Surf's up... Lt. Darrell Warren, Navy SEAL and Potawatomi medicine man, has been reassigned from the Pentagon temporarily to a command in Virginia Beach. He thinks he's there to investigate a rumor of a terrorist attack against the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel, but his commander wants him to go undercover to infiltrate the terrorists - a job that's way outside Darrell's wheelhouse. And this time -- unlike two weeks before, in Washington -- his two housemates aren't available to help. Sue, the Right Hand of Gaia, is at the beach for a much-needed weekend of relaxation - and she's met a man who might just be The One. And Tess, who has an uneasy relationship with the Morrigan, is chasing Hurricane Hubert, a storm more powerful than Katrina. Tess thinks she can report on hurricane preparations while running down the rumor about the terrorists - and deciding how she feels about Darrell. The terrorists are not who they appear to be, and the hurricane is inching closer. To thwart both disasters - as well as cope with their own issues - Darrell, Tess, and Sue will need the help of the gods.

Storm's coming... Life on Earth is much improved since the pagan gods' return. As conflict eases around the world, attention -- and money -- has turned to more humanitarian goals: improving the lives of the First Nations peoples and others who were repressed for thousands of years. But the former ruling class - the military, religious, and corporate leaders who profited under the old system -- are about to stage a last-ditch effort to bring their good times back. The gods refuse to start a new war against those men, because that would make them no better than Their opponents. Instead, They have drafted three humans to help Them. Together, Tess, Sue and Darrell must find a way past their own flaws to ensure the gods' peace will not be destroyed.

It's zero hour... Naomi has just two weeks to find a new home for Joseph's grandfather. The old Ute shaman is fighting for his life against a mysterious injection of toxin he received at the hands of the Norse Trickster god Loki. If Naomi is to defeat Loki once and for all, she must learn what it is he seeks under the old man's wickiup. She has just one week before she must mediate between the Earth's pagan gods and goddesses and the Christian God. If her efforts fail, all of humankind will suffer the consequences. And her baby is due any day. In this, the fifth and final book of the Pipe Woman Chronicles, Naomi is in a race against the clock to balance the demands of her body, her family, and her friends - and she must do it while the whole world is watching.

Ah, winter in South Dakota... Naomi's caught some kind of bug, and she hasn't seen Joseph in weeks. But she lets Shannon drag her on vacation: a road trip to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation to find Naomi's father. There, they find more than they bargained for: a dream wolf, a mysterious walled compound that might or might not belong to Loki, and a lot of snow. Shannon certainly knows how to show a friend a good time...

If anything can go wrong... Naomi's having a bad week. She's already overwhelmed by setting up her solo mediation practice and second-guessing her relationship with Joseph. An old acquaintance seems to be setting up shop down the road from their friend Charlie's ranch. And Charlie has a new pal: a filmmaker who might be the Investigator - except that he doesn't exactly believe in teamwork. Then a jaguar attacks her in downtown Denver....

Based on the Irish tale "The Fate of the Children of Lir," "SwanSong" is the story of a jealous half-Tslyddi woman who curses her four Wolleni stepchildren to 900 years as swans. But the curse goes awry and the children are only partially transformed. The childrens' journey, as they learn to cope with their changed lives, is one of hardship, tragedy, and triumph.

Denial is not just a river in Egypt... Naomi Witherspoon, back home in Denver after her "vacation" in South Dakota, has amassed a catalog of things she doesn't want to think about. Her due date is just around the corner, but she has yet to buy a single diaper - let alone look for a bigger place for her, her boyfriend Joseph, and the baby. Speaking of housing problems, Joseph's grandfather is in failing health and needs to move out of his wickiup, but the old man won't budge. Naomi and Joseph may have found a replacement for their woo-woo teammate/nemesis Jack in TV reporter Antonia Greco - but Antonia comes with her own set of problems, not least of which is that she's dating Naomi's ex-fiance, Brock. Meanwhile, Jack has escaped from the Mexican drug lord who owns him, and the thugs sent to find him aren't above roughing people up. Best of all, Naomi hasn't shared any of this with her mother, who wants to sell her house in Indiana and move to Colorado. If Naomi can negotiate this minefield, mediating an agreement between White Buffalo Calf Pipe Woman and Jehovah ought to be a piece of cake...
