Hurricane Moon
Pyr SF&F
ISBN 978-1-59102-545-0
"Love flourishes amid technical puzzles and planetary mysteries in Latner's strong
debut... Well-known for her hard SF short fiction, Latner should win new readers with
this fine first novel."—Publisher's Weekly
"For those of us entertained by contemplating starship designs, planetary choice
criteria, and biological considerations, this book has it all. But the book is also a
great read for those who enjoy science fiction about people making choices based on the
kind of world and future they want to build for themselves."—National Space
Society Book Reviews
"Atmospheric, haunting and evocative, Hurricane Moon is not to be
missed."—Starlog
"Top pick! …The characters are well defined; the science is
imaginative but not whimsical; and the voyage is out of this world."—Romantic
Times
"Hurricane Moon…is a resonant achievement."—Washington
Post Book World

Hello and welcome to my web site.

photo by Dale Pizzo
I write speculative fiction and belong to the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America
(SFWA). I also work at the Rice University Library in Houston, Texas and teach creative
writing through Rice University's School of Continuing Studies.
When not making flights of the mind - i.e., stories - my favorite activity is flying sailplanes. I
have a private pilot glider rating and friends who own wonderful power planes. So the sky
always beckons.
I also write nonfiction. My articles on academic and technical as well as aviation-related
topics have appeared in international, national, and regional print and online magazines. I
edit and do some business-related and public relations writing too.
I have an MA in Systematic Theology from the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, California. At
the GTU, I affiliated with the Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences. There I was
able to explore the relationship between religion and science before I started writing science
fiction. My science fiction and fantasy tends to have theological or spiritual angles.
