Leo Rising is tale of epic proportions that ties together two lives separated by 13,000 years of change, yet mysteriously bound by destiny and birthright. Kala, high priestess to Inanna the goddess of love and fertility, is a daughter of the Anakim, and descended from the Anunnaki, the gods themselves. As the grand cycle passes from the age of Virgo to the Age of Leo, what has been foretold and feared has now come to be. Kala must defend the ancient mother religion and her homeland at all costs, and prevent the bringers of a new violent religion from usurping her people's culture and freedom. The new religion of the fire-mountain god would bring war and destruction, along with slavery and misogyny in its wake. Thousands of years later, Cassie Bartoli an astronomer at Goldstone Observatory, uncovers a secret that if allowed to go public, would upset the balance of power, bringing about the end of the present religious and political system. Simultaneously, in southern Iraq, archaeologist Steve Vance unearths an ancient marvel as well as the fabled city of Ellu-Ezinu. He can now prove the Nephelim, the Sons of God written of in Genesis, were not merely a fabled race of giants. Steve also unearths powerful artifacts, but only Cassie is the key to their usage. Together, Cassie and Steve must reveal the unlikely truth to the world before their separate discoveries are forever suppressed from the planet by those who fear the loss of their power.

When the Summerlands Carnival comes to the town of Elkston, Arthur is mired in memories of his past concerning the woman he loved and lost in a tragic incident as they pursued their passion. An easement to his pain, Arthur befriends young Ted, taking him under his wing as an apprentice in photojournalism. As their friendship deepens, Arthur's life is revealed to Ted, in particular, the events surrounding Abagail, Arthur's lost love. Strange phenomena center around photographs of Abagail, and the happenings at the traveling Carnival affect Ted in a way he never could have imagined, causing him to question reality and redefine his view of what is possible. Summerlands is a story of love unrequited, of conflict and resolution. It reads as a montage of lives touching and overlapping each other, of friendships built on successes and failures, but mostly the lesson that even beyond the grave, love will surely endure. Any reader who enjoyed "Tuesdays with Morrie" or "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" by Mitch Albom, will certainly love this novel.
