    About this series

    The Cassidyverse is back!

     

    Kendra and Aiyana's world is as vibrant and rich as ever in this new collection of thirteen pieces of short fiction.
    You might think their world runs on fusion power, or antimatter plants, or maybe even warp drives. But it doesn't.
    It runs on emotions and relationships and heart.

    • What happened after Kendra's near-disastrous Christmas party? You're not going to believe it!
    • Kendra's journey from actress to assassin continues in "Roses Have Thorns"
    • Lexie wants to break up with her boring boyfriend, but she never expected a goddess
    • Shi faces her demons in "Lupus in Astris", putting the ghosts of her past to rest
    • In "Heart of Molycirc", Elsa confronts a lying, corrupt bully to regain her self-respect
    • Step into the distant future of the Terran Empire in "Chooser of the Living" and see the covert battle that could launch a revolution

     

    These stories and more show what we mean when we say that the Terran Federation is the Heart of Space.

      Welcome to the Cassidyverse, the wider world of the Cassidy Chronicles, where life will take you in unexpected directions. Kendra Cassidy's dream was to drag humanity to the stars. Along the way she invested her fortune, her sweat, and her blood to make the Terran Federation real. But she wasn't the only one; her crew struggled alongside her to bring it to life. These are their stories: In "Recruiting Kendra, " a younger Kendra learns first-hand what it takes to turn an actress into an assassin. In "A Dream Made Flesh," Diana, an AI and a leader of the Federation, wonders what it might be like to be human. In "When 'cats Fly," Daniela is challenged to solve the problem of making a space fighter suitable for cat-sized sentients. In "Murder on the Missouri," a cadet is murdered, Alyssa calls in the only human who can solve the case. In "Hell Hath No Fury," A jealous, vengeful Admiral discovers that Ashley is the wrong Captain to exile to the frontier. In "The Martian Gambit," Mikall and the crew of the TFS Nike face a last-gasp attempt to overthrow the Terran Federation. And in "Thrown For A Loop," a story that spans centuries, Kendra and her wife, Aiyana, confront a threat to all of space and time. In all, eleven tales of bravery, love, creativity, and…staplers? Come see for yourself!
