Sappho's Agency

On a planet with three women for every man.

Sappho and her bisexual partner, Daisy, insemination specialists, have landed the case of a lifetime: arrange an anonymous liaison between the most eligible bachelor on the planet and a mysterious young woman. The purpose: to produce a child. As Sappho and Daisy unravel the identity of the woman and the sexual fetishes of the couple, they discover an entangling mesh of politics, technology, and sexuality. Sappho encourages the young woman to throw off political restraints and follow her heart.

Lizzie Newell lives in Anchorage, Alaska where she writes steamy science fiction romance about the planet Fenria. She both publishes and illustrates her books and creates sculpture and costumes related to her fictional world. She was inspired to write by watching the tide flow out of Kootznaahoo Inlet when in Angoon, Alaska while volunteering to install computer networks in schools. She imagined the world of Fenria where the tide controls everything. On Fenria, men frequently die in fishing accidents. As a result, mothers choose to educate daughters instead of sons, and so Fenria has developed a matriarchy as well an unbalanced ratio of men and women.
