The building of the hadron collider was once big news, but now it is just part of the scenery for most of the community, until Airlie and other children start showing unusual gifts. Airlie uses her psi abilities to solve a number of mysteries and crimes at her school and in her neighborhood - and comes to the attention of Inspector Jonathan Humble of Minor Crimes. Towards the end of the school year, Airlie gets two intriguing invitations: an offer of a scholarship to a new middle school with 'opportunity classes' in exotic subjects like Quantum Psychology, and a free place at a summer camp run by Inspector Humble. The two invitations and her emergent psionic talents are clearly connected, and Airlie can't resist the opportunity to learn more about her gifts and to meet others with psyq powers at the camp. But Airlie ends up in a desperate race to rescue one of her new friends. This story is set in the "Appearance of Magic" universe, and is Hard Science Fiction - that is it is founded on real science.

Reviews "A middle grade adventure with an original twist and a cast of endearing young heroes, Time for PsyQ is a phenomenally fun read, a kind of mash-up of Scooby Doo and Harry Potter. Like other young fellowship series, the key is the strong relationship dynamics, which are especially strong here, and the premise is enchanting from the start." - SPR 'A cleverly plotted supernatural adventure for middle graders and young teenagers with a strong cast of young characters and a memorable protagonist... there's an Enid Blyton feel to the book, particularly when she's solving a mystery.' - The Wishing Shelf Awards 'Time for PsyQ is a super-engrossing science fiction novel penned by Marti Ward.

What a 21st!Eva's big birthday 'present' was a tired old spaceship lost in space and time, a motley crew of amnesiac patients, 500 colonists in cryo, and a mission that would take a lifetime - assuming she could keep everyone alive till they made planetfall.SS Moraturi is a Lunar Earth Transfer Orbiter - a kind of spider robot designed to construct space stations and ships in and around the Earth-Moon Lagrange points 1 and 2. Now Moraturi is taking two cryoholds full of colonists to New Eden, an earth-like planet in the Paradisi system, 2.5 million light years from Earth in the Andromeda galaxy.Eva's problem is that the trip that was to take one year is now going to take decades - their emergency supplies were based on 200% of expected needs for just 16 crew members with the 500 passengers in cryo, and the cryotechnology can't keep them alive for even a decade at a stretch. And the success of the mission will be in the hands of a bunch of teenagers.Casindra Lost and Moraturi Lost take us on two different ships as they commence their mission, and each is the start of a separate arc, arcs that take several books to resolve. Each volume is designed to be readable on its own, and provide all you need of the backstory without unnecessary spoilers. But the stories and arcs are not independent, and intertwine in a number of ways - still you can read either arc independently, starting either one and picking up the other later.Casindra Lost won the Gold Medal in Science Fiction in the 2021 Global Book Awards for Self-Publishing, while Moraturi Lost won Silver in Science Fiction/Adventure, and together with Moraturi Ring won Silver for Science Fiction Series in the 2021 Global Book Awards.
