Mix science fiction and the zodiac and what do you have? An unbounded universe and unlimited options - just perfect for an obstinate, passionate Capricorn heroine. But what happens if people are prejudice against the character because she is different somehow?
Discrimination against people because of race, age, disability, religion or sexual preference is wrong. In this tale the star signs are used as metaphors for discrimination to show how meaningless and arbitrary prejudice is, and how it is based in ignorance.

Excerpt: I pitied the man, although with so many cops around him, he was quite dangerous. Who needed 30 police officers to supervise one guy who in handcuffs and leg shackles? I watched him walk down the gauntlet between the rows of officers. It was as if I couldn't look away. He paused and looked around. His brilliant glowing blue eyes seemed to meet mine across the vast distance. I couldn't even blink as his eyes seemed to hold mine. The trees of a park broke our locked gaze as the bus kept on driving. I took a deep breath, suddenly realizing that I had stopped breathing the moment our eyes met. I had never seen such blue eyes before-and they glowed! A shiver ran through me. I had been too far away to make out the color of the man's eyes. My eyes watched the trees, hoping for a break in them so I could see the man again. I had no such luck. --- Fade-to-black action fantasy romance Copyright November 2017.
