In the years that followed, I wrote many stories about her, some of which were published in Analog, Daily Science Fiction, and other magazines.

In my upcoming collection, Maradia’s Robot Emporium, you can find all these stories along with 10 brand new stories! This is my answer to Isaac Asimov’s I, Robot, to Johnny 5 from Short Circuit, to D.A.R.Y.L., and so many other works of fiction that explored the limits of humanity through the lens of artificial life.

I hope you love reading this book, and I hope you come to love Maradia and her many robots as much as I do!

Preorder from Kindle, Smashwords, and other ebook retailers! (Paperbacks coming soon…)
