Just one last bet...
Common Sense Officer Ash Payne can't say no to a bet, and the handsome Captain Lin Solis knows it.

Clone shenanigans, world-hopping, and a "it's complicated" romance are on the table. Will she be able to gamble her way out of this? Or will this uncommon universe stack the odds against her?

The Feel
Gambling on Common Sense is a science fiction comedy with sprinklings of romance and fantastical elements. It is a character driven story with plenty of hijinks along the way. The prose is a bit like if Douglas Adam's Hitchhiker's guide, Martha Well's Murderbot Diaries, and Arnold Drake's Guardians of the Galaxy gambled together. That is to say ... it's a fun romp through space, time, and pocket dimensions.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
At 4 years old, Briar's home burned down. Worried for her daughter, her mother began reading to her at night. The Hobbit, Harry Potter, and a waterfall of other stories gave Briar an appreciation for fiction's escapism. Unfortunately, this led to a terrible affliction called becoming a storyteller. As of writing these words, there is no known cure.She tried to fight it by studying magic-or as some call it-engineering at The Ohio State University. She even became a productive member of society, hopscotching across the USA in the age-old effort of "making a living." But after settling in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, she was forced to face the truth: sometimes, you just have to write things down.In their free time, Briar enjoys hiking, board gaming with friends, and stabbing people with foam swords. Today, they are the author of over 42 short stories, and their 535%-funded Kickstarter hit, Gambling on Common Sense: Rationality, Romance, and the Space Between, is now available on Amazon.
