In the tradition of Ursula Le Guin comes a startling & thought-provoking novel of gender, society -- & survival. A cent. ago a small group of humans was marooned on a distant planet. Now their descendants struggle with rising infertility, mortality & mutation, for which no cause -- or cure -- can be found. Then comes a startling revelation: The preserved corpse of a member of the planet's long-extinct native race bears deformities nearly identical to those of Anais, the settlement's doctor. Anais must discover the link between the mysteries of the planet's past & the plight of the present-day humans, before she is exiled forever -- thwarting her society's last chance for survival. Intelligent & compassionate, this novel raises a host of interesting questions.

Book Description
Dear Reader, Life is great for me. I have my chicory coffee, my warm beignets, and my best friend on the cell phone. Once the sun goes down, I am the baddest thing prowling the night: I command the elements, and I know no fear. For centuries, I've protected the innocent and watched over the mankind, making sure they are safe in a world where nothing is ever certain. All I want in return is a hot babe in a red dress, who wants nothing more from me then one night. Instead, I get a runaway Mardi Gras float that tries to turn me into roadkill and a beautiful woman who saves my life but can't remember where she put my pants. Flamboyant and extravagant, Sunshine Runningwolf should be the perfect woman for me. She wants nothing past tonight, no ties, no long-term commitments. But every time I look at her, I start yearning for dreams that I buried centuries ago. With her unconventional ways and ability to baffle me, Sunshine is the one person I find myself needing. But for me to love her would mean her death. I am cursed never to know peace or happiness-not so long as my enemy waits in the night to destroy us both. --Talon of the Morrigantes

Book Description
TO FEEL THIS PLEASURE, FIRST YOU MUST SURVIVE THE DEEP. DARK WATERS By day, Rachel Matre runs a hip diner in downtown Madison, Wisconsin. By night, she slips naked into the waters of a lake whose spirits speak to her, caress her, and take her to a place of indescribable pleasure. But now the machinations of a greedy developer have summoned another force from the depths—a strange, beautiful man with a dark agenda. Soon there is a murder by the lake. During the hunt for the killer, Rachel is pulled into a torturous limbo where all she can feel is her raging erotic lust—and never a release. A crime, an ancient curse, and a confluence of thoroughly modern relationships have plunged Rachel into the ultimate mystery: one whose solution will emerge only out of pain, desire, and a passion for the most forbidden truth of all.

Book Description
This book is a collection of short stories of various genres that I think will appeal to readers from many age groups. The stories are very short, easily readable, but written with a discriptive style that brings the reader along on each of these little journeys into my imagination.
