Synopsis

Leah Tang just died on stage. Well, not literally. Not yet.

Leah's stand-up career isn't going well. But she understands the power of fiction, and when she's offered employment with the mysterious Genrenauts Foundation, she soon discovers that literally dying on stage is a hazard of the job!

Her first assignment takes her to a Western world. When a cowboy tale slips off its rails, and the outlaws start to win, it's up to Leah - and the Genrenauts team - to nudge the story back on track and prevent a catastrophe on Earth.

But the story's hero isn't interested in winning, and the safety of Earth hangs in the balance...

This is SF. Well, actually, it's Western, but since I don't want to bother making a shelf for that and it really is SF without being Westworld, I'll leave it as SF. Except. It's also a writing manual, giving us all the insides of How To Write A Story as the means to live while being inside one. Or th......more

Goodreads review by wishforagiraffe

The premise is simple, yet somehow ended up hitting me really hard- there's our regular everyday world, and there are "story worlds" that exist in another dimension in space "orbiting" Earth, impacting Earth based on which story world that's at issue.
