Sequel to Gabriel's Ghost

Before her court-martial, Captain Chasidah “Chaz” Bergren was the pride of the Sixth Fleet. Now she’s a fugitive from the “justice” of a corrupt Empire. Along with her lover, the former monk, mercenary, and telepath Gabriel Ross Sullivan, Chaz hoped to leave the past light-years behind—until the news of her brother Thad’s arrest and upcoming execution for treason. It’s a ploy by Sully’s cousin Hayden Burke to force them out of hiding and it works.

With a killer targeting human females and a renegade gen lab breeding jukor war machines, Chaz and Sully already had their hands full of treachery, betrayal—not to mention each other. Throw in Chaz’s Imperial ex-husband, Admiral Philip Guthrie, and a Kyi-Ragkiril mentor out to seduce Sully and not just loyalties but lives are at stake. For when Sully makes a fateful choice changing their relationship forever, Chaz must also choose—between what duty demands and what her heart tells her she must do.

Be careful what you wish for. You might get it...

Her ship's in shambles, her boyfriend's dumped her and she's frankly out of funds. Captain Trilby Elliot hopes her luck has changed when a high-tech fightercraft crash lands near her repair site.

Finders keepers. She can sell the ship as salvage, pocket the profits. Except for one small problem: the pilot, Rhis, is still alive and intent on commandeering her ship. And another much larger problem: someone very powerful and very important wants Trilby Elliot dead.

Independent trader Trilby Elliot is forced into an uneasy alliance with Rhis Vanur, a Zafharin military officer who has crash-landed his crippled fighter on the uninhabited planet of Avanar, as they search for her missing best friend and discover that their mutual enemies, the 'Sko, are in hot pursuit of them both.     Top of Page

SHADES OF DARK

bulletYou’ll find reports from Sully’s ghost ship and the crew of the KARN are now available in SHADES OF DARK! SHADES OF DARK continues the story of Sully and Chaz about 3 months after GABRIEL'S GHOST. This continuation of their story is fulfilling from all aspects - relationships, politics and space adventure is mixed with love, suspense and action.
 
The crew of the KARN learns the Federation is falling apart when they rescue Chaz's ex-husband and the action escalates from there. We meet some new players and loose some old friends in this war. Meanwhile, someone from the crew is betraying them and emotions are high. Gabriel [Sully] and Chaz continue to share something special and their Kyi-psi link is growing - while they still have differences of opinion and sometimes separate agendas. The prince of the Kyi-Ragkiril appears as friend and mentor, but he has an agenda of his own that might prove more dangerous to Sully and Chaz than the traitor on their ship.
 
SHADES OF DARK is just so-o-o-o go-o-o-od! I LOVED IT! If you liked GABRIEL'S GHOST, this sequel is a MUST! (And I hear the publisher was smart enough to request more from this world as the rebellion continues -- woo-who! book futures are lookin' good!)

DOWN HOME ZOMBIE BLUES

bullet"MIB move over the Guardian Force is here"
After reading this book you will forget your preconceived idea of ZOMBIES! For those who enjoyed the movies MEN IN BLACK and MIB II, you will enjoy this book's humor and storyline.

Bio-engineered creatures called ZOMBIES were originally designed for protection but have turned murderous and it is up to the Interplanetary Guardian Force to seek and destroy.

It's Christmas in Bahia Vista, Florida, USA and Homicide Detective Sergeant Theo Petrakos was not looking forward to the holidays with friends and family match-making efforts. He had one last call before his vacation begins but he wasn't sure weird was an accurate case description. A strangely mummified body went to the morgue and his responsibility is to take some sort of hi-tech computer equipment to the station. The last thing he expected while making a short stop by his home was the appearance of a monster and a sassy pint-size lady warrior coming to his aide.

Since the Tresh Border War ended, Commander Jorie Mikkalah is part of the Guardian Force. She is dealing with shipboard politics which includes an ex-lover who has given her questionable evaluation and Captain Pietr who pits one officer against the other. Finding her way on a nil-tech planet whose strange language is similar to Vekran is not the easiest duty, but a friend assigned to Earth has not made contact and she feared he was dead. While attempting to recover the T-MOD and escape from ZOMBIE attack she transports Theo with her to her ship.

Although Jorie presents her suspicion that there is more than ZOMBIES on Earth, Captain Pietr is not convinced. After some tactful arguments, the Captain agrees to allow Theo to work with Jorie and her team to resolve Earth's ZOMBIE situation. They soon find the true extent of danger and must work with what and who is available despite regulations. Amidst distress and damage, these unlikely partners discover they are more alike than expected.

The fast-paced, unfolding of danger and melding of their efforts builds a believable adventure with a sly humor. The characters respect for duty and chain-of-command and frustration over its limitations as well as snippets showing differences and similarities in their relationships present a well-rounded troop. The humorous perceptions of Earth by Jorie and her rescue team added to the actions and reactions of Theo, his friends, family and neighbors build layers and details that readers will appreciate.

For further reader enjoyment, Ms Sinclair has links a video book blurb and the song DOWN HOME ZOMBIE BLUES available for fans who visit her web site.

Games of Command

bullet"This is a GAME you don't want to miss!"
After years of war, Keltish Triad and the United Coalition have formed an alliance but will it last? In a world where alliance does not mean friends, will a new threat be discovered to destroy the peace?

