      Seeds Among the Stars, Book 1 approx. 100,000 words (400 pages) Born in the abandoned subway shafts beneath First City, Trina measures life in the coin she steals from her wealthy father’s people living above. She gives little weight to her dying mother’s fairy tales about how her father will rescue Trina and her twin sister, taking them away from this planet. Yet the stars catch her attention every time she goes to the surface. Trina is the protector, a role she created more from heroic tales in books her father gave them than anything in a shafter’s life. When she sees drunken aristocrats harassing laborers, she can’t turn away even though attacking them carries a death sentence. Her paternal grandfather discovers Trina before the enforcers can and offers everything she has ever desired—safety for her family and a way off Ceric. Can she trust their family connection, or will the price of her dreams be more than Trina is willing to pay?

      Seeds Among the Stars, Book 2 approx. 100,000 words (400 pages) Trina is stunned when the teachers segregate her into a class of technologically challenged candidates. This decision makes her question the spacer test while her assigned teammates consider her a liability. She must fight the shafter instinct to retaliate or she will be cut from the program altogether. Deluth finds their colony-bred teammate fascinating, but his best friend since childhood is bent on seeing her fail. Every attempt to protect Trina from his friend's aggression only makes her more suspicious of Deluth's motives no matter which side he chooses. Will technology and her past hold Trina back, or can she learn to accept new alliances on the way to becoming a full spacer?
