Summary

In the heart of Dallas where the Trinity River's bank cradles warmth from morning fires, a tale unfurls - modest as a tale but grand as the hopes within. Amidst the grit of street living, an unexpected adventure beckons—a journey from hardship to the unfamiliar embrace of four solid walls and the companionship that sustains through trials. This is the story of unlikely friendships fostered over meals shared under open skies, of lives intersecting in pursuit of survival, work, education, love, and the pursuit of a sanctuary to call home. It is a story of transformation, not just of spaces with fresh paint and the determination of those willing to wield the brush, but of hearts and minds opened to possibilities once veiled by circumstance. Here within these pages lies an odyssey; an exploration of human resilience, the power of community and the silent orchestrations of the divine presenting gifts of second chances.
In this heartwarming tapestry of life, an individual's journey through the trials of work and higher education blooms into a testament of resilience and fellowship. Woven within are threads of compassion, where unlikely allies emerge to offer a lifeline in times of struggle, affirming the profound power of human connection. As we follow the protagonist’s path, graced by divine intervention and fortuitous encounters, we witness a celebration of spirit and help. This narrative is an ode to those who reach out a hand in support and to the beauty of embracing our shared humanity, as it underscores the transformative spirit of faith, kinship, and the enduring pursuit of knowledge.

    After Fort Dodge, wagon master Bruce Cowan had hoped the journey to Wagon Mound would get easier. That lasted but a few days. 
 
 
 
It horrified the settlers when they came across the burning remains of a smaller wagon train. Not one survivor. Bandits attacked this time, not Indians. 
 
 
 
Every day brings a fresh crisis. Trent and Pat, the McLeod brothers, with their gun fighting skills, provide Bruce and the wagon train protection and much needed guidance. Sometime even that isn't enough when they face mother nature at her most destructive. 
 
 
 
The savage Comanches are on the warpath. The Arapahos are also on a killing spree since the massacre of Sand Creek. Trent and Pat do their best to avoid these threats. When attacked, many times by surprise, there are deadly consequences. 
 
 
 
Throughout it all, Trent tries his best to get closer to Becky Cowan. Just when he thinks things are going well, something else comes up to drive a wedge between them again. 
 
 
 
The settlers must remain on guard at all times as obstacles confront them. Will the Cowans reach Wagon Mound or perish in the desert as others have before them? Should they continue their perilous journey west or leave the trail and set up their homestead?

    I wanted a husband…and got two orc mates instead.  
When my groom-to-be leaves me standing alone at the altar, I only want to escape. So I pack my bags and sneak out of my parents’ house in the middle of the night. But instead of going to a larger human city, I turn north, toward the orc lands. 
I’ve heard enough about orcs to know they treat women well, and I want a husband of my own - one who won’t run away but would cherish and love me instead. 
But now two orc blacksmiths want to claim me, saying I’m their fated mate.  
Morg is young and handsome, a charming man whose every touch ignites a fire inside me. But Torren, an older orc with more experience, gives me everything I need, making me feel safe and loved from the very first day. 
I should be happy to have either one of them - but what if picking only one will ruin all our chances of happiness?  
Her Orc Blacksmiths is a full-length spicy orc fantasy romance in which the heroine doesn’t need to choose between her two heroes, and the heroes develop a loving relationship of their own. It takes place in the world of the Bellhaven Clan and has a full happy ending. You’ll enjoy this story if you like cozy romance vibes and size difference issues (times two).

    They were the anomalies, the Talents that didn't check all the boxes or fit within neat, understood, traditional guidelines. Gathered together under a Premier Master at the Academy on Le'anka, the nine Talents were called Infrenx, for the magical bird of legend, of healing and power … and sometimes destruction. 
  
When they graduated, they scattered through the Alliance, using their Talents to serve and protect. 
  
Their greatest challenge came when some members of Infrenx class returned to Le'anka for what they thought would be a time of rest and fun and reunion. An enemy had struck, managing to slide past the security precautions of the Academy, the headquarters and birthplace of the Alliance. As the members of Infrenx class discovered, even the mighty bird of legend had a nemesis, and it would take all their combined strength and training and the ultimate sacrifice to defend their home.

The final stage of his training is a shakedown cruise on an old minesweeper, barely able to achieve FTL entry and exit.
Midway through their cruise, the minesweeper collides with an ancient alien wreck, ripping the sides off the starship. Jack’s team of bots help seal the combined wreck to prevent air loss. Ghost, a nanolife form from the alien wreck, provides assistance.
Jack and his girlfriend, Sofia, are the only survivors, and air, food, and supplies are critical.
The countdown of days to survive is ticking.
No wonder the Royal Family are angry.
And there’s still a price on Jack’s head.
