The Moon Over Red Trees
…ation that could easily become fraught, given the depredations of the colonists, who had a tendency to get everything that caught their eyes (seriously.

…is mighty talent and adds yet another author to this reader’s “must-read” list. -Krista McKeeth at Marianne de Pierres’s: There was nothing that I did not like about this story. Everything comes together with perfect timing and intensity. If you enjoy stories about war, politics, fallen angels, high fantasy magic, this is a must read!
