I've posted Chapter 2 (the first part) from my upcoming book, The Vanished Seas. It's on my Patreon page:

And wow, is it difficult to find artwork of badass futuristic women with their clothes on. Seriously, who goes into battle wearing a bikini and a machine gun.

Some of the tags are real head scratchers, too. I was looking for some art that might work as Bhaaj in the Undercity ruins, so at one site I put in "women, black hair, cave." One of the images that came up was the two sisters from Frozen dressed in what looked like evening or wedding gowns, holding hands as if they were getting married and about to kiss, standing by a lake in the forest.

I mean, really?

At least they had on clothes.

Bhaaj isn't shooting anyone in this chapter, she's just checking in at the Veteran's Administration, and the picture is too young for her, but I liked it so much that I picked it anyway. Chalk up the youth to her nanomeds. It was just such a relief to find it after all the overtly sexualized stuff out there.

Anyway here is chapter 2, with Bhaaj wearing clothes. :-D
