Her sf, which is much more recent, comprises the Moonfall sequence – Moonfall (1991), The Child of Atwar (1993) and The Taming (1996) – which vividly explores a Ruined Earth environment through the experiences of twins who share the same body. A later novel, The Flourish (2004), is nonfantastic crime fiction. [JC]
