Brothers of the Fire Star
This is a novel of war and adventure; courage and tragedy. When the Japanese invade the island of Guam in December 1941, two boys, Joseph and Napu, escape by sailing away at night in a small boat.

Can they learn to trust each other? Their desperate survival depends on it. Read more...

The Face in Amber
Enjoy this complex adventure following the coming-of-age of a defiant young woman as she discovers and learns to trust the strengths within herself.

When Sonoria learns that she and the people of the Stratus Valley are mere slaves to distant masters, she rebels. Joining a band of young barbarians, she escapes by riding out of the Valley on her wild stallion Spiritus. But her denial of her eternal love for the dark and dangerous Dag-gar threatens to tear apart the very fabric of Time. Read more...
