Produktbeschreibung

"Tabula Rasa." The words came from the other side of the white door. "She's a blank slate. Everything has been completely wipedlike a newborn."
"Is she dangerous?" The second voice was lower, clipped.
"I hardly think so," answered the first voice, dismissively. "Not now, at any rate!" There was a short laugh. Then the door handle turned, and the woman lying on the white bed realised they were talking about her.
In Vera Loy's second collection of science fiction stories, a woman wakes to discover she knows nothing except how to kill; the latest version androids prove to be all too human; and humanity discovers that only women can explore deep space, and remain sane.
Splinters of Glass contains five short stories, each representing a different sci-fi sub-genre. Tabula Rasa (Spy-fi), Kate and Peter (Bardpunk), Immortality (Biopunk), To Boldly Go (Space Exploration), and Space Opera.

Autorenporträt

I have brown eyes and red hair, some weeks redder than others! The rest is subject to change without notice. I live in Australia with my family and two cats, the cats rule.

After thirty years of working with the unemployed, coping with threats, tears and broken lives (and these were only from fellow staff), I decided it was time to make my escape. And what better place to go than the world of regency romance? I started writing this story years ago, but put it aside due to work and family commitments.

A few years ago, I dusted off the foolscap pages stored under my bed, finished the story and turned it into a book, Regency Masquerade.

Since then I have published three collections of short stories. Beach Apples, all with an Australian theme, and two books of science fiction, Star Clash and Splinters of Glass. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them.
