Here’s the set-up:
The universe’s expansion is nearing its inevitable end and everything is being devoured by entropy. The key to having a future is a missing energy source, a legendary metaphysical being known only through ancient tales. The last hope of a dying universe is to awaken this dormant Seeker who possesses the capacity to link the entire universe in thought and deed. He alone may be able to rekindle the sparks of a new universal cycle.
The remaining advanced species desperately want existence to continue, and send for missions to search for the Seeker. One such mission unexpectedly and inexplicably materializes on a primitive world that is inhabited by the Labateen, a Stone-Age warrior culture. Here they encounter Kara, an outcast Labateen noble woman and fierce warrior. Kara knows details about the Seeker’s litany that go well beyond coincidence, although to Kara they are simply the ways of God.
Is Kara the key to locating the long lost Seeker? And what of the races who believe that existence should end in an entropic whimper and who will not sit by while others attempt to alter the end of the universe. Lofty ideals give way to brutal pragmatism as a confederation of races struggles to survive and save existence.
Child of Destiny is Book 1 of The Genesis Continuum trilogy. Book 2, Pursing a Legend is available now on Kindle. Book 3, Forging a Future, will be available in early 2012.

Here’s the set-up:
BETRAYING MIKKI. A fabulous mixture of Texas humor, heart-pounding action, sexy nuances and mounting suspense. There’s plenty of excitement, plenty of intrigue, a local flavor to tickle the toughest of taste buds and a good serving of hot, steamy romance to titillate the senses. The second of Jude’s Indian Creek, Texas mysteries reads like a locomotive with non-stop action from beginning to end.
When Stella’s niece Mikki calls with news that she is expecting a baby by a married man who Stella considers a self-centered jerk things seemed bad enough. But when the “jerk” turns up dead after denying any responsibility for the baby and insisting that Mikki get an abortion, things get worse in a hurry.
Stella turns to Kelly McWinter to set things right but he soon discovers a tangled web of secrets and lies that threaten a young woman’s freedom and put friendships to the test. Betraying Mikki is a riveting tale of greed, deception and murder served up with a generous helping of hot, steamy romance
Betraying Mikki is a totally engrossing, can’t-put-it down story that draws you in and won’t let you go. A bit of romance and love also creeps into the riveting storyline, giving it a wholesome feel. Ms. Atkins ties up all the loose ends quite neatly and ends the novel on solid footing. She leaves the reader anticipating more in the Texas series. All in all, an excellent read!
