SWALLOW AND DOVE: A TALE FROM THE TURMOILS (A novella)

Dove is an unusual Elvwist, one that is spoiled and used to getting what it wants. When it decides to befriend Swallow, it has an ulterior motive that does not involve love or taking vows. It finds that it has a lot to learn when things take a turn and become more than it bargained for.

*

HARD CHANGES (A novelette)

Randa is a woman who lives a rough life in an isolated area on Boucher's World. After her mate goes missing, she finds herself fleeing into the forest with her children to hide from men who would do them harm. She discovers that her children, and a small kitten they have befriended, have unusual abilities akin to the ones of the Elvwists, beings she was raised to believe are demons. Then, she meets them and learns what they actually are.

*

BRIDGE (A novel)

Randa's saga continues. She discovers that like her children, all Humans born within the last two decades are psychics. Though she was born too late to be one of them, she becomes an essential ingredient in the establishment of a society that bridges the gap between the old ways and the new, and the lives of the Elvwists and Humans become inextricably intertwined.
