She thought being a space janitor was chaotic. Now she’s really in for a cleanup.

Triana Moore lost her job as a maintenance technician when her boss discovered her true identity. But decluttering the galaxy isn’t just for janitors. When she visits the ringed planet Grissom with security agent Ty O’Neill for his sister’s wedding, Triana discovers just how messy life can get.

Deported before she can finish her coffee, Triana barely misses an exploding shuttle. But in true space janitor fashion, she decides to investigate. With the help of a pair of mischievous twins, a hard-drinking grandma, and her old frenemy Vanti, will Triana save the wedding?

Of course she will. But how crazy will it get along the way? Open the book and find out!

The Rings of Grissom tells the continuing story of Triana Moore, (former) Space Janitor, but can be enjoyed by new readers as well. If you want to avoid spoilers, read Triana Moore, Space Janitor first.

Surviving parenthood is hard enough—try doing it when the universe keeps hitting reset.

Triana Moore thought pregnancy would be messy—but not this messy. Between malfunctioning baby simulators, her mother’s attempts to fire her (again), and a snarky “smart” house that refuses to learn her name, life on SK2 is already chaos.

Then Monday refuses to end. Literally.

Now, Triana and O’Neill are stuck reliving the same day on repeat—while her pregnancy keeps marching forward. As her belly expands and her patience wears thin, they must re-convince her charming cousin Arun, their sharp-tongued friend Vanti, and a hopelessly romantic AI that the time loop is real before the triplets make their debut in a full-blown temporal paradox.

Cosmic chaos, domestic drama, and one very pregnant heroine who just wants a nap.
And a snack.

The chance to leave Earth for a vibrant new world is finally here.

Nearly half a million people will board the Colossus for a two-year journey across space.

But not every passenger has come for the right reasons.

Sergeant Sawyer Flint is a last-minute replacement to lead a team of savvy detectives on the Colossus. He has only days to recruit his team and get everything in order before reporting to the Colony Ship.

On the upper decks will be some of the wealthiest people from planet Earth. Some are famous, others infamous. They will live in close quarters with experts and specialists from a variety of practical fields that are needed to help build a colony from scratch. The lower decks are packed tight with people from every nation on planet Earth. Chosen by a worldwide lottery, they are desperate to escape to a new world full of opportunity and promise. And while every passenger was supposed to be vetted, some have gamed the system in their favor and have little regard for rules of any kind. They will all be under the jurisdiction of the Special Investigation Unit. Part SWAT team, part Intelligence squad, the SIU will be tasked with solving crimes on the massive spaceship where there are a million places to hide, but no escape.

Colossus is a Science Fiction Police Procedural from master storyteller Toby Neighbors. It’s a fast-paced, multi-viewpoint, adventure in a unique setting. If you like The Expanse, Harry Bosch, and Firefly, you’ll love Colossus.
