Velvet of Swords will soon be available on Smashwords. The first three chapters were published as a contest winner (Honorable Mention) in Star Anthology.
Velvet of Swords (Swords is the name of her family keep) is a science fiction adventure set in the far future on a planet colonized by Terrans. Well, there were complications because of the first settlers (humanoid), who amused themselves with genetic engineering, among other things.
