About the author

I grew up in California, one of those horse-mad girls.
Horse books, Horse drawings, riding lessons . . . the parents finally surrendered when I was thirteen and bought a horse. And another. And another.
I still have two, a granddaughter and great grandson of my first very own, don't-have-to-share-with-the-sisters, horse.
My reading slipped from horse and dog stories to science fiction, but even though I'm writing science fiction, there seem to be rather a lot of horses in the stories, somehow. And dinosaurs.
My stories in my favorite Fictional Universe, Wine of the Gods, are going up, book by book. In internal chronology:
Outcasts and Gods -- A stand alone novel.
Exiles and Gods -- Three novellas.
The Black Goats -- A stand alone novel.
Explorers -- First of a series.
Spy Wars -- Second.
Comet Fall -- Third.
A Taste of Wine -- A short story collection.
The Dark Lady -- Last of the series, but not the last in this universe.
Growing Up Magic -- Three novellas.
Young Warriors -- Stand alone novel.
God of Assassins -- Stand alone novel.
Empire of the One -- Stand alone novel.
Dancer -- Stand alone novel in the Empire of the One.
Warriors of the one -- Short story in the Empire of the One.
Earth Gate -- Novel.
Mages at Large -- Novella.
Triplets -- Novella
Sea Wolves -- Novella.
Bad Karma -- Short story.
Darkside of the Moon -- Novella.
Cascades -- A collection of stories.
Olympian -- Novella in the Empire of the One.
Embassy -- Novel.
One the Run -- A collection of stories.
Rael -- Two stories in the Empire of the One.
God of the Sun -- Novel.
Cannibal World -- Novella.
The Directorate Series is a spin off, following three young characters from previous stories: Ra'd the time-displaced Warrior of the One, Paer Withione, the President's daughter, and Ebsa Clostuone "Kitchen" from Dancer.
Directorate School -- Novel.
A Tale of Three Interns -- Novella.
Trouble in Paradise -- Novella.
First Posting -- Short story.
Surveillance -- Short story.
Fort Dinosaur -- Novella.
I'm currently working on a print Omnibus of the Directorate stories. I ought to get that out this summer.
And I might manage to squeeze out three more stories in 2017.

Due to the cross-series nature of this book, I wouldn't recommend reading it until you've read the other books in the series first, at minimum: Outcasts and Gods, Explorers, Spy Wars, Comet Fall, Dark Lady, and Warriors. Each of those books are also fantastic reads which I'm confident you'll find very enjoyable.
One thing jarred me. At the beginning we're introduced to several characters and I expect them to be who we'll be following. Soon, however, we're looking at completely new characters and the original characters retreat very much into the background. As it happens, much of the story action is the result of what they were doing in the background but I expected a more active, on stage, roll given that beginning.
That's a distinctly minor point, though. Ms. Uphoff produced an intriguing mix of magic and technology. Or is it? Is the magic, magic or simply a different form of technology? I'm either case I enjoyed it and the story around it.
There was adventure. There was romance (some, anyway). There was political intrigue.
This story is interesting because it take place almost entirely on the home planet of the "Empire of the One". As usually for this series, the characters are very strong. The only flaw in this novel is the naming convention used by the Oners is confusing.
This series really resonated with me. I read all 19 current volumes in about 30 days.
