It is the early 22nd century. War and pandemics have ravaged the world. War-orphan Dena Sinclair is eking out an existence for herself and her foster siblings in a slum suburb of Toronto, Canada.

An unexpected event opens a door to opportunity beyond her wildest imaginings. Stepping through will require courage. Her life will change in ways she never foresaw. They will test her mettle. Her family. Her worldview. Even her conscience. Will she succeed?

Stepping Through takes place in a future we could be creating today. Despite the dystopic setting, these three SciFi novelettes celebrate friendship, loyalty and love – all the things that make us human.

About the Author

L. M. Spilsbury

L.M. Spilsbury talks to her dogs, rides a retired racehorse named Larry, and loves long conversations while holding hands with her partner the Scuba Diver. They live on a small rural property, which they share with an assortment of wild critters, including several cheeky squirrels that keep trying to nest in their cars. She has a Master’s degree in Biomedical Sciences, and for most of her life, she spent her daylight hours in a chemistry lab, supervising the analysis of animal-derived food in support of food safety in her home province. After hours, she focused on her passions, the three ‘r’s’ – reading, riding and (w)riting. Now, she’s finally living her dream, and has become a real live SciFi-Fantasy author.

She has written a number of science fiction novels set in the next century in Toronto, Canada. These include Immunity Cage, Immunity Bond, Immunity Flight, as well as a collection of novelettes, Stepping Through. Periodically she offers short-fiction freebies to her newsletter subscribers.
