Lowtown girl, Lydia Stamos, sings for her bar tab and eats out of a soup kitchen, but after years in Vancouver's social welfare system, she's earned a one-way trip to Exodus-Class Star Station Anatali.
Boyfriends, girlfriends, drugs, and robots, there's a lot of baggage she can't seem to leave behind. And when a case of mistaken identity marks her as "The Redhead," a killer vigilante from Earth, it's all she can do to clear her name and survive her first week in space. Sobriety is probably too much to ask. Inner-system politics, corporate hierarchies, and organ harvesting are way over her head. The singing, she can handle.
Here's hoping for no more surprises.
Drinking Songs from Earth is the first novel of the Maple Leaves trilogy, tracking a reluctant heroine across a changing political landscape. She suffers all the intrigue, booze, romance, and stress a person can handle, and always ends up a bit over the line.
