You can start the Tinkered Stars Universe with Divinity 36. You do NOT need to have read Crudrat or The 5th Gender first. It’s a shared universe (similar aliens, planets, & technology), but there are few (if any) crossover characters.

I write sandbox style a lot – with series and stand alones set in the same universe/worldbuilding. I blame being raised on Anne McCaffery & Mercedes Lackey. No to mention Darkover.

My books are designed so that you should be able to pick up any one of the novellas or any first book in any of the series and use that as a jumping in point, or simply to decide if you like my style of writing for that universe.

Hopefully this makes sense.

I try to keep all these lists updated but do please know that new books are announced to my newsletter first.

Find these books on:

and pretty much everywhere else. You can also buy digitally directly from me on this website (each book has a page, each page has buy links).

Here’s a full explanation video (end of 2021).

And here is what the office looked like after I completed the above video:

Here’s an earlier video with many of the book on a shelf, in which I also talk about some research books.

In the above I walk you through my books in chronological order (as of early 2019) and suggested reading order.

Not All Fans Agree With Me!

Reading order is hotly contested by my fans. As a completest, I myself would read them in chronological order as above. However, many of the members of my Facebook fan group contend they ought to be read in order written.

So if you started with Soulless then this is for you!

Would you like all the Parasolverse books…

Quote of the Day:

“Now, Faith dear…”
“Yes, cousin?”
“Of course, you look absolutely ravishing, but perhaps no mention of rocks right away?”
“Not a single sedimentary sequence shall pass my lips, I promise.” Faith attempted to look grave.
“I don’t know what that means, dear, but thank you.”
