!! Tropes in her works:
* TheAllConcealingI: In ''The Kindly Ones'', the chapters from Trey Maturin's point of view are the only ones written in first person. It's never revealed whether Trey is male or female.
* BigBeautifulWoman: In ''Point of Hopes'', merchant Iniz Allyns is described as being "as large as any two women, and four times as lovely."
* BizarreAlienSexes: In ''Shadow Man'', humans in the future have seen a dramatic rise in intersex conditions (due to drugs necessary for space travel) leading to five recognized sexes: male, mem, herm, fem, female (clearly influenced by an article by Anne Fausto-Sterling [[http://www.fd.unl.pt/docentes_docs/ma/TPB_MA_5937.pdf]]) and nine sexual orientations.
* {{Hermaphrodite}}: ''Shadow Man'' involved humanity becoming a five-sexed race as a side-effect of adaptation to faster-than-light space travel. Of course, not everyone accepted it.
* {{Magitek}}: The Silence Leigh trilogy has ''starships'' powered by alchemy and guided by astrology.
* MentalWorld: The Silence Leigh trilogy (aka ''Roads of Heaven'') has one character doing telepathic therapeutic work inside another's mind.
