<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>In this lush interplanetary tale, Novic is an immortal Sayneth priest who flouts the conventions of a matriarchal society by choosing a name for his child. This act initiates chaos that splits the boy in two, unleashing a Jekyll-and-Hyde child upon the universe. Named T-Mo by his mother and Odysseus by his father, the story spans the boy's lifetime -- from his early years with his mother Silhouette on planet Grovea to his travels to Earth where he meets and marries Salem, and together they bear a hybrid named Myra. The story unfolds through the eyes of these three distinctive women: Silhouette, Salem and Myra. As they confront their fears and navigate the treacherous paths to love and accept T-Mo/Odysseus and themselves, the darkness in Odysseus urges them to unbearable choices that threaten their very existence.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>In this lush interplanetary tale, Novic is an immortal Sayneth priest who flouts the conventions of a matriarchal society by choosing a name for his child.

Come for the music, stay for the story." --Michael Pryor, author of <i>Gap Year in Ghost Town</i> and the "Laws of Magic" series<br /><br /> "<i>Claiming T-Mo</i> is a whimsical blend of fantasy and science fiction, an engaging story accented by Eugen's unique style." --Milton Davis, <br /> author of "The Gunman" Series, <i>Meji </i>books 1 & 2, and <i>Amber and the Hidden City</i><br><br>(5 stars) "[Bacon's] eloquent, elegant and lyrical prose gripped me from the very first sentence of this immensely passionate, moving and thought-provoking story ... [an] amazing, magical book." --Linda Hepworth, <i>NB Magazine </i>- UK<br><br>"<i>Claiming T-Mo</i> is more than a novel--it is a life force, a beautiful and heartfelt sentience that speaks to you in equal parts charm, thrill, and wonder." --Eric J. Guignard, award-winning author and editor, including <i>That Which Grows Wild </i>and <i>A World of Horror</i><br><br>"Bacon explores a four-generation alien family saga in this gleeful, wacky debut." --<i>Publishers Weekly</i><br><br>"Bacon's sentences are endlessly full of these nimble, assured, madly inventive leaps. Her work is striking; I've never read anything like it." --Keith Rosson, award-winning author of <i>The Mercy of the Tide </i>and <i>Smoke City</i><br><br>"Lush, hypnotic and absorbing.
