Opposites may attract...but can they stay together? Iris is a
refugee from an abusive youth in Iceland, further abused on the
streets of Toronto - until she sees Art as an escape. With a
scholarship, she drifts from depression to nightmare to Wiccan
rituals to the next exhibit. There's a lot she must forget to
succeed in a life she refuses to take responsibility for. Eric is
settling in at Fairmont College, starting a new life after betrayal
and heartbreak. Divorced and hitting forty, he has a lot to prove -
to his father, his colleagues, and mostly to himself. The last
thing he needs is a distraction - and there's nothing more
distracting than Iris. A Beautiful Chill is a contemporary romance
set in the duplicitous world of academic rules and artistic
license.
Set-d'Elous (a.k.a. Sebastian Talbot) finds himself paralyzed and
mute, tormented daily by the mocking spirit of the evil Empress-his
wife. His only hope is to be rescued, but all his fellow Voyagers
have been blown to other places, some back to Earth. They awaken to
a world they had left and now cannot comprehend. Tammy's son,
Chucker, awakens in the jungle, however, and in his years there
realizes what went wrong in his team's assassination attempt on the
Emperor of Sekuate: they shot the wrong guy. Feeling guilty,
Chucker tracks Set-d'Elous to Earth, where he is locked up in a
prison hospital, let out once a month for a day with Dr. Toni
Franck, his former psychiatrist now wife. With the aid of a retired
cop, Chucker must rescue Sebastian in order to counter the rise of
a violent prophet's cult back on Ghoupallesz. Only a final battle
will decide the truth-a truth that permeates the next few
centuries.... Legend tells of a comet that will cleanse the world,
and governments realize its near. Fortunately, Jinetta-d'Elous
(a.k.a. Gina Parton, Interdimensional Voyager), a struggling mother
of two, comes forward to offer assistance. Leading the aerospace
commission, she tries to drive forward Ghoupallean technology from
airships to interstellar spacecraft in the time remaining. However,
success has its price and as the clock counts down, Gina must
rescue her daughter from the evil Overlord and secure seats aboard
the last spacecraft departing before the comet strikes. THE DREAM
LAND trilogy concludes in Book III with an epic crash of time lines
and an unforgiving planetoid coming to test even the heartiest of
Interdimensional Voyagers
SAVE THE ONE OR THE MANY? OR BOTH...IF YOU ARE AN INTERDIMENSIONAL
VOYAGER After his adventures in Book I, Sebastian Talbot (a.k.a.
Set-d'Elous, legendary warrior and Sekuatean cavalry captain) has
exiled himself to a desolate island, content to laze away the days
writing his memoir. Until the emissary from Queen Tammy arrives
with a mission he cannot refuse. Tammy, the IRS clerk he took to
Ghoupallesz along with Michael in Book I, wants him to go fetch her
son who she left on Earth. How could she return for him? She
married the King of Aivana. That mission raises desperate questions
for Sebastian: If he can go back and forth through these
interdimensional doorways and arrive in different time periods,
perhaps he can do something to prevent the big war he fought
through, the war that destroyed his family and millions of others.
So he returns to his Ghoupalle wife Zaura. While on patrol duty, he
comes upon a young poetess he knows will become the rebel leader
who helps overthrow the monarchy and causes the wars. What would
you do? Meanwhile, back on Earth in another timeline, Sebastian
awakens from a coma and is helped in his recovery by Dr. Toni
Franck. An affair develops-just as his opportunity for escape comes
along. Later, as Sebastian/Set escorts teams of mercenaries back
and forth to conduct their history-changing business, he tries to
meet up with Toni again only to realize the police are still in
pursuit. Desperate to see her, he arranges a meeting only to have a
SWAT team show up, cornering him. Can he escape through an
interdimensional doorway this time? THE DREAM LAND trilogy
continues in Book II with parallel time lines, world domination and
world destruction, and as always the minutiae of heroic minds
playing god without a rule book
How far would you go to save the love of your life? Through a
doorway to another world? When high school sweethearts Sebastian
and Gina discover a doorway to a new world, adventure-loving Gina
falls in love with the world of Ghoupallesz and wants to stay. But
studious Sebastian fears losing touch with Earth, so he returns
alone. Nevertheless, he sneaks back time and time again for his own
strange adventures before finally giving up the habit after too
many lost loves, betrayals, and war. Years later, working night
shift at the IRS service center, Sebastian feels the cosmic pull
once more. Gina is in trouble--again. Of course he must return and
save her Perhaps this time, they can stay together. Returning
through the interdimensional doorway, Sebastian must first gather
his comrades from the war, cross the towering Zet mountains, and
free Gina from the evil Zetin warlord's castle. Unfortunately,
Sebastian finds there are more questions than answers. Is his
adventure on the other side real? Or is it just the dream of a
psychotic killer? That's what the police want to know when friends
and co-workers go missing. THE DREAM LAND is an eloquently
efficient epic of interdimensional intrigue and world domination by
high school geeks, filled with twisted humor (think double-helix),
some steampunk pathos, a patina of psychological thriller (imagine
a police procedural gone bad), passionate romance (tears will be
shed ), graphic violence (de rigueur in battles scenes with a cast
of millions), and the inevitability of quirky conundrums of time
and space. "Long Distance Voyager" is the first volume of The Dream
Land trilogy.
Alex Parris has been fascinated by the Trojan War all his life, but
when he meets the seductive Elena on a cruise to Turkey, he cannot
help but see the two of them as a modern Helen and Paris. However,
following seduction in Istanbul and their tour to the ruins of
Ilium, Alex is forced to fight his way back to his lover-if he can
find her, and if the rugged Turkish coast doesn't kill him first.
