A celebrated military hero back from a war that helped redeem the galaxy, Trent McGovern is silent about his suffering with PTSD - he risks being ostracized by the people of Baal, his home planet. As a deadly plague grows in intensity on Baal, and Trent's bloody visions get worse, he becomes inspired to take a vacation to The Paradise Planet, a new luxury resort where he hopes to heal. The Resort is everything that Trent hoped it would be, until the guests start to go missing. The shocking reality of what is taking place at The Resort, all in hopes of finding a cure for the plague - known as Hollyhock - is brought to light because of Trent's bravery, ingenuity, and courage. But once the secrets are revealed, how far is Trent willing to go to spread the truth? It might not just be the guests of the Paradise Planet, but also the citizens of Baal that must rely upon his fortitude and courage to heal.

Plantagenet was once a peaceful planet, with its seven independent islands governed by the principles of democracy and freedom for all. But when one dictator comes to power, the peace of the other island colonies is destroyed. Only the Isle of Mirth is marginally spared from Dictator Akko's tyranny on the Island of Etalon, but their freedom comes at a price. All the young men of Mirth have disappeared in the war, and the young girls are ordered to marry the men that remain by order of proclamation of the High Council - no matter how much older those men may be. Henceforth, Mirth is to be called the Isle of Grief. Laura Green is forced to marry the wealthiest and most ingenious of the council members, but she refuses his entreaties for love. When the young soldier Christopher comes into her life, the truth of what really happened to Mirth's young men is revealed, and a plot unfurls to reclaim the young soldiers that perhaps never perished in the War at all. Christopher and Laura work together to pull off one of the most unlikely and challenging rebellions in the history of Plantagenet, but thanks to the help of the women of Mirth - trained to be soldiers and shipbuilders - they just might overtake Akko, overthrow the council, and restore the peace and freedom that they once knew. Looming above the whole tale, with its deadly battles, deceit, redemption, love lost and love found, there is an entire untapped galaxy that only Laura is smart enough to explore with her mind, and her heart.

In 1983, five people were brutally killed while on a camping trip in Washington's remote Okanogan County. Thirty-two years later, one reporter who covered the incident, needs to record the truth about what happened on that horrible August morning. The incident was originally blamed on an unfortunate encounter with a diseased bear, but that is not at all what the sole survivor described. At ninety-six years old, Stephen Patterson is afraid of dying without revealing the truth, however controversial--a truth that he believed would have devastated the economically fragile state of the US's third largest and thinly populated county. Decide for yourself who or what was responsible--if you don't believe in Bigfoot, be prepared to.
