About the author
Kate Rauner
43 books13 followersKate Rauner is a retired Cold War Warrior. She worked for over twenty years at the Rocky Flats Plant, once part of the nation's nuclear weapons complex. She helped decommission the site, which is now a National Wildlife Refuge.
Kate moved to southwest New Mexico and worked at the copper mines around Silver City, including the historic Santa Rita mine. Santa Rita has been mined since Native Americans collected copper there before the Spaniards entered Mexico.
Today she lives outside Silver City on the edge of the Gila National Forest with her husband and cat. She enjoys hiking and bird-watching, and, as a volunteer firefighter, has fought wildland and home fires. "I'm well on my way to my life's goal," Kate says. "To become an eccentric old woman."

Excellent sci fi adventure
Winnie is still impulsive and often self-centered, but she is maturing into an enjoyable character. Bertram reveals a few of his secrets. The adventure is well-imagined, well-written, and thrilling. The worldbuilding is fascinating and too believable. I look forward to reading the trilogy's conclusion.
