Earth is Ours
(Science Fiction/Fantasy)

Earth is Ours, a fresh and uniquely original story line, bridges many genres. A symbiotic relationship develops between a self-aware female computer and an American Indian man dying of old age.  A world stripped of technology by aliens forces this relationship dictated by mutual needs for survival.  The main characters begin the fight of their lives, but before they can fight the fierce aliens, Levi and Amy must fight for control of who they will be jointly. What begins as conflict of minds develops into tolerance, then cooperation and finally love. This love of total oneness creates a unity of incredible power and strength that provides the means to fight the aliens. Female brains and male brawn unite to battle against incredible odds for the survival of the human race.  The conflict of minds, action, adventure and suspense all interlace into a compelling and fast-paced adventure.

The characters are three dimensional with real emotions, not always perfect, but always interacting. The story, presented from differing viewpoints, allows the two main characters to depict some of the same events from both a male and female perspective.  As they interface, the events are often seen from conflicting emotions and motivations, sometimes cynical and often humorous.  This internal intercourse reveals the eternal struggle of male versus female, while combating monstrous aliens.   

As expected, this fast-paced, action story has a strong appeal to men; while the romance aspect compliments the story, expanding the appeal for women. Additionally, one of the main characters, Amy, a particularly brilliant and forceful female, demands attention from both sexes. Her physical and masculine male counterpart represents everything Amy is not.  Both characters and sexes are presented in a positive, although conflicting, way at times. The characters and story are captivating, and their saga continues in its sequel, “Target Earth.”

Target Earth is the continuing saga and greatly anticipated sequel of the award winning book, Earth is Ours, “Best” Fantasy/SciFi 2005 from the prestigious San Diego Book Awards Association.  The beloved  characters developed in the original story evolve and begin an exciting new adventure as they defy monstrous, invading aliens dedicated to the total destruction of the Human Race.  

Amy is a self-aware female computer whose only connection to the outside world is through a telepathic link.  Levi was a dying elderly Indian man who is rejuvenated through this telepathic connection with Amy.  It is a story of this forced symbiotic relationship dictated by mutual needs for their survival in a world stripped of technology.   Although they have separate and individual minds, they must co-exist in Levi’s augmented body, sharing differing emotions and motivations, while simultaneously battling the enemy. Female brains and male brawn must unite as one in love and power to create a new entity to lead the fight against the aliens.  

They are aided in this war by human armies and rescued alien slaves, but they are still vastly outnumbered in this conflict.  These affable aliens will touch your heart with their loyalty and action, while the enemy will rouse your rage and fear.  This is truly a Good versus Evil tale, but does good always win? The male versus female conflict of minds, emotions and motivations remain a large portion of the story as it unfolds from both viewpoints.  The struggle continues against formidable invaders led by an awe inspiring supreme leader.  In this fast paced and compelling adventure, battles wage across the California and Arizona deserts.  These unique characters, and the riveting story, are strong and their saga continues into the third book of this series Earth’s Warriors.

Earth's Dragons is the continuing saga and greatly anticipated second sequel of the award winning book, Earth is Ours, "Best" Fantasy/SciFi 2005 from the prestigious San Diego Book Awards Association. The first sequel, Target Earth, placed Finalist in the same awards for 2006.

The beloved characters developed in the original story evolve and begin an exciting new adventure in the sequel. In Earth's Dragons the characters evolve yet again and embark on a new adventure and finale of the series as they continue to defy monstrous, invading aliens dedicated to the total destruction of the human race. The male versus female conflict of minds, emotions and motivations remain a large portion of the story as it unfolds from both viewpoints. The struggle continues against formidable invaders led by an awe inspiring supreme leader. In this fast paced and compelling adventure, battles wage across the California and Arizona deserts.
