THE LUCK OF THE DEVIL (novel)
by Stephanie M Bennion

Susan Jones, a transgender woman struggling to get by in the economic woes of 1990s Britain, is under the care of psychiatrist Doctor Mordussen. He in turn is obsessed by her disturbing nightmares. But are her demons real? Read more...

A kidnapped prince, a school band competition and an electric cat that eats everything in sight!

Here starts the tale of Ravana O’Brien, the intrepid teenage heroine of the series, a half-Australian, half-Indian trainee engineer who lives with her father in a forgotten asteroid colony ship drifting around Barnard’s Star. What began as a minor escapade to rescue her erratic electric cat soon becomes a fast-paced mystery of interstellar intrigue, taking Ravana and friends back into the civil war from which she and her father had fled. Hollow Moon is an incredible planet-hopping adventure into the shady world of politics, rebellion and school band competitions; a tale of mystery, humour and thrills!

The first novel from The Worlds Of Hollow Moon.

On the forbidding planet of Falsafah, archaeologists are on the verge of a discovery that will shake the five systems to the core.

Ravana O’Brien, the reluctant young heroine of Hollow Moon, finds herself on another wild adventure, this time in the company of two extra-terrestrial greys, a cake-obsessed secret agent and a mysterious little boy wanted by the alien-worshipping Dhusarian Church. A perilous quest across the deadly deserts of Falsafah brings them into conflict with cyberclone monks, homicidal giant spiders, a psychotic nurse and a god-like cat woman with secrets of her own. Back on Ascension, can detective Ostara and reporter Fornax uncover the truth? Paw-Prints Of The Gods is a space-opera mystery set around the discovery of ancient alien ruins on a desert planet; and a prophecy that may or may not be real...

The second novel from The Worlds Of Hollow Moon.

Raja Surya, young heir to the moon of Yuanshi, cannot stay out of trouble for long. Zotz Wak, intrepid boy inventor, decides Earth is the place to become a man.

The eponymous City Of Deceit is the dystopian 23rd-century London, ravaged by rising sea levels, social inequalities and terrible politics. The United Nations is deciding the fate of Surya’s world. The Que Qiao Corporation is using the threat of alien monsters to call for war. Ravana O’Brien, the heroine of previous adventures, is stricken with a mystery illness and her hollow moon home has problems of its own. With the first ever interstellar battleships making their appearance, the far-flung worlds of the five systems would never be the same again. Taranis, the dark priest of destiny, has returned!

The third novel from The Worlds Of Hollow Moon.

A petty thief is offered riches to steal a very special device, but has he let the genie out of the bottle? Can a poor, down-trodden kitchen slave find her prince in the shape of a young, dashing space captain? A priest is rescued after a quest to find the mythical alien home world ends in disaster, but who is the mysterious stranger wearing his boots? A man caught up in a war wonders if he can go on, but can a hologram hope to convince him by showing the greatest blunders of his life? It is supposed to be the season of goodwill!

THE WORLDS OF HOLLOW MOON
by Steph Bennion

THE AVALON JOB (HOLLOW MOON #4)
The Avalon Job will be the fourth novel in the Hollow Moon series. As the title suggests (to those familiar with previous stories, anyway), Ravana O'Brien and friends find themselves in the Alpha Centauri system, where the brutal Gods of Avalon holovid show subjects third-rate celebrities to a fantasy world made real by a sadistic audience. This story will be about the games people (and other beings) play, in more ways than one. I've written five chapters to date, but I'm not a speedy writer (City Of Deceit took two and a half years from synopsis to publication), so The Avalon Job is unlikely to appear before 2020.

"Santa Claustrophobia" (short story)
This year's Christmas story catches up with Zotz and Aurora, now in South America, who are faced with the tricky challenge of a disgruntled shopping mall Santa on Christmas Eve. This seasonal special will be published in December. Steph.
