This novella introduces Amelia Herzog, the author of the Eclipsis series of memoirs, writing under her married name, Amalie, 'Gravina Aaranyi (Lady Amalie).
Sometimes you're still coming of age at thirty-five. Sometimes you have to travel halfway across the universe to find your home.
Life on sweltering Planet Earth isn't working for Amelia Herzog. She's light-sensitive, with protective third eyelids that appear at the first glimmer of UV rays. And she hears other people's thoughts, a one-way conversation that's more isolating than intimate.
Eclipsis, a cold, dark planet settled centuries ago by refugees from Earth's climate catastrophe, a place where eco-tourists visit but no one wants to live, seems like the perfect place for Amelia to disappear. Instead, she discovers a world of choices, the possibility of love and, perhaps, a way to turn a curse into a gift.
In <i>Recognition</i>, the first book of the ECLIPSIS series of Lady Amalie's memoirs, Amelia takes a job on Eclipsis and meets the one person who truly shares her thoughts. Before long she's on her way to a new career, a new identity, and a chance to realize her full potential as a telepath.
With the ECLIPSIS series, Ann Herendeen writes, as always, from "the third perspective," taking readers back to the future as she puts her unique twist on the sword-and-sorcery genre.
Oscar Wilde might have welcomed such a transfiguration.

Praise for Phyllida and the Brotherhood of Philander
Sparkling with Regency wit and panache ... a brilliant exploration of love, sexuality, class, and gender, but above all … a wonderful love story.
Jani Brooks
Praise for Phyllida and the Brotherhood of Philander
Impeccable research, fantastic characters … Be prepared to be shocked, to learn something about the Regency world, and to laugh out loud. Ms. Herendeen writes a dynamite tale. I very highly recommend this clever story and give it a Perfect 10.
John Charles
Praise for Phyllida and the Brotherhood of Philander
With caustic wit, some wildly original characters, and plenty of sex, Herendeen creates her own delightfully imaginative and boldly sensual take on the classic Regency marriage-of-convenience plot.
Laura Miller
Praise for Pride/Prejudice
Herendeen does a better job than most of approximating Austen's style without aping it.
Ann Herendeen is the author of Phyllida and the Brotherhood of Philander (2008) and Pride/Prejudice (2010), a finalist for the 2011 Lambda Literary Award in the Bisexual Fiction category.
