A note from the author: Spirit of Empire is, at present, a three-book series. It might go to four books next year. Each book is twice as long as a standard novel, so you are getting excellent value along with a great story. I published Book One, Last of the Chosen, on Amazon in February 2011. Book Two, Knights of the Chosen, was released in July 2011. I am planning to release Book Three, Voice of the Chosen, around January 2012, though I make no promises on that date. The important thing is this: the first three books are written, so you do not risk investing yourself in a story that never reaches completion. Take the plunge: you will not regret it.The story:The Empire, hundreds of thousands of civilizations scattered across the galaxy, has been subtly invaded by the Chessori, diminutive creatures wielding a powerful mind weapon. No one can resist this terrible mind weapon, and the war is lost before anyone knows it began.Ellandra of the Chosen, the youngest and last surviving leader of the Empire, flees the Chessori. In desperation, she lands on a little-known emerging world called Earth where she is rescued by Mike Carver, an innocent bystander. In the process, he discovers that he and the people of Earth are immune to the mind weapon. Join Mike and Ellandra on their quest to restore the Empire to its former glory. Along the way they will enlist many others, including:• Otis, a Great Cat, the most lethal Protector in the Empire.• Jake, a Rider, an intelligent alien mass of protoplasm. If a person could be considered a commodity, Riders would be the single most valuable commodity in the Empire. Unfortunately for Mike, Riders can only survive inside a host body.• George, a nearly sentient artificial intelligence.• Krys, a young woman far across the galaxy who receives unwelcome visions of the future. She hears Ellandra's call, but she is just an orphan. What can she do?

Voice of the Chosen is the third book in the Spirit of Empire series. Readers are strongly encouraged to read the first two books before embarking on this third book. Struthers has suffered serious defeats at the hands of Terran forces, but he is fighting back. First on his list: convene the Imperial Senate, name himself emperor, and officially declare Imperial Forces in rebellion. To stop him, the Queen must present herself to the senate, but the meeting will be held on Triton, Rebel headquarters. It is up to First Knight Michael Carver to find a way to spirit her into the senate and back out again. Because she is the Last of the Chosen, his plan must be perfect. The meeting will take place in 18 months, a time which both sides will use to solidify their positions. Meanwhile, the Chessori know who it is that's been defeating them. They have successfully dealt with emerging worlds in the past, and they fully expect to do so again.

The essays in this collection examine the connections between the forces of empire and women's lives in the early Americas, in particular the ways their narratives contributed to empire formation. Focusing on the female body as a site of contestation, the essays describe acts of bravery, subversion, and survival expressed in a variety of genres, including the saga, letter, diary, captivity narrative, travel narrative, verse, sentimental novel, and autobiography. The volume also speaks to a range of female experience, across the Americas and across time, from the Viking exploration to early nineteenth-century United States, challenging scholars to reflect on the implications of early American literature even to the present day.

"When Randa, a reporter for an alternative newspaper in Los Angeles, receives an urgent phone call from her estranged lover, Cam, she rushes to his apartment. She arrives to discover that he's leapt from the building to his death. Police believe that before committing suicide, Cam also murdered someone in a convenience store, but Randa does not believe Cam is capable of such an act. She seeks out Cam's brother, Jack, who is living off the grid, somewhere near Atlanta, in hope of figuring out what really happened. Meanwhile, a Jesuit priest named Michael Kinney has been exiled from New York City to the boondocks of Georgia after making controversial public statements. He has said things that educated people of faith are not supposed to express. Even more problematically, he has fallen in love with a woman, and the last surviving member of his family has kept a shocking family secret"--
