edit data

HEATHER TEXLE is the award-winning author of the Reliance Sinclair science fiction series who finds inspiration in quirky, weird, and I-can’t-believe-that’s-true things. With a lifelong passion for learning, Heather is fascinated with the creativity and ingenuity of the human spirit. She also adores a good conspiracy theory.

After graduating college, Heather moved to Minnesota where she attained her law degree and continues to live with her husband and two cats, Mew and Spots. Despite once being stranded in the Gulf of Mexico on a burning cruise ship, she loves to travel and can often be heard muttering “I miss Scotland” on cool, rainy days. Her debut novel, On Impulse, won the 2023 Minnesota Author Project contest for Adult Fiction.

A Symphony of Starlight is a sci-fi romance that grabbed me at the start and didn’t let go. I mean, it starts off with a hit job during a rave, and the action only goes up from there. My heart pounded during the action scenes, and I grinned like a fo ...more

I read this prequel after reading book 1 and devoured it in two sittings. Like book 1, I stayed up reading until my eyes were bleary and even my cat objected to the light being on. The story strengthened the world building in the first book, but sinc ...more

I picked up Christmas with the Klagan going into the holiday season. It definitely put me in the festive mood! Sweet and fun, it’s a perfect read for a snow day with a cup of hot chocolate and a plate of cookies.

This book did not go where I thought it was going to go. One could say it went…rogue. And no, I will not apologize for that terrible pun. Instead of a mad-dash sprint across the galaxy, we’re treated to a smaller (in scope) story of a training missio ...more

I’m always a sucker for a sci-fi crime story. Murder in Retrograde is set in a futuristic California and manages to pull off a nice blend of high-tech and hard-boiled detective all wrapped up in a juicy whodunit murder mystery. Very enjoyable!
