Publisher's summary
Charleen Dreesen is stranded on Casa Verde station without the proper ticket to ship out on an interstellar spaceship. With no berths in the offing, she's looking for any way she can find to make a credit. Then she meets Joey, his sister Darleen, his father Mike and his pet rat Mister Rodent—who are all worse off than she is. Mike's behind in his kickbacks to the local crime boss, and neither he nor the kids have interfaces or much in the way of education.
So Charleen's now in bad company as well as stranded and broke. Before you know it, people are trying to kill her. She's left with no choice but to start climbing the ladder of La Causa, the organization that controls crime in the Casa system.
And if she's not careful she’ll wind up in politics. The Cordoba and Drake Combines are being challenged by the rising Alliance created by Jenny Starchild and the crew of her starship Arachne. Their control over the Pamplona sector is starting to crack and the Casa system is caught in the middle. Charleen may have to raise the bloody flag of revolution...

A WarSpell novel, in a world where war ships are just starting to make the change from ballistas to cannon that use a magically created gunpowder. Tensy Teasdale is forced by financial hardship to give up her studies of magic and join the Kingdom Navy as a midshipman. It's a hard life for her. While women have been serving in the Navy for decades, not everyone accepts them. It's even harder if you're a studious introvert who incurs the ire of a brute of a senior Midshipman who's just failed his Lieutenant’s test again. And that's just the first of Miss Midshipman Teasdale's misadventures....

Welcome to the world, Metis, titan of wisdom and sagacity. Actually, you’re a new built artificial brain, part of a dispersed architecture neural net system designed to run a wing-ship. A jump capable starship operating in the Pamplona Sector. But the Pamplona Sector is caught up in a revolution. The Battered Birdie, the ship you’re installed in, is a pirate ship and its captain is a crook and casual killer. That’s the situation Metis finds herself in. Doctor Schmitz did build a moral center into her, but like all A.I.s, she’s designed to serve, not to rule. That means taking orders...

Cordelia found herself Rojer's prisoner as they took ship for the Orclands. On the ship she met and befriended the Brooks family. Using a hidden spellbook, Cordelia tried to learn not just magic but ...

Not every hero stands at the forefront of battle, chopping up, or gunning down the foe. Johan Kipper, an old and worn mercenary who had done more than his share of chopping up and gunning down, finally found his hero, his liege lord, not in a great captain, but in David Bartley, a fourteen year old boy who was just trying to make sure his family could get by. A lad who was trying to protect his family by making rather than taking, by building rather than destroying. And, more, a lad who didn't need to knock Johan down to feel tall or make Johan afraid to feel brave. Never in his long life ...

The Pamplona Sector was in trouble. Two hundred years of consolidation wars left a small cadre of corporate elites running the sector. The Drakes and the Cordobas were only interested in maintaining their power. And the great houses within both camps had their knives out. The Federation didn’t start with a shot. It was a man deciding to be decent when his training –even his genetics– insisted that he be a bastard. It was a friendship between people who should have found each other repulsive. It was a young girl asking impertinent questions and insisting that those around her do the ...
