Earthrise
Her Instruments Book 1
by M.C.A. Hogarth
Genre: Science Fiction Adventure, Space Opera
“The thrills are nonstop, the alien cultures
and races are well developed and fascinating, and there’s just the right amount of humor to keep
the whole thing fizzing.” — Analog Science Fiction and Fact
Reese Eddings has enough to do keeping her rattletrap merchant vessel, the
TMS Earthrise, profitable enough to feed herself and her crew. So when a mysterious
benefactor from her past shows up demanding she rescue a man from slavers, her first reaction
is to run for the hills. Unfortunately, she did promise to repay the loan. But she didn’t think it
would involve tangling with pirates over a space elf prince…
Book 1 of the Her
Instruments trilogy is a rollicking adventure set in the expansive Pelted universe, and kicks off
an epic space opera series where the fate of worlds hangs in the balance. Fans who enjoyed
Firefly or Andromeda will like this series.

Rose Point
Her Instruments Book 2
Reese is only just getting used to running the
Earthrise in the black—and with an Eldritch in her crew—when a trip to a colony world gives rise
to a whole new problem: Hirianthial is showing powers that even the Eldritch rarely have, and
that only in legend. He badly needs training, support and advice, and the only place he can find
them is… at home.
To see the world of the Eldritch is a once in a lifetime opportunity,
a thing of fantasies and rumor. And to finally meet the Eldritch Queen, the author of so many of
Reese’s windfalls! You’d have to twist her arm to get her to admit it, but Reese can’t wait to go.
But a court out of fantasy and a breathtaking land aren’t enough compensation when they come
packaged with a rabidly xenophobic species whose world is falling apart. The last thing they
want any part of is some mortal interloper.
Is Reese ready for the Eldritch world?
Better to ask: are they ready for her?

Laisrathera
Her Instruments Book 3
The Queen of the Eldritch has offered Reese
Eddings a life out of a fairy tale, one beyond the imagination of a poor girl from Mars who’d
expected to spend her life eking out a living with a rattletrap merchant vessel. Unfortunately, the
day Reese reached out to accept Liolesa’s offer, Hirianthial’s enemies betrayed him–and his
entire planet–to a race of sociopathic shapeshifters with dreams of conquest. Now the only thing
between Reese and a castle of her very own is a maniacal alien despot, his native quisling and
all the Eldritch dead-set on preventing the incursion of aliens at any cost, including the ousting
of their current usurper, who happens to be an alien himself…
Reese, Hirianthial and
the crew of the Earthrise have been battling these pirates since Hirianthial’s capture inspired
their fateful meeting, but to beat them Reese will have to own the power she’s always denied
herself, and Hirianthial must make peace with his bloody past and uncertain future.
The stakes have never been higher, and this last time will count for all. The final battlefield
awaits.

A Rose Point Holiday
Her Instruments Book 4
With the Eldritch civil war over, a castle to
renovate, and a wedding to prepare for, the last thing Reese is thinking about is taking a break.
But the new year is coming and the Eldritch take their holidays very seriously, so Reese decides
it can’t hurt to observe the local proprieties. Who knows? Maybe it’ll make good practice for
what Felith is calling the wedding of the century. Of course, that was before Reese realized it
was going to involve gifts. And decorating. And a town full of recalcitrant Eldritch tenants who
have no reason to trust her…
“A Rose Point Holiday” is a short, pastoral novel set
during the last days before Reese becomes Theresa Laisrathera Eddings, lady of Rose Point
Castle and the surrounding lands of Firilith. The Eldritch have never seen a holiday quite like this
one!

Daughter of two Cuban political exiles, M.C.A.
Hogarth was born a foreigner in the American melting pot and has had a fascination for the gaps
in cultures and the bridges that span them ever since. She has been many things—-web
database architect, product manager, technical writer and massage therapist—-but is currently a
full-time parent, artist, writer and anthropologist to aliens, both human and otherwise.
Her fiction has variously been recommended for a Nebula, a finalist for the Spectrum, placed
on the secondary Tiptree reading list and chosen for two best-of anthologies; her art has
appeared in RPGs, magazines and on book covers.
