So here is some of the lovely jubbly stuff I've received over the past week and a bit...
And here is a bit more in depth info...
Earth Girl by Janet Edwards
Meet me, Jarra. Earth Girl.
It's the year 2788, and the universe is divided into two different kinds of people: the Norms, who can portal between other planets, and people like me, the one in a thousand who are born with an immune system which doesn't allow us to leave planet Earth.
Norms come back to Earth for one reason: the study human history. But only if they don't have to interact with us 'Neanderthals' along the way. Well, I've got a plan to change all that.
Call me whatever you like, I'm every bit as good as they are.
And I'm going to prove it to them.
