Overview

Joanna Lyon, descendant of the legendary TwenCen musician Sean Lyon, would rather study genes than play a guitar. Resentful being overshadowed by her famous ancestor, she hopes to establish her own identity as a scientist. Standing in her way is Uncle Jack, who controls the family fortune and insists the entire family go into music. When a wormhole opens to an alternate universe where Sean is still alive, Jack seizes the opportunity to have him cloned and hires Joanna to steal the DNA. Joanna knows that Sean will be murdered and his clone exploited. To save them, she will have to come to terms with her heritage, face her immediate family in her home universe, and take on a role she never expected to play, a role that could block her from her dreams.

A novella of about 36,000 words.

About the Author

Sandra Ulbrich Almazan started reading at the age of three and only stops when absolutely required to. Although she hasn’t been writing quite that long, she did compose a very simple play in German during middle school. Her science fiction novella Move Over Ms. L. (an early version of Lyon’s Legacy) earned an Honorable Mention in the 2001 UPC Science Fiction Awards, and her short story “A Reptile at the Reunion” was published in the anthology Firestorm of Dragons. She is a founding member of BroadUniverse and a long-time member of the Online Writing Workshop for Fantasy, Science Fiction, and Horror. Her undergraduate degree is in molecular biology/English, and she has a Master of Technical and Scientific Communication degree. Her current day job is in the laboratory of an enzyme company; she’s also been a technical writer and a part-time copyeditor for a local newspaper. Some of her other accomplishments are losing on Jeopardy! and taking a stuffed orca to three continents. She lives in the Chicago area with her husband, Eugene; and son, Alex. In her rare moments of free time, she enjoys crocheting, listening to classic rock (particularly the Beatles), and watching improv comedy.
