More About the Author

I have written under three pen names: as Emily Devenport I wrote SHADE, LARISSA, SCORPIANNE, EGGHEADS, THE KRONOS CONDITION, and GODHEADS. As Maggy Thomas I wrote BROKEN TIME, which was nominated for the Philip K. Dick award. As Lee Hogan I wrote BELARUS and ENEMIES. My books have been published in the U.S., the U.K., Israel, and Italy. I just published two Emily Devenport e-books, THE NIGHT SHIFTERS and SPIRITS OF GLORY. They can be read on your kindle -- look for them on amazon! I'm always working on new books, usually two or three at once, so keep checking my page for updates. I live in Arizona, a wonderfully strange place where I enjoy hiking, gardening, rockhounding, and writing. I also review books on amazon as Emily Hogan. (No, I don't have Multiple Personality Disorder -- just Multiple Pen Name Disorder.)

I enjoyed this book very much. It had some very original ideas. It also had a plot and was not hung up in "the Green Theme" I am getting tired of. It is exciting and have looked the author up and decided to read more of her work. Good reading for me!

Eggheads, like all of Emily Devenport's books is a creative masterpiece. Her characters are believable, likeable and just plain fun! But it's been ten years now since her last book. Don't know where she went but I hope she comes back!

4.0 out of 5 stars Creative mainstream sci-fi, cool female protagonist, October 12, 1997

Emily Devenport's most recent novel, Eggheads, is a creative tale about a determined young woman. The portrait of the society and characters painted in the book is mainstream sci-fi, but the telling from the female main character's viewpoint is fresh and well done. Some mature themes.
