BLADE DANCER

Available from Champagne Books

Emerging from an ancient civil war with only a patchwork of once-powerful technologies, the Qurls are threatened by new weapons in the hands of old enemies. Driven by the guilt of a comrade’s death, Mikial reaches out through her own divided heritage to discover the humans behind the guns. The one enemy she didn’t expect to face was her own people. The one ally she didn’t plan on being saved by was human.

Blade Dancer was edited by Champagne Books editor James Woods and copy edited by none other than J Ellen Smith herself.

My thanks to Ellen out at Champagne Books who has given Blade Dancer the kiss of life. The novel is currently available in both trade paperback and e-book. Currently, Blade Dancer is on Champagne's best seller list.

This is Science Fiction/Adventure.  Champagne Books has boldly expanded into other genres, and Blade Dancer is certainly a complete departure from the staple of exellent Romance books people have come to expect from the publisher. If Romance or Romance/SF is your interest, I suggest you look at Celestial Dragon by Ciara Gold.

The cover art was designed by chief graphics artist Christopher Butts at Champagne Books. It shows two worlds in opposition, overlaid by the Datha Qurl symbol and bordered by battle patterns similar to those sewn into Datha uniforms.
