The following books are currently between engagements. When they're up for sale again, the announcements will appear on this page.     --MA

Eel's Revenge (originally titled Eel's Reverence)

The pool teems with sea-people; a priest holds a knife to the body of one of their young. The land-people are walled out by apathy, stone, and guards. Only the wits of octogenarian Aunt Libby stands between the people and a holocaust that could mark their society for the rest of history.

Force of Habit (the first and--so far--only book in the TALES OF THE ST. BENNY JESUITS series)

All she wanted was a new outfit and a breath of fresh air. Was that too much to ask? Yes, Bel Schuster discovers, when the outfit belongs to an extortion victim who thinks Bel is an undercover cop, the air is an alien planet's, and Schuster has just blundered into a web of interplanetary crime and high-level political intrigue.

Sideshow in the Center Ring (also known as just Sideshow)

Connie Phelan wasn't a violent woman -- who would have thought that it would end in blood? It started with parties and insult humor when she became a TerraNet holovision star. It finished on a slave planet with brutality and a knife. Or maybe it started when she was a teenager on Helena Street. If you go back that far, maybe blood makes sense.
