LORI JANESKI

LORI JANESKI

A proud citizen of the Lone Star State, Lori Janeski wonders why the rest of the country can’t be more Texan, why the rest of the world isn’t more Polish, and what planet Yankees originally came from. A graduate of Christendom College, she has strong views on the liturgy, movies, Texan sports teams, the Final Fantasy franchise, and the proper way to cook pierogi. In addition to blogging about those and other topics, she spends her time playing the organ, writing about space detectives, minding both her husband and her munchkin, and searching for the perfect salsa.

She also has a short story that appears in Tuscany Bay's Planetary Anthology Series: Luna.

BOOK #1: PHOENIX

Humanity has colonized the solar system, but crime still doesn’t pay. David Carter is one of the most decorated agents in the Interplanetary Police Forces, but for the last two years, he’s turned reckless, throwing himself into his work—or into the path of a criminal’s bolt pistol. As a specialist in deception analysis and interrogation, Veronique de Tournay has been right where she wants to be: a profiler in the major cases bureau, Division 7.

Unfortunately, the director has reassigned her to Special Agent Carter, and neither of them are happy about it. After they stop a devastating attack on Mars, meant to kill thousands and cripple interplanetary travel, Carter and de Tournay discover evidence of other subversive attacks in the system. With time running out, the reluctant partners may be the only ones standing in the way of a conspiracy that stretches all the way from Luna to the Saturn Space Station.

BOOK #2: RAVEN

Revenge is a dish best served in space.

Dozens of children across the Interplanetary Commonwealth have disappeared from their homes. There are no motives, no ransom demands, no bodies, and nothing to connect the victims to each other – except the kidnapper’s signature, a single raven feather left at each scene.

With no progress on the case, it has been reassigned to Special Agent David Carter and his new team of Division 7 agents. Together with his wife, retired agent and profiler Veronique Carter, they must race against the clock--and obstacles within their own agency--to find the missing children before it’s too late.

But the closer they get to the culprit, the more it appears his real target might be them.
