Ruth Miller, now a cabinet member's deputy in the Department of Agriculture, knows she doesn't think like other women. The gene-altering procedure she underwent as a child gave her savant-like ability in physics and math, but only a vague understanding of how to function in the real world. When the President fires her boss, the stanch and upright, Daniel Underhill, he learns his only friend in the world is Ruth. He finally admits how much he's attracted to her, and for one night, Ruth's world seems perfect. But their love affair is off to a rocky start. Can two people from the opposite ends of a segregated society form a lasting relationship? And can either of them, knowing the terrible secret the administration is hiding, ignore the coming catastrophe, and watch their families suffer and die as the synthetic food industry implodes?

Ruth Miller has found her true love. Sure, Dan Underhill is a straight-laced multimillionaire who was brought up in the rarefied air of the privileged elite of America's two-tier society. But Ruth is determined to make their relationship work, even though she's a libertine from society's forgotten dark underbelly. To complicate their tenuous relationship, their problems increase after the inept, egotistical, President takes a sexual interest in Ruth and makes her an offer he thinks she can't refuse. Then, the drug mafia, having a score to settle with her lover, kidnaps him, while the security guards she had fired, break into her home seeking revenge.

They couldn't bring themselves to kill the evil witch. Now they must pay the price. In this second book, Matthew, Sachi and the ex-slaves have followed Taro's boatbuilder family into the snake-infested badlands with the dream of building a city where everyone is free. But winter approaches, and as the colonists gather their meager harvest, the witch they once defeated casts a spell to recapture the male slaves and leave their wives and children to die. The remaining colonist's only hope is Sachi and her undeveloped fallen-angel powers. Sachi can offer only one small chance, and it involves traveling to a post-apocalyptic earth with only five days to find a way to return to the land under the jeweled moon before the women and children start dying. And even if they succeed, the coming winter and the lack of food could make their efforts in vain. Ex-high-school teacher Matthew Sharpe has mostly come to believe this strange magical land is real. Besides, building a city from scratch doesn't allow time for considering the impossibilities of magic. But his doubt returns after he ends up in a nightmare version of the Earth he left behind. Especially when he and Taro, once again armed only with a pistol and a sword, face off against an army bent on their destruction. Unfortunately, this time their opponents use modern weapons.

Prince Haruko only wants to be left alone to build steam engines and mechanical devices, but his sister, the witch Tanoshi, has a problem. After turning people into frogs and single-handedly defeating an army, everyone fears and avoids her. But, as she approaches marriageable age, Haruko realizes she needs a husband, or face death from the Moon Goddess' curse. Their lives become even more complicated after Haruko is ordered to the capitol to marry a noble's daughter who thinks anything mechanical is stupid. There is one answer, but can kids raised in a steampunk world survive in modern-day America? And can Tanoshi live without the power she'd known all her life?

The intoxicating smell of a cube of Walnut pipe tobacco. The watery taste of the cream on the offered sweet. The 'Hello, little boy' as the man steps out of a copse of trees.These, the boy's addiction to the smell of gas, deep poverty, alienation and the 11+ exam build the terrain that explodes into a quarter of a century of political violence.This is life seen through the inquisitive eye of a young boy, his older seven sisters and his band of brothers - who are drawn ever closer by the brutal murder of one of their number.His mother, the epicentre of his childhood, is hostage to the vagaries of biology and the diktats of Catholic Ireland - diktats that are thrown into hilarious disarray with the arrival of American sailors, their Dixie-cup hats and Chesterfield cigarettes.Told with striking simplicity, with sensory information swooping and tearing at our hearts, A Derry Tale - In the beginning binds together credibly with jumps in time. Moments of great comedy, dry humour, and perceptive description pervade this, the first in a trilogy.

The editors of this volume have attempted to furnish a cluster from the field of thought and feeling cultivated under the broad sheen of our cherished institutions, that shall be agreeable to the taste of the fraternity.

The witch, Tanoshi, just wants to take her brother, his wife and her Earth-born husband home. But the once-beautiful fallen-angel Lucifer, his face scared by Tanoshi's father, seeks revenge. The path from Earth to the land of the Jeweled Moon requires magically traveling through the Nowhere place between worlds. Lucifer seizes his chance. He makes his plans, his back-up plans, and plots the greatest revenge of all. He'll lure the four of them onto an unpleasant, dystopian world where, once trapped, they can never leave. Tanoshi, Haruko, Airi and Kenji now must battle overwhelming odds. Their only weapon against absolute evil is their trust in one another.

Ruth Miller, now a front-office clerical in the Department of Agriculture, knows she doesn't think like other women. The gene-altering procedure, that made her brilliant in science, left her almost unable to cope with other people. Fortunately, she'd been adopted by Gracie and Odel and their patient training has given her what she considers the best life someone from the bottom end of a two-class society could expect. Just as everything seems to come together, capitol political intrigues, and the corruption of a disintegrating society change everything.

The demon Lucifer has severed Tanoshi's connection to her world. Now, as she has no way to find her home planet among the millions in the universe, the devil assumes he's given her, Haruko, Airi and Kenji, a death sentence. Their sometimes useful, but often unreliable, friendly angel tells her there's a world which might give them the secret of getting home. He can't give them details, but he believes it's dangerous. Their survival will be chancy. Facing a bleak future in the Nowhere Place, the four travelers decide, danger or not, one chance is better than no chance. Hoping for the best, the small group enters a world on the edge of collapse: The world of the Dragons.

Ruth Miller, a lowly government clerical, has a savant-like ability to understand physics and math, but no social skills. Unexpectedly, she's transferred to the front office of a Cabinet Secretary only to discover she's become a pawn in a partisan-politics intrigue. Now her job, reputation, and life are threatened by people she's never met and can't understand. Ruth's battle to survive draws her into a high-stakes game that involves stopping a dim-witted president from triggering an all-out war with China, the world's foremost superpower.

A fallen angel decides her enslaved daughter, Sachi, needs a husband who can appreciate her good qualities and overlook her tiny-little flaw. Traveling to Earth, the angel discovers a perfect specimen on a sinking trawler and hopes she can get away with a little karmic interference. Matthew Sharpe, an American descendent of the rebellious Jamaican Maroons, has major issues with waking up in a slave-owning culture on another world. However, he finds the cute slave girl, who's assigned to nurse him back to heath, the most desirable female he's ever encountered. But the city is at war with a monster army, and one of the ruling witches knows of Sachi's true heritage. Fearful the girl might awaken to her power, she convinces her sisters that Matthew is an enemy half-breed sent to penetrate their defenses. Between avoiding death by the suspicious witches, fighting the attacking monsters, and dealing with a lover who's finally had enough of being a slave, Matthew learns some love affairs are more complicated than others.

As the synfood system collapses, America and the world, face famine on a scale never before encountered. Dan, along with his lover and deputy, Ruth, attempt to put the full resources of the Department of Agriculture behind their plan to prevent the coming debacle. But, after not getting any cooperation from the corrupt President or any of the 'only-here-for-the-money' politicians, they realize they alone are the overcrowded world's last hope. But can Ruth, a socially-inept physicist with only a minimal understanding of biology, find a way out of the morass? And if the military learns of her dangerous, more-powerful-than-a-hydrogen-bomb discovery, will they confiscate it and have her killed?
