A fast-paced, adult science fiction novel with the heart of a coming-of-age story, Fluctuations is all about finding out just what you can do when put to the test.

Fluctuations (and its sequel Transitions) are complete!

The set-up...

All Rosaria Serrano wants to do for her impending thirtieth birthday is go on a cruise with her best friend Abby, party, and meet a hot guy until returning home to the downward spiral of Old Age.

A vacation before stepping into her ambassadorial position on Earth sounds just right to Ma’tha’skiyainashtra (Martha, to the humans), but the ticket her eldest son gives her to a cruise into the heart of an unknown and unpredictable region of space isn’t quite what she had in mind.

Full Service Robot #3907665, aka FSR Bob #39 aka Bob, does his job the best he can. If that’s not quite up to the level of his shiny new rivals, well, he’s been around the block and his programming’s been “improved” maybe one too many times.

Unable to take his uncle’s abuse any longer, sixteen-year-old Evan Gallagher stows aboard the state-of-the-art cruiseship, The Connemara, for her journey into The Fluctuation in search of the parents he lost to it when he was a toddler.

Shortly after The Connemara enters the Fluctuations, all hands are forced to abandon ship during a cataclysmic failure, but Rosaria, Martha, Bob, and Evan get left behind. They must travel through the dangerous part of space surviving brutal pirates, alien first contacts, and deadly space phenomena to get home.

If they don’t learn to work together–and in some cases to grow up–then like so many others, they’ll never make it out of The Fluctuation alive.
