About the author

Lena Austin is a "fallen" society wench with a checkered past. She has been a licensed minister, haidresser, and a realtor, radio DJ, exotic dancer, telephone service tech, live-steel medievalist swordswoman, BDSM Mistress, and investment property manager. Not necessarily in that order. She never finished that degree in archaeology, but did learn to scuba. After a life that, gardening is pretty restful. Of herself, Lena writes, "I'm tall, presently red-haired, and I look like an holy mating between an Amazon and a librarian."

It was ok for me: nice description of the world and very good plot. What I disliked were, at least two: (a) the term "St. Andrews Cross" was used in the novel, in spite of being an alternative world, not mentioning the distant future; it was a very Earthy thing; and, most important, (b) I was expected there would be some distinctiveness about the sex engineer and the big surprise was: there was nothing special, just the same as would be performed by commoners, non-sex engineers. The mention of sex toys was just to mention, nothing else.
