinge on an unlikely friendship forged between an alien weapons designer and a mother-turned-warrior….
Military SF told in a hard-hitting, quick, screenplay-like style.
