Phoenix
Excerpt from Phoenix: Lisan
Praise for Phoenix
The plot was really well developed. Learning about the desert life and the symbiotic relationship of the plants and animals made the story seem very real and very well developed. I really enjoyed this story. The author writes in such a descriptive way that I felt like I was actually feeling Anna's pain and anguish. Her excitement of discovering that she is pregnant and then the tormented pain of losing the child and her husband really reached into my heart. When she had to kill for food for the first time, I could also relate to the emotions that she was experiencing. I enjoyed following her as she developed strategies to survive in the horrible desert with predatory creatures coming after her. She turned into a very strong woman. Phoenix is a must read for science fiction fans. [continued]— Paige Lovitt

"A survival tale that takes you right to the edge. Gritty, rich, and tender. A gem."
"Phoenix is an intriguing story of betrayal, survival, and redemption, set on a richly conceived alien world. It's an excellent exploration of otherness, both environmental and societal."
