Ronica McBride possesses The Sting–Class A psychic powers that guaranteed her position as a future leader of the interplanetary Com--until she awoke on a primitive planet with no memory of how she got there. Once she recovers her memory and escapes, Ronica discovers a shocking truth–everything the Com taught her was a lie. Ronica returns to the Com and vows to confront the powers who deceived her–and her entire civilization. But to accomplish her mission she will have to find reserves of strength previously unknown, will have to push her astounding psychic skills to the next level and beyond, to destroy the corruption that is tearing the Com apart and to protect her loved ones–and herself.

Far-ranging scientific speculation meets action and adventure, grand space opera, thrilling discovery, and intelligent protagonists...
"Warrior Wisewoman combines stories of women in struggles that range across political, biological, social, and even military lines in a future variably far away...women who may or may not fight with weapons, but always strive for something beyond the fight. Inventive, unusual, these are stories to ponder over time...whether the reader agrees that the women are warriors, or wise, or that anyone can be both."
--Elizabeth Moon, author of The Speed of Dark, Remnant Population, and The Deed of Paksenarrion"The stories in Warrior Wisewoman create new ways of looking at ideas, science fiction, and living itself at a time when we are all hungry for new thoughts expressed in new ways. The stories are austere, lyrical, and fuse science with ethics and emotion in a way that is very rare. If Le Guin's people who walked away from Omelas told us their stories, they would write like this."

A SONG OF AWAKENING by Roby James is a monumental, richly romantic historical with a subtle touch of fantasy.Born into the 13th century's turmoil and warfare, Briana of Flint is a lady of legend. Myrrdin, the greatest bard in Wales, prophesied at her birth that she would "rise from fetters and bring freedom with her."
In the struggle of the Welsh against the ruthless King Edward I of England, Briana loses almost everything she loves -- her family, her home, and her liberty. But three extraordinary men offer her ways to discover the ultimate, unanticipated truth of Myrrdin's prophecy.
Ine, a lesser bard, has no idea why he has been chosen to inherit the Welsh bardic tradition...
Rees, the King's nephew, experiences a near death on Crusade, an event that transforms him more than anyone guesses...
Owen Glyn, the last of the Welsh rebels, gathers to himself in the fastness of Snowdonia all that remains of Prince Llewelyn's dream of freedom for Wales...
Ranging from the deep valleys and high mountains of Wales to the English court at Windsor and Westminster, with stops in France and the Holy Land, this intricate story of music, swordplay, loss, and redemption follows exceptional men and women trying to live in an age with values different from their own -- an age of awakening.
