      Summer of Love

      A San Francisco Chronicle Recommended Book of the Year

      A Philip K. Dick Award Finalist

      Remarkable. . . .a whole array of beautifully portrayed characters along the spectrum from outright heroism to villainy. . . .not what you expected of a book with flowers in its hair. . . the intellect on display within these psychedelically packaged pages is clear-sighted, witty, and wise.

      —Locus Magazine

      A fine novel packed with vivid detail, colorful characters, and genuine insight.

      —The Washington Post Book World

      Captures the moment perfectly and offers a tantalizing glimpse of its wonderful and terrible consequences.

      —The San Francisco Chronicle

      Brilliantly crafted. . . .An engrossing tale spun round a very clever concept.

      —Katharine Kerr, author of Days of Air and Darkness

      "Just imagine The Terminator in love beads, set in the Haight-Ashbury ‘hood of 1967."

      —Entertainment Weekly

      Mason has an astonishing gift. Her characters almost walk off the page. And the story is as significant as anyone could wish. This book will surely be on the prize ballots.

      —Analog

      A priority purchase.

      —Library Journal

      The Gilded Age

      A New York Times Notable Book

      A New York Public Library Recommended Book

      A winning mixture of intelligence and passion.

      —The New York Times Book Review

      Should both leave the reader wanting more and solidify Mason’s position as one of the most interesting writers in science fiction.

      —Publishers Weekly

      Rollicking. . .Dazzling. . .Mason’s characters are just as endearing as her world.

      —Locus Magazine

      Graceful prose. . . A complex and satisfying plot.

      —Library Journal

      One Day in the Life of Alexa

      Incorporates lively prose, past/present time jumps, and the consequences of longevity technology. An absorbing read with an appealing narrator and subtly powerful emotional rhythms.

      —Goodreads

      Five Stars! Like all the truly great scifi writers, what [Lisa Mason] really writes about is you and me and today and what is really important in life. . . . I enjoyed every word.

      —Reader Review

      The Garden of Abracadabra

      So refreshing! This is Stephanie Plum in the world of Harry Potter.

      —Goodreads

      Fun and enjoyable urban fantasy

      "This is a very entertaining novel—sort of a down-to-earth Harry Potter with a modern adult woman in the lead. Even as Abby has to deal with mundane concerns like college and running the apartment complex she works at, she is surrounded by supernatural elements and mysteries that she is more than capable of taking on. Although this book is just the first in a series, it
