Book Description
Before they were Amazonian queens, they were simply mothers concerned about their children at the hands of man. So long ago, two children went missing: one a young teen witch and one a young fairy child. Missing and unaccounted for, unbeknownst to each, witches and fairies alike, it would begin a reconciliation, which was thousands of years delayed. Both witches and fairies, worried with grief, began a search for their youth, only to be met with the truth of their demise at the hands of the savage man. Neither people could have foreseen the unification of their world, nor could they have predicted that they would become the most powerful people of all the dimensions. And that they would call their most beautiful land and dimension Amazon, named after the place in another dimension, where the last talisman of the Great Elders Wall was found at the beginning of the age of the elders long ago. No one could have foreseen the following events that led up to the missing of the twelfth queen. And unless they find her, all the accomplishments theyve achieve since the brutality of the missing girls so long ago will be lost. While the search is on to find the twelfth queen and to find out what happened to her, time is running out as man has grown a thousand fold and is even more brutal, as they once were long ago. The highest of the all witches and fairies alike was the twelfth queen, and without her guidance, they are faltered, unsure, and on the verge of internal war. As they close their prayers with We are the time, and we are one! there are those around the queens table that worry silently if the twelfth queen is even still alive. And if she is not, their steadfast fears just may become reality. A war among the witches and fairies with man gravely on their very doorstep, threatening to destroy them both, would cripple witches and fairies alike. Separately, they believe man can defeat them, each blaming the other for lack of focus and an overall weaker spirit. And if this worried insecure reasoning grows among them, it could cost them everything. So her most cherished and dearest of friends, Dartilia searches and searches for her anywhere and everywhere, all in hopes of finding her most cherished and dearest of friends, Fayla. As she searches, she remembered all Fayla had taught her and how she came to be known as Fayla, gentle and cruel, however still loved by most, but clearly and urgently missed by all.

Book Description
Told in the voice of a lone holdout standing guard on an unnamed frontier, Redoubt addresses questions of conception and birth, gender, war and the slouch toward Apocalypse. Structured like a series of jazz riffs, its thematic underpinnings are drawn in part from the dictionary definitions that introduce each section--back cover.

Book Description
References of Amazons date back to the time of Plato where he mentions trade between the Amazons and the island nation of Atlantis. In the "Iliad," a reference is made as to a battle that occurred between the Amazons, an ally of Troy and a Greek contingent led by the Greek hero, Achilles. The battle ended with the death of the Amazon queen, and therein lies the beginning of my tale. The novel, Amazon Nights, explores the question of, can a civilization of women (or men for that matter) exist without having some interaction with the other sex? The answer to that question rest with the plight of the new queen to produce a female heir to the throne. For that, she needs the assistance of a man, one that can woo her, seduce her, excite her, and eventually impregnate her. The chosen male for this union has other ideas. He wants more-a relationship that is an unconditional commitment to love. And while these two people work out their differences, a plot to overthrow the queen unfolds and a new king sets off to claim the Amazon world. Monitoring the events as they unfold is a champion for both the Amazon queen and her lover-the great goddess Hera. She, too, is seeking an unconditional commitment to love and will do all within her power to aid the lovestruck pair. The final chapter culminates in a battle said to be too insignificant to be chronicled in the history books, but be forewarned there can be only one winner as revealed when the day blends into Amazon nights.
