Scientist Mara Cadell created the Twin-Bred -- pairs of fraternal twins, one human and one Tofa -- to bridge the profound and dangerous gap between the human colonists on Tofarn and the indigenous Tofa. Unexpectedly, it is the Tofa host mothers who now claim the capacity to bring peace between the two. The Twin-Bred themselves have been forced to abandon their mission and their planet, in the hope of finding a less hostile home. Only one pair remain behind, seeking to build new and separate lives with their own kind. But Mara and the Twin-Bred should know by now that plans provide little protection. New challenges are in store for all the Twin-Bred, and for those whose lives they touch. "Reach is a worthy sequel to Twin-Bred. . . .The story line of Twin-Bred is continued and raised in level of depth and complexity. At the same time, a new and exciting story line is added. . . . I trust and hope we are seeing the beginning of one of the outstanding series of Sci-Fi . . . . Highly recommended." -- author R. Lee Holz "

New technology, new choices . . . but who gets to choose? Conjoined twins Gordon and Johnny have never let their condition keep them from living full and fulfilling lives. Gordon looks forward to many years of closeness and cooperation. Johnny, however, faces their future with increasing restlessness, even dread. When the boys are in their teens, the new technologies of accelerated human cloning and brain transplants are combined into a single medical procedure. Someone whose body has suffered such extensive damage as to make normal life impossible may -- with court approval -- be cloned and then given a brain transplant into the clone body. With Gordon's unwitting assistance, Johnny realizes that this procedure provides the chance he had never dared to hope for -- the chance to live in a "normal," separate body. But Gordon considers their conjoined life a blessing, rather than a curse. He has no intention of accepting separation -- not without a fight . . . . Division, like Wyle's earlier novels, uses original settings and situations to explore universal themes: the complexity and intensity of family relationships, the nature of individual identity, and the far-reaching effects of the choices we make. "In her unique combination of surreal reality with a twist of scientific fantasy, Wyle thrusts her themes of family relationships, morality and choice into another twister of reading fascination. . . . Alluring, different, highly creative, Wyle demands our attention - her pages rock the cradle of what humanity means to each of us. . . . An author to watch." -- The Review Broads " The author took the time to weave a delicate and sensitive story into a great novel. . . . M]uch more than science fiction . . . I would recommend this book to adults and teens alike." -- KeepingDreams Book Reviews "The book is well written and very well thought out . . . It will appeal to young and old readers alike. Science fiction, fantasy, young adult, future or realistic; whatever you want to call it, Division by Karen Wyle is good reading for all." -- Readers Favorite "Division is one of the best books I read in 2013. . . . E]xplore s] what it's like living in the skin of an unusual, unexpected person. . . . I heartily recommend this book." -- Magic and Mayhem

Death is what you make it. . . . Eleanor never wanted to leave the daughter she loved so much. The overpowering urge to wander -- to search, without knowing what she sought -- drove her away. She left little Cassidy in her family's loving care. But Cassidy and the others died in an accident before Eleanor could find her way home. Now, they are all reunited, in an afterlife where nothing is truly lost: places once loved may be revisited, memories relived and even shared. Surely this is a place where they can understand and heal. And yet, the restlessness that shaped Eleanor's life still haunts her in death. Somehow, she must solve the mystery of her life -- or none of them will be at peace.
