In "Dangerous
Reflections," psychologist Martie Harris makes a deathbed promise to
Gran that she will try to save "Doctor Uncle's" life, no matter what.
The problem is, the mysterious man who was her grandmother's childhood
protector died nearly a hundred years ago. The strange request isn't
so unusual, considering that Martie and her grandmother have shared
many odd psychic experiences over the years, such as glimpses into the
future and common dreams -- experiences both would have rather
forgotten. Yet after Gran's death, Martie knows she has no choice but
to draw upon her uncanny gifts if she is to fulfill her commitment.
After a vision leads
her to a carved box containing a magic wand, Martie pieces together
more clues. She discovers she can travel through mirrors into the past
and realizes she might be able to honor her grandmother's last
request. She journeys to Edwardian London intent on saving the life of
the man with the unusual double title.
Doctor Uncle turns out
to be a powerful sorcerer, and tells Martie she is descended from an
ancient bloodline of wizards. He joins her in solving the mystery of
her great grandmother's occult murder and unraveling a rival wizard's
plot to resurrect the dead. As the psychic connection between her and
the man she has promised to save grows stronger, Martie and Doctor
Uncle are united in the ancient alchemical rite of coniunctio. Through
the power of their love, an angelic host aids them in their fight
against evil.
"Dangerous Reflections"
runs approximately 100,000 words and is the first in a planned
three-book series. With each subsequent book, Martie learns about her
magical heritage while gaining greater control over her powers, aiding
her in the fight against the forces of darkness.
A magic ring carries actress
Anise Wynford through a vortex of time from 2006 to fifteenth
century England, where she falls in love with King Richard III --
the last Plantagenet king.
With a diary containing clues to her
own mysterious past, once belonging to the father she barely knew,
and a copy of Shakespeare's play, "Richard III," Anise must learn to
survive in a medieval world devoid of modern conveniences. While
posing as the Lady Wynford, a guest in the royal household, she
tries to uncover the secret of the ring and a way back to her own
time. Instead, she finds herself drawn into the political intrigue
surrounding the struggle between the Lancastrian and the Yorkist
dynasties over England's crown.
As Anise and Richard fall in love,
the Welsh wizard Owain Glendower conspires with the King's enemies
to cast Anise as a traitor, at the same time conjuring ancient magic
to thwart the King and put the Lancastrian claimant, Welshman Henry
Tudor, on England's throne.
As the moment of the Richard's death
approaches in the final battle of the Wars of the Roses, Anise must
find a way to defeat the political and supernatural forces seeking
to destroy him, and rewrite the events of history so she can be with
the man she loves.
