The Continuing Adventures of Penelope Victoria Steele... London in the 19th Century of the Second Universe seems the perfect refuge for Penelope and Elizabeth. But instead of proving to be the green and pleasant England that they had so hoped for, the pair quickly find themselves embroiled in the machinations of mysterious figures, shadowy cults and a book that promises to reveal the master plan of an alien enemy. Worse, Penelope discovers a side to herself that she had never known existed and becomes unsure if she, or it, will triumph.

Mankind's time ended in 2445. Womankind's was just beginning... Humanity not only made it to the stars, but by the year 2445, our species had colonized hundreds of worlds. What nobody expected was the MARS plague. No one knew its origin, but within a decade, the gender-specific virus had killed every human male. Only females survived, saved by advanced genetic engineering. And in the wake of the plague, the warlike Hriss invaded and the First Widows War began. Womankind ultimately won the conflict and the United Sisterhood of Suns was born. Now, a thousand years later, the Sisterhood enjoys the most advanced technology and the highest standard of life in the Far Arm. But an uneasy peace exists between Womankind and its neighbors. It is up to officers like Commander Lilith bin Jeni and her ship the Pallas Athena, to enforce maritime law and defend the frontier against aggressors. Inside the Sisterhood, intrigues brew, and rumors abound. The strangest concerns the Neomen, and the possibility that they might actually serve in combat roles. As any sensible woman knows, this is pure nonsense; men are too emotionally unstable to handle the rigors of combat. History has proven this conclusively.

The conclusion of the Sisterhood of Suns series... Occupied by the Sisterhood, the ETR is on the verge of civil war. In the Sisterhood itself, terrorism is on the rise, and a sinister conspiracy at the highest levels of society threatens to overthrow the government and ignite an interstellar war. Peace, and the balance of power in the Far Arm depends on an unlikely group of heroines and a mysterious artifact thousands of years old.

The dramatic sequel to "Sisterhood of Suns: Pallas Athena" After placing The School under quarantine, the Sisterhood receives a shocking surprise: the society that the tiny settlement is a part of desperately needs their help. Rather than risk another disastrous war with Womankind, Hriss Clans have shifted their aggression to the Esteral Terrana Rapabla. And the ETR is losing the fight. Now the Sisterhood grapples with whether they should help their newly rediscovered neighbors, and what the effect will be on both societies if they do.

The exciting conclusion of the "Blackbird" series... With Nazca in ruins and Elizabeth missing, Penelope must struggle to find her lover, and then determine if she is a Lyran agent, or a victim of the insidious Mr. Grey. That, and win her right to wield Excalibur, and the Sangreal. But her path to the summit of the Ladder is filled with perils, and she must call upon all of her powers to win her way through the tests that await her. Nothing less than the lives of millions of unsuspecting humans hangs in the balance.

In the 3rd Universe, the Union Jack flies proudly over the entire continent of North America. England is the greatest power in the world. But another force rules over the Crown. It is a mysterious group called the Masters. And their sinister servants, the Bookmen, enforce their laws against advanced technology. The fires of dissent have not been extinguished however; the Free Radicals study scientific advances in secret and Penelope Victoria Steele has joined their rebellion. The beautiful and educated daughter of the Provincial Governor of Northwestin-Cascadia, she risks her very life to uncover forbidden knowledge, for to defy the Masters means death. What she does not realize is that her world is not what it seems to be. Nor is time and space.

Things don't always turn out the way that we expect them to. Take the world for example; just when humanity thought that it would be destroyed by environmental collapse, the vampires stepped in and took over. Now, the planet is healing, the economy is stable, wars are a thing of the past, and everyone knows who the President will be for the next two hundred years. Of course, death isn't quite as certain as it used to be, but taxes still are-even if they are paid in blood. The only problem is that one of the undead has started kidnapping daytimer girls for his own little blood farm. And in "A Kinder, Greener Vampire", it's up to Detective 'Cami' Karnstein of the Los Angeles Nocturnal Police Department, and her human partner, to solve the case before it's too late. Join Martin Schiller and guest author, Thomas Trujillo for this, and other tales of the strange, the supernatural, and the unexpected. Also included: a special preview of Book 4 of the "Sisterhood" science fiction series; "Sisterhood of Suns: Andromeda", and a sneak peek of an entirely new universe, "Blackbird: A Warrior of the No-When."

Based on the true story of Martin Schiller, a child survivor of the Holocaust, this gripping memoir describes the unfolding horror of the Nazi genocide seen through the eyes of a child. 'Menek' (Schiller's childhood nickname) was six-years-old when the Nazis invaded Poland, and his family fled eastward from their native Tarnobrzeg.
