Works
- Sleipnir -- Baen (1994), read online As Evans' first published work, Sleipnir required ten years to produce between beginning to write and its first printing.
- Far Edge of Darkness -- Baen; First Edition (July 1, 1996) read online
While many assume that Sleipnir was intended to be part of a series, this is not actually true. The novel was always intended to be a stand-alone work. A possible sequel has been contemplated. The ending is Heinleinian, in that it suggests action to come without actually intending for the story to continue. While some readers find this unsatisfying, the book did not, as is sometimes reported, end on a cliffhanger.
The second novel, Far Edge of Darkness, was intended as the first half of the story and it does end with a literal cliffhanger, meaning the story is unfinished and has been since 1996. The sequel is currently in outline stage.
The "Hell's Gate" series, for which nothing has been added since 2007, is still in development. The first two books have been published in the "Hell's Gate" series and a third book is under development. The author apologizes to her readers, but continuing serious health problems have made writing difficult for her.

Famous quotes containing the word works:
“Piety practised in solitude, like the flower that blooms in the desert, may give its fragrance to the winds of heaven, and delight those unbodied spirits that survey the works of God and the actions of men; but it bestows no assistance upon earthly beings, and however free from taints of impurity, yet wants the sacred splendour of beneficence.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“The family that perseveres in good works will surely have an abundance of blessings.”
—Chinese proverb.
“Science is feasible when the variables are few and can be enumerated; when their combinations are distinct and clear. We are tending toward the condition of science and aspiring to do it. The artist works out his own formulas; the interest of science lies in the art of making science.”
—Paul Valéry (1871–1945)
