Ten Novel Series

The Courtesan Prince - The status quo is shaken up when egalitarian Rire discovers the Sevolite Empire and exposes all to irrefutable proof that a commoner sword dancer is actually racist Sevildom's long lost crown prince, Amel.

  3. Pretenders - In the wake of tragic set backs, progressive leaders find the strength, through friendships, to establish a new order at court, negotiated by the apparently powerless Amel. One of them is the legendary Ameron, returned from time slip.  (Published 2008)
  4. Throne Price - Erien's returns to his homeworld to champion his Reetion foster father, and causes the collapse of the uneasy truce among Sevildom's leadership in a series of shocks that end in sordid horror for some but overall affirms the power of Okal Rel to keep the peace for all.  (Published 2003)

  6. Avim's Oath - Rejected by Erien, and challenged by Perry to realize the dream of making the Blue Demish a court power, Amel competes with Luthan to win Demora in a bizarre competition to identify which of them is ‘nicer’.  Luthan struggles with her love of Erien and Vretla just wants to get pregnant by either Pureblood.  When Amel’s new body guard, Alivda, chucks Vretla out of Amel’s bedroom, she joins Erien on a mission to rescue his young nephew, Leksan, who is kidnapped by a rival clan.  Amel and Erien struggle to cooperate for the greater good while competing for love and for oaths.  (Published 2010)
  7. Healer's Sword - Amel must appease the League of Demish Women for the Betterment of Men, aided by Princess Samanda O'Pearl.   Although Amel is making progress with becoming respectable, Midlord liege Ilse Marin, from a family long loyal to Ev’rel, is reluctant to swear to him.  Instead, she gets involved with Erien's Academy of Science for Sevolites where she meets Horth Nersal.  Erien’s work and Horth’s literal mindedness, get Horth and Ilse into big trouble with the Lion Reach Demish on a mission to bring staff for the Reetion Embassy to Gelion. Everything comes to a head at the first Cultural Exchange with the Reetions, on Barmi II.  (Published 2012)

Gathering Storm - Amel's "Cinderella Ball" at which he must pick a bride, Sevolite prejudice against Reetion acceptance of homosexuals, and a persecuted order of peace-loving Nesaks stir the pot at Erien's first cultural exchange. Amel will be married before the exchange is done, Eler will be out of the closet as a playwrite, and the next war with the Nesaks will break out. Ilse Marin's attempt to flee her troubles only brings Horth Nersal calling, ending her attempt to deny her feelings and pitching her into even deeper trouble with her own kind. (ETA Fall 2012)

An injured Amel is treated by the strange Lorel doctor, Quinn, who came to find learn about the people of his clone-father, Di Mon.

Amel and Horth strike a strange bargain to save Ilse from impeachment over her bastard child, and save SanHome pacifists.(Being edited)
  10. Unholy Science - Power exerted through bioscience was the greatest evil known to Okal Rel for a thousand years. Now medicine is honorable once more. But just when a war weary Sevildom least expects it, the past lashes out from the Reach of Luverthan. Can the tired and disillusioned leaders of change keep their heads? Or will history revert to a cycle of abuse punished by righteous anger, once again.
