Oh, hey! I'm glad you liked it. :)
'Rafts' and 'Far Flung' are pretty different books... depends whether you're keen on romantasy or science fiction. Both are very much character-driven stories, so they have that in common!

Yeah, she's been doing it for a bit now... we've had adjacent tables at one or two cons, her with her crochet and me with my books. She outsells me about 5 to 1, of course!
