Short Story Collections
'-a Me and Elsie story collection- Here’s some stories I writ down. Done it ’cause my best friend Jen said I oughta—what with us being some of the first gals to haul cargo ’cross the black reaches of the Up’n’up and all. She said I should put in some of the wisdom I learnt from Pap too ’cause he raised me up so fine. I always do what she says what with her being so smart and all. So here’s some of how I got my first ship Elsie. There’s some of how me and Jen was flyin’ for Planetary Engineering, workin’ them space lanes, and other bits ’bout the wonderful kinda men we met up with while stopping off at Tycho Tavern, Low-Gee Lounge on Mars, and the Europa LaunchPub (one a my personal-type favorites).
