To learn more about the author, you can visit her main Web site here or her LiveJournal account here. Personally, I would recommend any of her writing to anyone, since she writes amazing stories -- simple, yet intricately woven. :) The first book in this series is called The Aphorisms of Kherishdar which is the prequel to Admonishments. You can find more information about Aphorisms and read it online here:

Review from GoodReads:
"Although you could easily read through this chapbook in one night, it is
best read a chapter at a time since it gives you much food for thought.
I found myself reading through each chapter several times, as it
described a "sin" committed in Kherishdar society by an Ai-Naidari and
then his or her Correction by Shame. Reading through Admonishments more
slowly gave me thinking time for each word defined, the chapter's
possible meanings and lessons I could take from it, as well as time for
reflection upon finishing it. It contains within it a set of 25 stories
for 25 different characters and even though the chapters are really
short, they carry a profound meaning that stays with you. Simple, yet
intricately woven, I give it five stars for the amazing impact it leaves
with the reader! :) I would recommend Admonishments to anyone."
