About this ebook

How do you hide a chaos god on a partially terraformed world? Sil stays on her hilltop farm, the payout from 20 years fighting the border wars.

But the farm's damaged AI herds sheep into symbols visible from orbit. Not knowing how to channel the chaos elsewhere, Sil enlists the help of a former enemy soldier.

Sparks fly when chaos and luck collide.

Ride along on this extraordinary space western full of gods, AIs, nanobots, and hope.

Wasn't sure about it at first. It's a little confusing, having to pick up the back story as you go. But it ended up being one of the most original books I've read in a long time. Which is a very good thing. I could not put it down, seriously. My laundry went undone, housework, even sleep. Just so I could find out how Sil,Crumble, and Stuck in the Mud brought their story to a conclusion. Can't wait to see what happens next on Jackpots Drift. Only after the laundry, vacuuming, and meal prep is done.......'cause I knew what is gonna happen.

About the author

T. M. Baumgartner is a speculative fiction writer who has difficulty following directions. This probably explains why the IRS recalculates her tax refund after she files it every year. At various times she has been a veterinarian, Unix system administrator, software developer, and after-hours book-shelver in a medical library.

Theresa currently lives in Northern California in a house with too many animals. She knits hats for garden gnomes and fails to grow tomatoes despite living in the perfect climate for them.

She also writes cozy mysteries under the pen name Tess Baytree.
