The Chikondra Trilogy

Guardian Redeemed

The project to gain Earth’s ratification into the Dil-Terra Interplanetary Alliance has stalled. Doubts assail renowned Chikondran diplomat, Minister Warnach Sirinoya, when he meets Sandra Warner, the young Terran administrative specialist assigned to help steer the massive project back on course. Never could he have imagined their first rocky encounter would alter the direction of his life, ushering him from private turmoil and personal disgrace. Neither could he have dreamed that she would inexplicably draw him into legendary mysteries on his own world.

Sandra Warner strives to prove herself while refusing to allow her family’s disapproval or tragic events to derail her goal of building a diplomatic career. Intelligent, driven, and sensitive, she surprisingly finds empathy with the difficult Minister Sirinoya. Two people from different planets and dramatically diverse backgrounds balance unexpected turns in their relationship with cultural differences, demanding careers, lofty dreams, and personal sorrows, all woven into a fascinating tapestry of fear and conflict, triumph and love.

[The author’s] exceptional talent for developing characters and scenes in the story, along with a very keen sense for just the right amount of detail, helped to create very vivid images in my mind.

The characters are meticulously developed…

Whispers From Prophecy

The Dil-Terra Interplanetary Alliance faces increasing interference into its affairs from the elusive Zeterons. Many officials in the galactic union refuse to accept the idea of Zeteron infiltration despite enemy plots and tactics that grow both more obvious and more menacing. While contending with doubters inside the organization’s own ranks, Alliance leadership must rely more heavily than ever on its dedicated diplomatic corps to prevent widespread destabilization and maintain tenuous peace.

Senior Field Minister Warnach Sirinoya undertakes one critical assignment after another. Mission perils assume new and daunting risks. A succession of disastrous incidents forces Warnach to reassess his lifelong dedication to an auspicious career. Can he possibly find the necessary inner fortitude to continue the vocation now threatening his newfound personal peace?

Confronted by unrelenting doubts and fears, he looks to his newly assigned advocate, Sandra Warner, for answers and finds relief from his burdens and balm for his spirit in her unswerving support. Full of fresh optimism and energy, Sandra focuses her attention on building a new life and a promising future in diplomacy. Career and personal demands arise to challenge her intelligence, her determination, and her faith. She also gives him something to ponder…a greater mystery than he can ever hope to comprehend.

As Sandra welcomes more frequent visits from angel spirits, disturbing questions mount for Sirinoya and his family. How is it possible that Chikondra’s most rare and sacred creatures have chosen to communicate with a Terran. More importantly, why?

The saga found in this series is rich with action – keeps one engrossed to the very end of the book, and eagerly awaiting more.
