Entry updated 12 September 2022. Tagged: Author.
(? - ) US author who is of sf interest for her first novel, The Office of Mercy (2013), a Young Adult tale set in a moderately distant Near Future world, specifically in an Underground Keep called America-Five, a name from which the existence of other versions of America, beyond the traditional Pocket Universe-like constrictions here described, may be inferred. The protagonist, perhaps unsurprisingly, leaves her home, and soon experiences the Conceptual Breakthroughs which normally attend such escapes. [JC]
