The Golden Terrace Colony Series follows two teens–Anya Cartier and Borsk King. Their ship (Hope) is approaching the planet it has been aiming for since it left Earth a millenium ago.

Anya, an artist, wants to be part of the Golden Terrace Colony team, and help set up the new world.

Borsk, a hacker, would rather stay on Hope, and he’ll do almost anything to help his family thrive.

Anya’s father, Thomas Cartier is making life difficult for both of them.

The Cover for Hope Gardens--a Serial set in the Golden Terrace Colony Universe. A flowering branch in the shape of human lungs floats on a starry background. This sits atop a a blue frame with the caption, "Get it chapter by chapter in the newsletter."
Hope Gardens deals with a couple of generations before the time of Leaving Hope, StarRacer, and Shindashir.

Hope is still a couple of generations away from Shindashir, but the ship is already nearly worn out. Sam’s family lives in one of most delapidated sections, and he knows they’ll likely have to move to an even more crowded area soon. With his academic skills, Sam’s his family’s best hope for changing their fortunes.

He knows all that, and still Sam is strangely attracted to two things that could upset his chances of landing a scholarship and good job that will pull his family out of poverty—the greenhouses (a dead-end work detail if anybody ever saw one), and the captain’s daughter (a thoughtlessly rich beauty who couldn’t possibly bring him anything but trouble).

Sam must do right by his family, but he also can’t help his greenhouse fascination—or his growing interest in Eleanor.
