Fallen Angel
In a time before the Sumerian civilizations of Mesopotamia, an ancient spirit falls in love with a mortal woman of pure heart and uncommon beauty. Longing for more than the whisper of her thoughts, he gathers the elements of an epic storm and, from her dreams, forges the body of a warrior graced with the child-like wonder of an angel. Though, scarcely, after his first drawn breath, he discovers his own mortal rage. In a primitive world gone mad with war, he stands over her splayed body, left for dead on the scorched stones of a wilderness wasteland. But it's not archaic weapons that threaten to wrest her from the reach of a spirit’s miracle. It's the seed of forbidden love that will either destroy her, or if she should survive … condemn immortals to walk the earth to the end of time.
Last Fallen
Carolyn was only the second woman he’d ever loved, and on September 11th, hers was one of more than two thousand lives lost. For Jack Cheramie, his wife’s trembling voice forever haunts him -- her final moments captured in eternity on their apartment's answer machine. Her desperate plea, her last whisper of love. Her frightened cry that ultimately splintered into static … as the second tower fell. A tortured reminder that he’d failed her, the only woman who could bring calm to the storm that was his life. What would she think, if she’d known the truth? That he could have saved her… or that he might still try.
