Phoenix
Megan Carter, injured, battered, abused, but not broken, discovers a weapon that was lost for ages. With the power of this weapon she manages to enlist the aid of an alien queen.
Both are wounded and near death when they are blended into a completely new creature, composed of the best parts of each. She is the Phoenix, and it is she who holds, not only the fate of her own people, but that of humanity as well, in her hand.
Will the mad thirst for vengeance consume the new queen, or will she rise to the challenge and lead her people to safety, and ours to victory, or will the treachery of human politics drive her away and seal our own fate. Time is short, for the destroyers are coming...

About the author

103Ìýbooks93ÌýfollowersOrdinary people are capable of remarkable feats given the right set of circumstances and these days, maybe more than ever, we all need more everyday heros.
The stories I love best are ones in which I could see at least a part of myself and that is actually the starting point of many of my stories. I am an observer. I love to people watch! I can’t help but notice what makes an ordinary person stand out to me and I can’t resist building stories around those unique character sketches.
The stories I least like are ones where the “hero� remains tormented and without resolution even at the end of a book. If I wanted reality, I’d have watched TV. Good fiction should entertain, and have a momentum of its own that carries rather than drags the reader along. My stories are intended to transport the reader away from the stresses of their day-to-day lives, and to sweep them up into a different world where people much like themselves overcome challenges and have remarkable adventures.
My goal is to write stories that inspire people to be their own everyday hero; to imagine new possibilities for themselves and perhaps change the course of their own story. I invite you to join me on the adventure.
