Tangerine by Wodke Hawkinson

Our first novel was Tangerine. We then went on to write and publish our short story collections and other novels (Betrayed, Betrayed - Alternate Ending, Zeke). So, Tangerine was not the first book we published. Now, after some revision, Tangerine is finally available.

Tangerine is simply a story set in the future. If that makes it science fiction, then it's soft sci-fi. Won't leave a bruise, we promise.
Here is the description:

A young scientist, Ava Majestic, is pitted against a egotistical billionaire, Augustus Agnotico. He believes she is in possession of an artifact with special powers and hires a rogue, Needle, to follow her as she travels through space, investigating planets to clear them for habitation. Needle is drawn to Ava, quits working for Agnotico, and teams up with her.

On the planet Tangerine they encounter life forms never before seen, confront danger, and discover a treasure of immense power. Ava and Needle learn they are the heirs to a fantastic device. In the face of Agnotico’s relentless pursuit the couple must find a way to prevent Agnotico from gaining possession of their legacy, even if it means his death.

From the wild reaches of space and time Tangerine takes the reader into a future where long-distance space travel is commonplace and aliens are a natural part of everyday life.

We hope you enjoy it!
