Wounded and alone except for an anxious AI, Anikka is determined to survive even when the planet itself is trying to kill her. All she has to do is get to the colony. But rising mysteries trip her every step of the way. Why did the ship crash? Why isn't anyone from the colony responding? What happened to the people who were supposed to be there? Anikka's life depends on finding the answers. Before whatever got the colony gets her, too.
Books have been Kendra's escape for as long as she can remember. She used to hide fantasy novels behind her government textbook in high school, and she wrote most of her first novel during a semester of college algebra.
Older and wiser now (but just as nerdy) she writes fantasy and science fiction with characters who have disabilities. If she's not writing, she's reading, and if she's not reading, she's playing video games.
She lives in Denver with her very tall spouse, their book loving progeny, and a lazy black monster masquerading as a service dog.
