Litany for a Broken World,
Entangled Realities Book 1
A young girl's disastrous first foray through the multiverse cleaves her from her family and abandons her in a homeless encampment, adrift in a world and a body not her own.
A doctor struggling with grief volunteers for the annual Boston homeless census and is confronted by the impossible and her deeply buried childhood trauma.
A lonely, disaffected seer rejected by those he seeks to help is drawn from his home by a desperate call across the world walls.
When the three strangers, each broken in some way, are drawn together in a conflict between those with the ability to travel the multiverse and the organization seeking to exploit them, they must risk everything that matters to heal the fractured places in themselves and throughout reality.

Praise for the novels of LJ Cohen
"Cohen has real talent with character development and
interaction, and prickly, defensive Ro is a sympathetic and
interesting heroine." --Publishers Weekly
"Get on board Derelict, and you'll take an edgy, nonstop flight
into an audacious SF future with unremitting danger as your
pilot -- and thrilling adventure your destination." --Lynn
Viehl, NYT best selling author of the Stardoc and Darkyn series
"LJ Cohen deftly weaves together realistic teenage characters, futuristic technology, and big stakes for a real page turner." --Wen Spencer, Award winning SF&F novelist, author of the Ukiah Oregon and Elfhome series
"When a rocket engine ignites, it doesn't look like much
happens. The rocket barely seems to move and then it's going.
The relentless pressure of the exhaust propels it faster and
faster until it reaches orbital velocity.
. . . the inexorable pressure of fine story telling, smooth
characters, and compelling action rocket the reader into jump
space where anything can - and probably will - happen." --Nathan
Lowell, Creator of the Golden Age of the Solar Clipper and the
Tanyth Fairport Adventures.
"If you love the kind of space story where ordinary people with flaws and fears are the heroes, and good people need to make choices in a messy and uncertain world, then DREADNOUGHT AND SHUTTLE is the kind of book you'll want to clear your evening for." -- Audrey Faye, author of The KarmaCorp Novels
". . . engaging characters and a believable universe . . . The admirably brave and übercompetent Dev shines as a stellar addition to the genre. . . " --Publishers Weekly
"Parallax is an adrenaline rush, ripping you across the galaxy at the speed of light. LJ Cohen's seemingly effortless narrative about a galaxy drowning in corruption and rebellion features a group of teens struggling to protect not only themselves but those they love. It will take hold of you at page one and never let go. This newest installment in the Halycone Space series works perfectly as a stand alone, but you'll find yourself wanting to read the previous books after you're done! -- K. B. Wagers, author of Behind the Throne, The Indranan War Book 1
