A beautiful pregnant fairy princess abducts a recent med school graduate who possesses paranormal healing powers and conscripts him to save her people from a mysterious affliction. Recognizing that his only way out is through helping the princess' people, the fledgling doctor applies his skills and powers to the task. Forced to confront enemies who attempt to kill him, he relies on his intelligence and his new found allies in mortal hand-to-hand combat.
As he heals the fallen and shows the leaders the path they must take, he realizes that something missing from his life has only been an arm's length away. He returns home intent on forgetting his adventure. However, a chance encounter with a woman he once loved, and the arrival of one of his comrades in arms, ensures that his life can never be as it once was.

He must save and redirect lives on both sides of the parallel divide putting not only his own life on the line, but the life of the woman he comes to love and the lives of several of their friends.
Drawn by the ongoing conflicts between magical races, he and his friends join together to fight the forces that would destroy them all. They return home and open a secret school for students with magical talents. The enemy has been set back but not defeated and brings the war to them. The enemy kidnaps their three year old daughter only to discover that her magical power is the greatest of all.

Autorenporträt

Writing has always gotten me in trouble. Still does.

I have been a fan of science and speculative fiction since I found it in the young people's section of the library. In grade school, I devoured works by Heinlein, Norton, Asimov, and Huxley among others. By the time I had finished high school, I had read every science fiction book in the town's library.

When I was in high school I wrote short stories instead of paying attention in math class. This did not help my math grade and would have serious consequences a few years later.

In college, I could be counted on for the divergent opinion. This was after my failed math forced a complete redirection of my life plan. A disastrous Freshman year at Brandeis University, forced a reevaluation of reading materials. Switching majors to theater brought exposure to Shaw, Strindberg, Ibsen, Stoppard, Pinter, Shakespeare, and a host of young would-be playwrights. As a technical theater major, I found that the quantity of material to which I was exposed often surpassed the quality. Too busy to do any writing of his own, I devoted his time to supporting the efforts of others.

The Vietnam War brought a tour of duty in South Carolina and the opportunity to begin graduate work at the University of South Carolina. While in the Air Force, my anti-war sentiments did not become an issue, because I kept them secret. I did no writing except for my graduate school classes which I took while still in service. Even here, I was ever the contrarian, unwilling or unable to go where the others went. Fortunately, as a design major, my writing was of less concern than my draftsmanship. The war ended and with less than a month to go on my MA, and no job opportunities in sight, I left school lacking only my thesis and took a paying job at Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus World in Haines City Florida Master's degrees in the theater were not worth much in the aftermath of the Vietnam War.

Fortunately, through a series of unlikely coincidences, I landed a job as technical director of the then brand new Tupperware Convention Center. At the time, it was the only full-time convention center in Central Florida. I would stay there for twenty years earning an MBA along the way although my work schedule left little time for either reading or writing except for articles in technical journals.

My sudden departure from Tupperware provided the time to return to reading and writing...
