THE APOLLO
TRILOGY

 

“We choose to go to the Moon in
this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because
they are hard…”, stated former President Kennedy on September 12, 1962. These
words inspired a nation in the initial race to the Moon. Now over half a
century later these words are moving the world to action once more.

 

A terrorist attack on the National
Air & Space Museum in Washington, DC ignites a new and more deadly race to
the Moon than ever before.
Too bad the United
States has allowed its manned space program to fall apart. The space shuttles
are museum pieces and the International Space Station now belongs to the United
Nations.

 

When intelligence reports reveal
China’s plan to establish a permanent base on the Moon, former astronaut, U.S.
President Olivia Kane is faced with a challenge she must confront: Will nuclear
weapons soon be aimed at the United States from above, or will the Moon be the
site of the next great war? Find out in this suspense-filled thriller.

American Midnight

 

Tania
Peters had it all—a loving, supportive family, and a future that seemed all but
set.
 
But when her mother is killed in a
plane crash in the jungles of Ecuador, her world comes crashing down around
her.
 
As a result, she adopts a live for
today philosophy.
 
Throwing herself into
the arms of her boyfriend, Tania seeks all that society says will bring
satisfaction and meaning into her life.
 
But she soon realizes this is a lie, and begins to fall under the spell
of the Unity Party, a political movement that has swept Robert Allen into the
White House.
 
But such allegiances come
at a price: complete and unquestioned loyalty to the Party.
 
Despite all the “good” the Party does for
society, Tania’s devotion to the movement is pushed to the limit when her own
father, the Pastor of the Calvary Community Church, is arrested and jailed when
he refuses to compromise his religious beliefs.
 
Forced to decide between her past and her future, Tania rediscovers the
faith she has long since abandoned, even though such a decision could cost
everything she holds dear, including her life.

Dark Destiny

 

Lisa
Melton is a typical college student: she studies at the campus coffee spot,
stresses over tests and even goes to parties with her friends. But when she
wakes up one morning with no memory of the night before, looking like the
victim of an brutal assault, and starts seeing a giant black dog in her dorm
room—everything around her starts to spiral wildly out of control. Suddenly,
Lisa’s life isn’t so humdrum anymore as she meets a mysterious and handsome man
who seems to know more about her than she seems to even know herself. Who is
this man: is he simply a supernatural stalker or is he something more?
 
Lisa has little time to decide what to think
of him, before she is tangled up in a web of kidnappings, brutal murders, a
pack of strange giant black dogs, and an ancient family feud that takes her
overseas and within inches of her own sanity.

The Draca Wards Saga

 

In a
universe where dragons are supreme sentient beings, divination rituals and
knowledge of human magical evolution has led to the belief that eight humans
will be born with extraordinary supernatural abilities that will give them the
power to challenge dragons. Divided into two factions—the Draca Debellos:
conquerors of worlds to fuel their powerful magic, and the Draca Tueri:
protectors of the worlds and their sentient beings—they tirelessly search for
these gifted children to train and bond with to help in their eternal struggle
and attempt to end their tenuous deadlock.

 

Both
sides are aware of how dangerously powerful they are due to their understanding
and mastery of nature, magic, and science; following a rigid code of conduct.
But they are also aware that their Creator has worked into the nature of the
universe an anomaly—a balancing feature that can lead to the extinction of the
entire dragon race.

 

The key
to overcoming the balance between Draca and the key to victory lies in the
existence of these eight special humans. These humans have different
combinations of powers based on the existing types of magic—psychic talents,
spellcasting abilities, spiritual summoning, and elemental control. Beyond
their magical abilities, what makes these eight particular humans so special is
their unique ability to bond with dragons in a way that could provide both
dragon and human with powers and benefits yet unknown by either race.

 

Both
Draca factions wish for nothing more than to bond with one of these special
humans and tilt the balance of power in their favor. After centuries of searching
and waiting, these eight predestined humans have now all been born—humans with
the power to challenge the Draca and hold the fate of the world within their
hearts and minds.

 

Follow
the adventures, struggles, and development of these humans who have their
innocence shattered at a tender age while trying to learn to live under the
influence of powerful beings wishing to use them for their own ends, and
growing up in a world of tragedy and horror, betrayal and deception.

TERMINAL CARE

 

Emergency
Physician, Phil Pescoe, becomes alarmed by a dramatic increase in deaths on the
Alzheimer's Ward. The deaths coincide with the initiation of a new drug study
with an experimental and highly promising treatment for the disease to half of
the patients on the ward.

 

Mysteriously,
the hospital pushes forward with the study even though six patients have died
since the start of the trial. Pescoe teams up with Clara Wong—a brilliant
internist with a troubled past—to investigate the situation. Their inquiries
lead them unwittingly into the cutthroat world of big-business pharmaceuticals,
where they are threatened to be swept up and lost before they have the
opportunity to discover the truth behind the elaborate cover-up.

 

With the
death count mounting, Pescoe and Wong race against time to save the patients on
the ward and to stop the drug manufacturer from unleashing a dangerous new drug
on the general populace.

INTO FIRE

 

The
fifteen year old Leora had always planned her entire life around working with
her brother and father in their gemsmithing shop. She enjoyed it, she was good

Leora.

 

On a day
like any other, Leora's life was turned upside-down when two strangers visited
her and informed her family that she had the power of a Mage—abilities she had
always been raised to fear. As they seek to whisk her away and train her in her
abilities, Leora must decide whether to remain in the family business, or
explore these amazing abilities, and, a potential link to her mother.

 

Deciding
to embrace the adventure, Leora learns that there is a lot more in the world
outside her home than she thought. With new allies, challenges, experiences,
and problems she never knew even existed, Leora must accept the person she was
meant to become or lose everything that ever meant anything to her.