Branden Kel-Paten, the Admiral commanding First Fleet, has demanded that Captain Tasha Sebastian be stationed on his ship and to get her there he has agreed that some of her crew will join his crew. This includes Tasha's friend, Doctor Eden Fynn, Chief Medical Officer. To complete the cast of the crew on Triad Huntership "Vaxxar" there is Reilly, Eden's fursal and Tank, Sass' fursal.

Although Doc Eden wishes to stay on planet to discover what is causing mysterious deaths, Vaxxar has been ordered to capture Pirate Captain Jace Serafino. The pirate is Kel- Paten's long-time enemy, one of the few besides Sass to make him loose his legendary cool.

Sass lives up to her name with humor and dialog through- out the story. The telepathic focus in the story compliments the science which is well written. Fans of Star Trek will see its influence in this space opera.

GAMES OF COMMAND is a stand-alone book includes science fiction and romance in a balance that will satisfy both genre readers. The emotion, action and suspense will keep you turning pages until the very end and still wish for more.

For those who may ask - this is NOT a rewrite of COMMAND PERFORMANCE! Although there are certain similarities, this is a new story albeit with the same characters and similar bones.

Gabriel's Ghost

bullet"Fast action Sci-fi worth reading again!"
In family military tradition, Chasidah 'Chaz' Bergren was a dedicated captain of an interstellar patrol ship. The shock of a railroaded court-martial and sentence of life imprisonment on Moabar had barely set in when she received an offer from a nemesis she thought was dead.

Gabriel "Sully" Sullivan was not a ghost, but an intergalactic pirate on a mission of mercy. Sully needs Chaz's help uncovering a deadly plot involving high council members of the empire. Their survival skills and determination are put to the test and on a more personal level, Chaz's trust and growing affection is tested time and time again as one-by-one she learns Gabriel's secrets.

Sully is an intriguing mix of authority and power with insecurity that grabs your heart. Chaz is sassy and pragmatic and is comfortable with her feminine disposition. Sully's friend Ren, Chaz's ex-husband Philip and her brother Thad may be secondary characters, but they are not secondary in this quest. The subtle weaving of events into a complex but easily followed plot makes this a book for your keeper shelf.

Finders Keepers

bullet"Sprite-sized Captian Trilby shows Captain 'Emperor' Rhis a whole new world"
Trilby Elliot's upbringing as a street orphan helped make her a tough Independent starship captain. The past 5 years she has worked hard and has everything she needs -- except parts to keep her ship flying. That is until a fighter craft crashes on the small planet where she is doing repairs. Finder's keepers... the law of the streets and the rule of salvage means she now has what she needs to repair her ship and more. Unfortunately the 'more' she wants to keep includes the surviving pilot. What is she to do with this attractive but arrogant mystery man?

Rhis is astounded to find this sprite-like woman captaining an antiquated cargo ship. He is even more surprised at her talents and courage. On his own ship he has been nicknamed 'the Emperor' for his demanding ways and he is enjoying having someone who knows him only as Rhis. Unfortunately, he must do whatever it takes to get back to his ship with the information he has in an attempt to prevent an Intergalactic war. If that includes hijacking her ship and forcing her to join him on his world, all the better as he is finding she has becoming a necessity in his life.

The inevitable changes in the relationship between Trilby and Rhis once he is again in control on his ship are explored as well as the danger they now must face. The worlds and politics that shaped the characters are woven within the story and the decisions made by secondary characters are an essential and intriguing part of the plot. As the adventure builds and the battle becomes a joint effort you will find yourself involved in the struggle and after the victory, wishing to remain in their universe.

This well-balanced story will please even the most discriminating reader. FINDERS KEEPERS has a strong romance plot as well as the high standard of adventure and suspense expected from a science fiction story. Others must support my opinion as FINDERS KEEPERS won the 2001 P.E.A.R.L. Award for Romantic Science Fiction; 2001 Dorothy Parker Award and was 2001 Sapphire Award Finalist for Best Science Fiction/Fantasy Book for 2001

bullet"A space opera, with suspense, computer hacking, space battles and galaxy-wide threats"
Independent freighter captain Trilby Elliot has parked her ancient ship on an uninhabited planet to make repairs with the help of her robot, Dezi (who reminded me a bit of C3PO). When a ship crashes into the forest nearby, Trilby plans on salvaging the ship... FINDERS KEEPERS. Along with salvaging useful parts, she 'salvages' the pilot who is inconvenient though intriguing.

The arrogant pilot, Rhis Vanur insists Trilby immediately return him to his squadron as it is a matter of intergalactic security. Inadvertantly, she finds out that Rhis is really "T'var the Terrible", Senior Captain in the Imperial Fleet. Although his staff and crew are loyal to him, Rhis is a Superman-type character who has special skills but not 'people skills'.

Trilby is a 'people person' and used to running her own life. She experienced life in the "school of hard knocks" which has made her tough, given her a strong sense of right and wrong but weak self-worth. Trilby unwittingly finds herself a pawn in a political intrigues which involving her former boyfriend, both Intergalactic Alliances and their enemy the `Sko.

I can highly recommend this book as it has something for all fiction readers. FINDERS KEEPERS is NOT a typical "futuristic romance". The plot can be compared to a space opera, with suspense, computer hacking, space battles and galaxy-wide threats. This is part of the new 'romantic science fiction' genre that has solid scientific fiction and action and adventure that drives the story. Star Wars and Star Trek fans will appreciate this book and other books in this growning genre. Romance fans will not be disappointed as the 'happily ever after' comes after much excitement. Action and adventure fans will appreciate the intrigue and skillfully written adventure.
