A fantasy novel set in Ancient Greece and Modern Athens
In an ancient world, the Fates decree that a Champion
will soon be brought forth. A being both mortal and eternal,
destined to become as legendary as the Gods to whom she
will be forever enslaved. Of the twelve who rule on Mount
Olympus, it is Ares, son of Zeus and Hera, God of War, who
recognizes both the truth of the divination, and the one
who has been chosen.
In the slave markets of Athens, Ares finds his Champion
and binds her to him. She is called Amarantha, and under
the tutelage of the War God, she becomes a warrior with
no equal. But she has yet to understand who her Master is,
and what the Fates have woven as her destiny. And, Ares
has yet to face another truth, that the heart of his chosen
Champion and consort belongs to another—King Iphicles,
the mortal twin of his half-brother Heracles.
Thrown into a war that places her at the side of King Iphicles,
Amarantha is unknowingly balancing the powerful forces of
love and war. At the end of her battles, amid tragic loss
and despair, she comes face to face with her Fate, and a
choice must be made within the heartbeats that separate
life and death.
One the eve of a new millennium, as the year 1999 approaches
its end, the Champion of Olympus is called forth by disciples
of the Ancient Order of Zeus, and once again Amarantha must
defend history and myth with her very life. But, as always,
the Fates have patterned a complex image, one that traces
its threads back to a mortal life so long forgotten it no
longer seems real. Trapped in the modern world, Amarantha
sees the soul of her beloved Iphicles in another man's eyes,
and the fulfillment of yet another prediction looms imminent.
A prophetic foresight that may seal not only her Fate, but
that of the Olympian Gods, and a madman determined to shape
a new order of faith and vision that will dominate a planet
and rewrite history… Read More ...

THE LIGHT WITHIN MY SOUL
The story is set in Rome, and involves a stunning Italian singer, and a young tourist stranded in the city. Their story begins when one of Italy’s glittering stars returns home to make a video for his latest release, and spend some vacation time in the small village of his birth. Jaded and tired, Riccardo Bartolinni is not looking to become involved in anything more demanding than a swim in the pool of his secluded villa. He’s had enough of paparazzi, socialites and debutantes, as well as the glitz and glamour of the parties and receptions. He needs time to be alone and do some soul-searching. But, life seldom works out the way anyone plans, even an internationally acclaimed singer.
During what should be the final day of filming his new video, Riccardo’s sound people pick up a disturbance at a nearby café interfering with their shoot. The handsome singer decides to see if there’s anything he can do to help the distraught girl in the middle of a heated argument between the owner and a young man seated at the table with her. When he has straightened things out and gone back to work, he thinks that’s the end of it. But, the girl is at the café again the next day, and he soon discovers she’s been stabbed and is near death. Things quickly change for the renowned singer when the results of an investigation suggest the reason for her injury might be connected to Riccardo, and not her cheating boyfriend.
Telling himself he is simply taking responsibility for the girl because of what the police have told him, Riccardo takes her to his villa to recover, and it’s not long before the seductive playboy finds himself falling very much in love with her.
For Jillian Light, a woman barely aware of the fame of the man who has come to her rescue, an affair with a gorgeous Italian was never in the cards when she decided to visit Rome with her fiancé's tour company. Finding Brad Savage in bed with an employee of the hotel they were staying in was devastating enough, but being confined to a villa with the striking man who saved her from bleeding to death was creating an entirely different kind of terror in her vulnerable heart. Riccardo Bartolinni was the type of man a woman never forgets once she’s fallen under his spell, and he was definitely out of her league in a big way. Yet, kindness and warmth could weave a bond that no amount of good sense could escape, as she was about to find out.
Falling in love with him more each day, Jillian is torn between the desire to give herself to the affair and walk away with a cherished memory, and the need to retain what little freedom she still has in his presence. In the midst of his vacation, Ric is forced into the spotlight yet again in order to lure a potential killer, but this time, Jillian is at his side, and an old lover adds yet another complication to the deadly game that is being put into play. If they survive, will love be enough to overcome the tremendous pressures of his career, and his very public past?
