NETHERWOOD now available!
THERE’S A NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN…
And her name is Talia Fortune.
Her mission: capture the cyber outlaw, Kovner, who has smashed the computer interface on the offworld colony of Fresh Havens.
His Sherwood: the sentient Gray Forest, where he and a band of rebels hide from a deadly menace.
Kovner has discovered a dangerous secret that threatens Talia’s world and everything she thought she knew about herself. He and the answers await her, hidden in the Gray Forest, in a reality beyond everything she’s ever known. Her future lies in NETHERWOOD….
“Original, exciting…you can’t stop turning the pages!” —NYT Bestselling author Susan Squires
“Michele Lang enters the Shomi line in a big way with NETHERWOOD. Her clever world building makes this world in which technology reigns supreme seem real. The descriptions are so vividly drawn that even the strongest technophobe will easily find themselves enthralled by this enchanting tale.”—CK2S Kwips and Kritiques
“Ms. Lang’s writing has always been superb, yet the complexity of this plot and the relationships she has made integral to its furtherance shows that she is light years ahead of the game. Though there are elements of Robin Hood, the Matrix, Braveheart, and the Prisoner, just to name a few things implied in the text, they are freshly blended into something new that will challenge your mind and keep you hooked.” —Eternal Night
“It was a real competition to see which pair of beings had the hottest sexual encounters: Talia and Kovner or their avatars Amazonia and Avenger, or the two combined reaching each other telepathically. Suffice it to say this Sci-Fi is definitely a smoking hot romance in disguise. NETHERWOOD surprised me with its ability to please me on both the romance and Sci-Fi fronts…. I heartily recommend it.” - Romance Readers at Heart TOP PICK
MORE PRAISE for NETHERWOOD:
“The two leads are strong, intelligent and likable characters and the action-packed story kept me turning the pages…[T]he human vs. computer struggle woven through the story gives Netherwood a unique and deeply-felt quality which will make it a sure reread for me.” —All About Romance
“NETHERWOOD is one of those books that had me going back to re-read sections just for the beauty of the writing itself. The story and imagery are fascinating…you need to go buy NETHERWOOD.” – The Good, the Bad, and the Unread
“I love the concept and the setting of this story. It is easily one of the most interesting paranormal romances I’ve read.” -Mrs. Giggles
NETHERWOOD released in mass market paperback March 2008. This book is part of the new SHOMI line, which features hot romance in speculative realms, and amazing, powerful heroines.
Here’s the trailer some dear friends helped me to make:
NETHERWOOD tells the story of Talia Fortune, an intergalactic sheriff
who hunts and falls for a cyber outlaw in an offworld, sentient
Sherwood.
I think of NETHERWOOD as a futuristic Robin Hood story. Talia
Fortune has a lot to prove – she is the chief shareholder of world
corporation FortuneCorp and has lived in the shadow of the company’s
founder, Violet Fortune, all her life. She’s come to the planet of
Fresh Havens to make her name and cover herself in glory.
Unfortunately, Fresh Havens is no paradise – it’s more like a
carnivorous plant hungry for its next human sacrifice. She finds an
outpost of human rebels hiding in the Gray Forest, a dark and
primeval jungle filled with sentient swarms of bugs and wracked by
magnetic storms. Talia’s hunting a cyber outlaw named Kovner, a/k/a
The Avenger. And what she discovers when she finds him destroys her
world and everything she thought she knew about herself.

My Other Books
As many of you know, in addition to NETHERWOOD, I am the author of three other full length books and one novella. My former publisher filed for bankruptcy last year, and while I received the rights back to my books, their status is still in question. Your emails and letters asking after these books mean a lot to me, but I can’t tell you when these books will become available once more. MS. PENDRAGON, which was released in paperback, is still available on Amazon and in bookstores while supplies last.
