The third book is now up on the website:
http://www.lindsayanthony.com/a-shining-thing--in-timeless-space.html
I'd love to hear how people like it, whether they do or whether they don't.
I don't want to disappoint anyone: it's not your typical science fiction. (Neither are the other two.) Here's the blurb describing it:
Hella Lundgren, famous concert pianist, originally from Sweden, now resident on Mars for many years, is about to embark on the voyage of a lifetime, to be one of the star performers at a music festival far away from home: in the Jovian System, consisting of three of the moons of Jupiter.
A homegrown movement has taken over the running there, secession is in the air, and both sides want to use Hella for their own purposes, with an eye to the PR benefit of having such a celebrity taking their part.
But nobody knows that Hella has just been diagnosed with a disease that will soon stop her from playing and, after that, kill her. Only those who are closest and dearest to her; and none of those are on board.
Hella has to work out what this knowledge means for her, for the shape of her whole life; she needs to understand her own feelings; beside her day job as a musician she now has a political job to do for which she feels woefully unprepared; and new perspectives and emotions are starting to burgeon, now near the end of her life, that create quite unexpected challenges.
