    About this ebook

    Think living on the moon as a teen would mean an escape from cliques and teenage pranks? Think again. When Marci's longtime friend Jess joins the pop-crowd at school, Marci finds herself talked into participating in one of their initiation rites and questioning herself, her friendships, and her values in the process.
    This Luna Short Story includes a special excerpt from CONVERGENCE, a full-length novel by the same author.

    I am a card-carrying technology geek, having cut my teeth on BASIC on my family’s Apple II Plus computer. As a young woman with a passion for reading that equaled my interest in technology, I found science fiction titles were written with the male reader in mind. I didn’t want more space battles and buxom aliens, I wanted to know how technology would change our lives.So I write the stories I wanted to read as a young teen.

      If, like me, you are a reader who wants to turn and run whenever the phrase “coming-of-age novel” appears in conversation or in a blurb, it may seem that a book about two young women attending college in the early 1980s is not for you. But if you see

      Moon Cliques - Karen T. Smith

      What other readers have had to say about Karen T. Smith's work:

      I could really relate to the characters...Looking forward to reading more like this!

      Excellent story. I read this out loud to my three daughters because I find that there are not enough female lead characters in youth fiction. They all loved it. We all want to know more about the characters and the colony.

      Karen has the ability to use the currency of teens without the degenerate baggage so common today. This is not my usual genre, but Karen's story has piqued an interest in me.
