Mosaic of Air

Delving into lecturing spiders, Helen of Troy, seaside libraries, computers that fall in love, murder and memory; but most of all humour, and a delight in all that women can be.

Praise for the first edition:
Cherry Potts writes with economy, punch, panache. - Ellen Galford
Definitely about women in space, not the usual glossy tomboys of standard sf. - Gwyneth Jones
Delightful … both a hilarious spoof of one-man-and-his computer myths such as 2001, a Space Odyssey; and a reflection on the limits of love and power. - Zoë Fairbairns
