Major Rory of the Ronan Officer Lineage, Active Duty Division, was raised by her father to follow the family tradition of soldiering; she deviates from the path to a hero's death falling in battle by, instead, falling in love. Her dreams for a family and home of her own are shattered to an endless nightmare when her husband and young son are killed before her eyes.
The military sends her back to the thick of battle. They hope her grief will turn her into a vengeful warrior. However, the brokenhearted Major has lost her desire to kill. When faced with a suicide mission, she makes the decision to save the lives of the soldiers under her command by disregarding direct orders.
Beaten, broken, and branded a coward, Rory is sentenced not to the death she hoped for but to life. She is to serve more than a normal human lifetime in a distant planet's underground penal colony at hard labor. A lifelong homophobe, Rory is horrified when she learns she must sleep with a young woman, Rabbit, in order to survive the frigid nights.
Rabbit's sweet innocence creates confusion for Rory. All her previously held beliefs are being dismantled by the world she is forced to confront. When a sliver of a chance is offered to reclaim her freedom, Rory will use any means to achieve it. Including allowing herself to fall in love again. But, this time she's falling in love with a woman named Rabbit.
A new trial brings old friend and older enemies to New Earth. Rory and Rabbit must withstand the full might of a corrupt government which remains in power with the aid of an alien race of arms dealers. Rory's plight is the flash point for a coupe throwing Old Earth into chaos. The battle back home, the place of her birth, rages but Rory is finished with war. She stays with Rabbit and reclaims her once ruined dream of love and a home of her own with Rabbit in a place called New Earth.

Announcement From Blue Feather Books
Today we have two excellent news items for our readers . First, we're very pleased to announce the release of Kelly Sinclair's latest book, In the Now , a fascinating story of reincarnation and its ramifications:
Psychiatrist Carla Turner sets out to disprove reincarnation. To make her point and strike a blow for science, she enlists Amy Duran, her favorite patient, for a past-life regression that Carla believes is destined to fail. But a potent, experimental drug used for the study works all too well. Amy is swept away into her previous life as Isao Watanabe, a Japanese World War II veteran, who finds twenty-first century Austin, Texas, to be as shocking as the female body he now inhabits.
To bring back her beloved Amy, Carla must battle a powerful drug company as well as her headline-chasing former professor, a woman determined to establish that past-life regression exists.
If Amy returns to the present, what happens to the charismatic Isao? Can two people—one male, one female; one dead, one alive—share the same body?
In the Now, an intuitive exploration of identity, gender, and faith, asks the thought-provoking question, what if reincarnation is a biological fact? And if it's real, how do you face all the good and evil you've done—in this lifetime or your last?
Don't miss this insightful, thought-provoking story! Get your copy now, at www.bluefeatherbooks.com . Also available soon in print and e-book format from Bella Distribution.
In other news, we'd like to welcome Barbara Valletto to the Blue Feather family.
Barbara has been writing fiction (supernatural, mystery, and horror/thriller genres) since the late seventies, and has had numerous short stories published. Most of these stories were inspired by intense childhood nightmares.
She works as a safety representative for a major utility company. Her free time (when not writing, of course) is spent enjoying her partner, her daughter, and any activities that involve being on, under, or near the ocean, for that is where she feels most in tune with her emotions.
Pulse Points is her first full-length, lesbian fictional work:
The normally quiet town of Verhoven, NY, is plagued by gruesome murders, leading Sheriff Lea Carlson to believe a serial killer is in their midst. Just when she thinks circumstances can't get any worse, Kylie Vinson, Lea's former lover, returns to Verhoven.
Kylie, a criminal behaviorist, has returned to Verhoven to find healing after surviving a brutal physical assault. But when Kylie is the one to find a murder victim, she and Lea put aside their unresolved feelings for each other to track down the killer.
Maya Holworth, Verhoven's newest resident, comes into Kylie's life in an unexpected way. The attraction is immediate and they begin a passionate affair. As Kylie plunges into her new relationship, Lea remains suspicious.
When Kylie discovers Maya's unexpected connection to the murders, she is confronted with a terrible choice: kill, or allow an innocent to die. Her choice will affect the lives of everyone in Verhoven.
If you crave shock value and being kept in the dark until the last possible moment, then this story is a must-read for you!

Announcement From Bedazzled Ink
Okay, I'll admit, I'm a bit bias about our latest book “Wild e-Password Book” . And I was the first one to order it! Finally, the hundred scraps of paper scattered around my house will be neatly organized in an encrypted form. That's what makes this book different than others. You select the code numbers [At least 6 to make those crypto quips addicts sweat] and record the logins and passwords in code. Although there are apps and such for passwords, there is a generation out there that prefers to have things written down and put in a safe place. Originally, my dad wanted a spinner on the book to use for the decoder...aka the old scouts decoder ring... but had to devise a new way with this format. With or without coding your passwords, this nifty book will certainly help you organize your now generation information. Claudia Wilde
Do you have too many passwords for email, logins, and online accounts? Are you afraid to write them down because someone might see them?
The Wild-e-Password Encryption System, honoring Army Military Intelligence Officer Colonel Camillo Wilde (AUS/Ret.), is an easy-to-use method of encrypting and decoding passwords plus pages where you can keep all your important Internet and computer information.
Available from online and brick&mortar stores.... http://roguebooks.bedazzledink.com/rogue-wild-e-password.html
