Zaria was a princess-not by blood but by capture. She was abducted in her teens from the western Slavic tribes and kept as a virgin by the powerful warring king, Sharvur. Cruel and strategically gifted, his Scythian armies controlled all the territories in the shadows of the Atai Mountains to the east, some twenty-six hundred years before our time. Told by the oldest shaman in his land, that as long as Zaria remained pure of body and did not succumb to the lust which permeated Sharvur's court, his kingdom would remain invincible. But like the fanciful tattoos which the Slavic girl added each year to her supple body, her curiosity and desires increased, threatening to bring down the Pazyryk tribe. In "Book Two," following Sharvur's incarceration by two competing generals, Zaria, along with her lover Tsudros the tattoo artist, perform a bold escape. In the company of her fellow slave Branka, and her teacher-lover Moshtok, they attempt to return to the girls' homeland in the West. Many adventures await and confront them on this daring trek across the Eurasian plains. But how will they be accepted back in the Slavic tribe with their new foreign lovers? Will they ever return to the land of the Scythian nomads? In 1993 a team of Russian archaeologists discovered a rich burial tomb on the bleak steppes bordering Russia, Mongolia and Kazakhstan. Frozen and remarkably preserved in the permafrost, they uncovered the mysterious body of a woman they would call the "Siberian Princess." Her body was yet that of a young female, but she had the most compelling tattoos ever discovered from ancient history. This is her story. How she loved and how she died.

Maera was a nymph. Or was she? She claimed to be a genuine Nereid from antiquity. Right out of the pages of Greek mythology. Well, that's what she told Doc Roussos who lived alone on the island. Kalamos was remote and sparsely populated. An exquisite pine-covered jewel that rose steep and majestic out of the turquoise and cobalt Mediterranean. Maera would visit Doc on those summer nights uninvited. Arriving unannounced, she would appear at his ruin--a formerly destroyed Venetian castle. It was a place over the years he had more-less inherited, as volunteer custodian of the archaeological structure. But who really was this honey-haired girl who began to invade Doc's chosen isolation? Somewhere in her twenties, beautiful, and with a musical voice and a graceful gait, she seemed real enough to the retired professor. But it was her nightly stories which gave him pause for disbelief. They were tales from a long-ago past. And not just of previous ages, but romances and adventures Dr. Roussos had been long familiar with. Mythological accounts capable of beguiling a charmed listener well into a world time before time . . . But were the stories all she offered him?

What explosive discoveries were made by an eccentric desert collector who chose to hide his phenomenal secrets for over thirty years? Blake Henderson inherited more than just a key to a remote storage garage in Farmington, New Mexico. When his estranged and recluse father died, few useless belongings were handed down to him. But none were so mysterious as the contents of sealed wooden boxes and a series of intriguing notebooks-all seemingly forgotten and under lock and key for decades. The Pueblo Native Americans of Chaco Canyon, NM, had a massive and advanced civilization long before the Spanish invaded their ancestral lands in the 16th century. But why did these indigenous people inexplicably disappear? And How? What relationship did these and other Southwestern indigenous cultures have with the "star people" as they refer to them in their esoteric traditions? What event gave them cause to relocate from their advanced engineered living complexes on the desert floor to more safe dwellings under the monolithic cliffs at Mesa Verde in Colorado, out of sight from the heavens? And then vanish completely? Coming into the area from California on his Spring Break, Blake thought he would only be verifying his abandoned father's pointless absence from his life since birth. What he found following in the wake of his murder, threatened to shake what is known about our singular existence in the universe . . .
