ODYSSEY OF THE BUTTERFLY Visit distant worlds, spend intimate moments with an elderly lesbian couple, venture into a future when death becomes a living nightmare, and experience a reality where dying is a way of life. Five short stories with a common thread: the butterfly -- illusive, mysterious and perhaps even magical. Follow the odyssey. Enjoy the journey. DAUGHTERS OF THE QUEEN--When the survival of all depends on the wisdom of one, making the wrong choice is devastating. A queen must first teach her daughters about life before sending them into a world where death is one mistake away.     TOUCH OF THE BUTTERFLY--Lylia is one of Liera's best scientists, and the pride of Xplor. After losing contact with her on an evolving planet, the company sends out a rescue team. Desperate to find her lover, Ariana volunteers to lead the mission. What she discovers is not what she expected. Sometimes doing the wrong thing is the right choice.  KISS OF THE BUTTERFLY--After passion fades, what then? Can love carry Jen and Suze through the day-to-day struggles of growing old? Life may not always be fair, but for this elderly lesbian couple it's still worth living, even when it seems impossibly hard. TO KILL A BUTTERFLY--Arrogance! One man brings humanity to the brink of extinction. While zombie-like creatures roam free, people hide behind walls struggling to survive. In Sanctuary, food storages are low. There are only two possible solutions; one seems impossible, the other unthinkable. When a team of hunters is sent in search of a new home they discover life isn't defined by who you are, but what you are. A TIME FOR CHANGE--Change is a part of life. No one knows this more than Shawna, a Healer whose ability to cure illnesses has altered many lives. What happens when a dying friend refuses her offer of help? Shawna must make the hardest decision of her life: do nothing knowing she has the power to change everything.   Odyssey of the Butterfly is about lives transformed after encounters with a mysterious butterfly. For better or for worse, they will never be the same.

Fantasy

THE FIRST AWARENESS of existence was a chaotic flash of colors, meaningless and yet in an odd way logical. Why, she isn’t sure. Birth is the most significant event in life, and yet it is never memorable, at least not for the newborn. But then, she really isn’t a newborn, even though it is the first day of her life. She is 1A526, the first of her kind, an artificially intelligent blend of technology and bio-mechanics. Created to serve humans, Solaria and her AI programmer, Carley, soon discover the company funding the Hubot Project has more sinister motives. If Solaria is to fulfill the hopes of the woman who had given her existence meaning, she has to become the human her programmer dreamed of and take down Future Dynamicon, the company that created her.

Now, her perfect record was going to be tested to its limits. In her attempts to find and capture Solaria, another Hubot, Primeris is forced to either disobey her directive of obedience or become the human she never wanted to be. The Order of the Healers was exactly that, healers. Their mission was to move humanity forward, even if it meant saving the worst of mankind. Chantelle is a Singer, a member of a small sub-group of Healers, whose latest calling takes her on a mission that will test her gift to its limit, and leave her wondering if her success will lead to humanity’s downfall.
