Cheryl Lynn isn't quite sure who she is, but she's pretty sure of what she wants to be. A warrior woman. A bad-ass mamajama. Perhaps an earth goddess extraordinaire. She spends her days abusing keyboards and screaming at computer screens while she waits for her cult following to finally show up.

The suave and seductive adventurer of the group? Asian. That's something you don't usually see in books from this side of the Pacific. The female characters? Just as strong and as capable and as suitably dressed as the male ones. And of course, when the main black female character hasn't swapped races by the end of the series, that's usually a good sign as well.
