Brave New Girls: Tales of Girls and Gadgets - Couverture souple

This collection of sci-fi stories features brainy young heroines who use their smarts to save the day. Girls who fix robots and construct superhero suits, hack interstellar corporations and build virtual reality platforms. Who experiment with alien chemicals and tinker with time machines. Who defy expectations and tap into their know-how—in the depths of space, or the bounds of dystopia, or the not-too-distant future—to solve despicable crimes, talk to extraterrestrials, and take down powerful villains. All revenues from sales of this anthology will be donated a scholarship fund through the Society of Women Engineers. Let’s show the world that girls, too, can be tomorrow’s inventors, programmers, scientists, and more. STORIES BY: Martin Berman-Gorvine, Paige Daniels, George Ebey, Mary Fan, Kimberly G.

PAIGE DANIELS is the pen name of Tina Closser. She is the author of Non-Compliance, a dystopian cyberpunk trilogy. By day, she works as an electrical engineer and a mom. After the kids go to bed, she rocks out with her headphones turned to eleven and cranks out books. She is an uber science geek who can be found tooling around in her makerspace or coaching robot teams when she’s not writing books. If she weren’t married to the most terrific guy in the world, she would be a groupie for Adam Baldwin. MARY FAN is a hopeless dreamer whose mind insists on spinning tales of “what if.” As a music major at Princeton, she told those stories through compositions. Now, she tells them through books. “Takes a Hacker” is part of the Jane Colt sci-fi universe, which also comprises Artificial Absolutes (Red Adept Publishing, 2013), Synthetic Illustions (Red Adept Publishing, 2014), and Virtual Shadows (2015). Mary is also the author of the Flynn Nightsider and Fated Stars series, published by Glass House Press.
