She has some sci-fi series about some seen-it-all, done-it-all 50 year-old cyborg female Canadian warrior (lol!) Just the descriptions alone make the books sound horrible, and it seems like its every single sci-fi plot boiled down to one. Yet the books get some good reviews.
The books:
1. Hammered [sounds like me on Friday nite!]
Once Jenny Casey was somebody?s daughter. Once she was somebody?s enemy. Now the former Canadian special forces warrior lives on the hellish streets of Hartford, Connecticut, in the year 2062. Racked with pain, hiding from the government she served, running with a crime lord so she can save a life or two, Jenny is a month shy of fifty, and her artificially reconstructed body has started to unravel. But she is far from forgotten. A government scientist needs the perfect subject for a high-stakes project and has Jenny in his sights. Suddenly Jenny Casey is a pawn in a furious battle, waged in the corridors of the Internet, on the streets of battered cities, and in the complex wirings of her half-man-made nervous system. And she needs to gain control of the game before a brave new future spins completely out of control.
2. Scardown [what?]
The year is 2062, and after years on the run, Jenny Casey is back in the Canadian armed forces. Those who were once her enemies are now her allies, and at fifty, she's been handpicked for the most important mission of her life -- a mission for which her artificially reconstructed body is perfectly suited. With the earth capable of sustaining life for just another century, Jenny -- as pilot of the starship Montreal?must discover brave new worlds. And with time running out, she must succeed where others have failed.
Now Jenny is caught in a desperate battle where old resentments become bitter betrayals and justice takes the cruelest forms of vengeance. With the help of a brilliant AI, an ex?crime lord, and the man she loves, Jenny may just get her chance to save the world. If it doesn?t come to an end first?
And coming soon...
3. Worldwired [??? I thought we were all moving to wireless]
