Here are the works I've seen and loved: Tea with the Black Dragon was the work that made her name in the field.
. . .
There is some quite overt magic going on here, but as with all her work, the human story takes center stage, not the flash.

. . .
The dialogue and the mechanics of her writing are clear, unobtrusive, and as real as a mountain brook.
. . .
I think her latest trilogy, the only one commonly in print at this writing, is her best work yet.
. . .
Technically, they are fantasy, but the fantastic elements are subtle when they show at all.

No offense to the real, not just "genetic" Sami, who have had a lot to endure over the years.

She manages to touch on such diverse subjects as Zen Buddhism, the nature of humanity and the intricacies of computer programming security while laying out the plot elements with a sure hand.

MacAvoy in quite a while, and although it is science fiction/fantasy, there is a romance subplot that becomes more rewarding as the novel proceeds, and I think that romance readers in general will be interested in MacAvoy's work for its distinctive and likable characters.

The Third Eagle by R. A. MacAvoy :: Reader Store

I assume that she calls herself Bertie MacAvoy in real life, as that is the appellation I've seen name-dropped around the Internet.
. . .
Her surname is pronounced with the accent on the first syllable: MACavoy.
. . .
There, Wanbli learned the true purpose of his life--a mission so vital that it required risking the lives of everyone on the ship and the future of his home world.
. . .
His odyssey led him to one ship, then another, and to another still.
. . .
That being said, I'm not really that into Sci-Fi anymore, although there was an interesting ethical dilemma about whether to reanimate a person in suspended animation.
