Great Ones Tymos and Kryslie know that the Genesis 1 deep space mission is vital to Earth's future, so when Ciriot pirates capture the Earth ship, they act. However, the pirates have discovered Earth's location, seeing it as a planet ripe for exploitation. At first they act covertly, infecting humans with control devices, making them unwitting traitors. When they invade in force, the Great Ones must reveal themselves so that Earth can gain vital help. As Tymos leads the defending space fighters, Kryslie works to remove the Ciriot devices from prominent humans and in doing so, becomes infected. For as long as she can, she resists the pull of the devices and hides her condition from her brother. When she is convicted of treason, and the Tymoreans repudiate her, she still strives to hold to her vow - to serve the cause of peace 'to death and beyond'.

Running away from an arranged marriage, 15 year old Princess Maeven decides to abandon her royal obligations and become a very rich thief. But was it choice or destiny? The realm is facing grave peril, for the dragon-mage, Thulor, who has protected it for generations, is dying and her magic is failing. Unless the King can enable the birth of her successor, the realm will be open to conquest. However, an evil demon, called the Serpent, has Thulor's mage egg, and a thief's skills and wits are needed to recover it. Being neither a magician nor fighter, Maeven's instinct is to run and hide from danger. And she has an equally imperative secret that she won't even tell the king. What will compel her to take up her royal duty as the one chosen by Thulor to protect the next dragon mage? Maeven - Dragon Thief is an epic adventure that spans a kingdom and beyond, and shows how power over evil can be achieved by being true to one's nature.

Three of these stories are based on real creatures I have known, but their names have been changed to protect the not so innocent. The incidents are real, the events happened, but the telling is tempered by nostalgia and the POV - that's where the fantasy comes in. Spend some moments as a mouse, a possum, a cat and a rabbit.

Wanda - Early DaysPart 1 - From Bad to Worse - If she was going to die young, like her mother, Gwen Willard was determined to die rich and she had very few years to do it. She met Hooch, who taught her some exciting and illegal skills, and she came to the attention of the police. Then her uncanny knack for predicting trouble, warned her to flee to the city and change her name. She was 15. Life wasn't easy, but her new skills came in handy. Part 2 - Choosing Crime - Wanda was free. She was never going back to jail. But she was homeless, almost penniless and Harrison Franklin had a long and vengeful memory. Jim Phillips had a long memory too, and Wanda had saved his life. Could he save her from Franklin?

Tymos and Kryslie Ward, hide their Tymorean intelligence and abilities by working for the WSRA as low ranked technicians at the Earth's first lunar base. Their anonymity is compromised when Kryslie races to push a VIP from the path of a careening shuttle. Her incredible speed draws worldwide attention and she becomes a target for the saboteur who is causing escalating system malfunctions on Lunar One. While Kryslie and her brother, Tymos, work to identify the saboteur, an even deadlier danger is approaching. An alien ship arrives at Lunar One, pursued by a powerful enemy who will stop at nothing to get what he wants. Only the two Tymorean Great Ones have the knowledge and abilities to overcome him, but to do so they must risk their sanity, and their souls.

Jai Ansuni was the first female Atapi sorcerer for thousands of years, but she dare not reveal it to her sire. When five hundred year old tribal sorcerer, Stacion Ansuni, kidnaps two children of the humanoid Kumatan, and barbarically dismembers fifteen Kumatan guards, he escalates the enmity between Atapi and Kumatan to an ominous level. Jai's womb mate, Con, who is Stacion's apprentice, try to mitigate the atrocity by helping the children to escape - but it is not enough. With the Kumatan out to destroy Stacion and his tribe, Jai risks her life and freedom, in trying to make a truce with them. Con knows he must defeat his sire, but Stacion challenges him before he is ready. Then Jai discovers that Stacion has a way to leave Korvu and to escape to the unsuspecting world called Earth. Fast paced and enthralling, Korvu: the beginning pits young against old, right against wrong in the fight to protect innocent lives.

Seventeen-year-old Jai Cassidy is a stranger to Korvu, but she inherited her mother's mission to find a way to revitalize the non-humanoid Atapi tribes. As a Human-Atapi hybrid, and a sorceress, she is vehemently disliked by both the Atapi sorcerers who lead the tribes and the humanoid rulers of Korvu. Regardless of the opposition, Jai is still determined to protect and nurture the Atapi. However, her task is complicated by the treacherous activities of a group of alien engineers, who are inciting insurrection and harsh reprisals. As an outsider, Jai can see the truth of the conflict. Using sorcery and her native human cunning, she must convince the fiercely independent sorcerers to work with their humanoid enemies and the powerful Galactic Enforcers - and then convince Korvu's rulers to stop persecuting the Atapi, and allow them to grow stronger and regain their rightful place as defenders of Korvu. Suspenseful and fast moving, Atapi Sorceress captures the essence of conflicting alien societies and the power of being true to one's nature.

The Great Ones must protect the Tymorean missionaries and keep the Earthbase from discovery and destruction, while working to prevent a deadly war and the ascension of bin Halil as a despotic world leader.

Even before the war on Tymorea, the Elders foresaw that Great Ones Tymos and Kryslie would have an imperative mission on Earth. But as the Tymoreans prepare to build an Earthbase to support them, they discover that specifications for two vital protective shields are missing.

The Tymorean Trust - When peace rules Tymorea - Peace reigns in the universe. Chosen to be the Advocates of the mystical and incorporeal Guardians of Peace, twins Tymos and Kryslie must first learn to control and use the power rising in them - or it will destroy them. On Tymorea, only the ruling Triumvirate Governors are powerful enough to guide the strong-willed alien-bred twins until they have mastered their power. But even as Tymos and Kryslie are pushed ever harder to learn skills and wisdom, alien infiltrators are secretly finalising plans to undermine and destroy the ruling Royal elite, enslave the common people, and reform the planetary terrain to suit their own needs. To achieve this, the alien Warlords have already corrupted susceptible Royals, and learnt that Tymos and Kryslie are two of three who are destined to protect the Tymorean Trust and thus thwart their plans. However, Tymos and Kryslie must leave the protected Royal Estate to begin to learn of their other gifts and to come to understand their destiny, even though this will place them in deadly peril.

The peace of the Guardian Planet, Tymorea, is in deadly peril. War there will create ripples of unrest and destruction throughout the settled universe. Tymos and Kryslie, still adolescents, have barely mastered their power and Llaimos is still less than a year old, but they are the three chosen to be Advocates of the mystical Guardians of Peace, to safeguard the Tymorean Trust. The Aeronites, already infiltrating Tymorea, will soon we ready to declare open warfare and begin reforming the planet's surface. With the Tymorean population withdrawing to protected places, Tymos and Kryslie are the only ones able to win back the loyalty of the hostile mutant tribes and deny the aliens their help. Only they can bring the wild creatures to the protected forests, accelerate the harvests and protect the wide-open growing areas. Through this, they must ensure the safety of Llaimos as he grows, and evade the warrior assassins sent to neutralise them. After the Aeronites attack, they have only an illusion of victory when a second, even deadlier enemy reveal themselves. The Ciriot, a race of pirates and torturers, used the Aeronites to get to the treasures and knowledge of the legendary Guardian Planet. The Guardian's Advocates must learn to wield the power of their whole planet, to fight them, to return peace to Tymorea, and to reverse lethal damage done to their world.
