Major General Lee Chinh started at the mirror, wondering what she had seen in him. His damaged body should have repelled her, yet she had loved him anyway. But now, Hope had been taken from him, along with the unborn child that had filled his mind with such expectation and anticipated joy. How could he ever be whole again without her? What value or future did the life hold for him now? How could someone who was so damaged ever be reclaimed? Chinh would discover the answer to these questions, half a world away, where a stranger, living in the country he had once considered his enemy, was struggling with her own loss and the mounting confrontation with forces conspiring to destroy her and her family. Confronted with the challenge to serve another, Chinh discovers that his own loss is inexplicably intertwined with that woman's story. He finds that his battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of wickedness, which desire to enslave not only him, but others he would learn to love.

Chosen to be the recipient of a great gift, Glenn Hitch receives a title pointing to the destiny all mankind was originally purposed for. Glenn’s new abilities include the same gift granted to Elisha’s servant in answer to the prophet’s prayer: the ability to see the true reality of the war he was engaged in. The struggle not with flesh and blood, as so many would readily assume, but instead with the spiritual forces that feed on and drive much of the conflict in this life. Glenn must learn to balance the demands of love and the requirements of service that flow from these new abilities. Glenn knows what many deny: there really are angels and demons, and both are involved in people’s lives and decisions. By serving others who doubt that truth, Glenn searches for the answer to the questions that haunt him the most: Why was I chosen, and what does it mean to be chosen?

Folklore and fantasy enmesh with physics and forensics in DOMAINE DELAFAIRE, the first volume of THE STEWARD series.Ellen Doyle, an introverted young woman must face the unanticipated challenge of being named heir to the stewardship of some staggering secrets, not the least of which is that the Multiverse is attainable - and she now controls access, the Grand Portal, without benefit of guidance or instructions.

Some may be far closer than she has ever imagined.And now, someone means her harm.When strange things happen to Ellen and those around her, no one can adequately explain. The authorities investigate, of course. But, where's the usual evidence that makes sense? Why is she being targeted? What's really going on?Connor Redhawk, a young detective assigned to the case becomes smitten with Ellen, running the risk of compromising the growing number of baffling cases. Is this a distrating infatuation, or a real danger - or worse, both?When her best friend, Stacy, goes missing through the portal, Ellen realizes she cannot search and rescue Stacy alone. She enlists the aid of her cousin, Mark, and the detective of whom she's grown so fond, Hawk. Trusting her instincts, and her heart, she shares the truth about her access to the Multiverse. Using the Grand Portal, they enter another realm of reality, where the laws of physics differ, sometimes in subtle ways, sometimes drastically . . . hmm, magic? The learning curve can be steep and dangerous, especially since other realms host sentient beings that strongly resemble those from our own myth and folklore, not all of whom hold humans in high regard.In fact, some realms are aware of each other and are often in opposition. Internecine strife, periodic skirmishes, political intrigue, hidden agendas, and nefarious plotting are typical. A loose confederation is held tenuously together by an elected Council, which maintains a delicate balance among the known member realms. Stacy, lost in the Realm of Shadow, experiences her own adventures in her effort to survive and find her way home. She discovers an unsual aspect about herself that seems to fully manifest in this alien yet strangely familiar realm.The search for Stacy will succeed, but at a cost. For Ellen, Hawk, Mark, and Stacy the very concept of reality will be forever altered. Who can they tell? Perhaps the better question is should they tell anyone - who would believe them? On the other hand, knowing one can explore other realms of the Multiverse is a strong enticement to holding such knowledge close. Who knows what unintended consequences might loom should the wrong elements become so aware?And so will begin a host of unimagined adventures.
