I Dated the Mind’s Eye by Viola Grace

After dealing with an assaulted escort, Keska tries to offer her an option that isn’t her day job. She was the original escort when they tried to work the bugs out of the system. Her activation is to invent, and the mask design was her original idea.

Dealing with trying to entertain Jienne is one thing, but finding out that her relationship with Nelith is now official sends Keska spinning. Add that to her daughter and ex-patron coming back into town, and she is fighting to organize her mind while her fingers can’t stop turning metal into statues and small, deadly objects.
