August Mae

August Mae writes warm, hopeful science fiction in the cozy tradition: low on peril, high on heart, and built for the kind of evening that wants a blanket and a pot of tea. The **Robot Wrangler Roy** novellas follow Roy and the found family aboard his much-mended ship *The Marigold* as they travel the Scatter, a loose chain of frontier worlds where there's always a robot in trouble nobody else knows how to mend, and where every problem is solved not with force, but with listening, kindness, and stubborn good faith.

The books are written for adults who still believe in gentleness as competence. Every one is complete in itself and can be read in any order, with no on-page violence and no one left behind.
