About the book
January 4126Lowtown 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.Drinking Songs is part of the Anatali science fiction universe: world primers, future history, glossary, and character bios can be found at anatali.com
