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.)

5.0 out of 5 stars WARNING!!!! SPOILER ALERT!!!, January 21, 1999

This review is from: Godheads (Paperback)

IF YOU DON'T WANT THIS BOOK TO BE SPOILED DON'T READ ANYMORE REVIEWS. For some reason, the previous reviewers thought it was cool to spill the beans and ruin the big surprise for anyone who reads them. If you know what they say, it'll ruin the whole damned effect of the book. So, take my word for it... this is a great book. I love all of Devenport's books and I wasn't disappointed by this one.

This review is from: Godheads (Paperback)

Edna and Aten are two of the most popular gals in the universe. Everyone wants them for something, from their original assignment to take down the Net to having others convince them to do something else. They're tough and smart and survive everything from desert landscapes to wandering through rifts in time.

Devenport does a great job of making an alien society come to life through human encounters with it. Godheads was an enjoyable read.
