If I could only read one of your books, which would be your choice and why?

Oh wow, they are all so good... :)
If you're not into series, then okay. I do recommend Star Maps. It's a standalone project, has a cute romance between the main character and a girl not from this part of the galaxy, is situated in Rachel, Nevada--and I had to do a LOT of research for this novel--and combines action with good dialogue, a solid narrative, and some romance, but nothing graphic. It is for YA readers, after all, although older adults could read and enjoy it.
It also tackles the problem of xenophobia, something that's been running rampant in a number of countries and which, unfortunately, has never gone away and probably never will. Star Maps remains, to me, a really fine one-shot deal.
