Book excerpt: Part II of III in The Order story arc. A top-secret international military organization, known only as ROOT works from the shadows to protect the delicate balance of world peace. With eighty hidden bases and thousands of gifted agents in their employ, ROOT is an unstoppable force. Assigned to an ‘off-the-books’ mission to protect two of the General’s great-grandchildren from The Order; Wraith, Fang, and Trinity encounter nothing but problems from the start as they struggle to keep them safe while maintaining a constant level of damage control while in their presence. Mei, a sociopathic struggling actress has taken an unhealthy interest in Fang. Meanwhile, her brother, Yuu, a brilliant engineer for Tsuki Industries, finds he can’t shake the deep connection he feels to Wraith. Courtesy of their lineage, the Ishii siblings are powerfully gifted beings who have inherited the appearances of two of their ancestors – much to the ire of Alpha Team’s resident priestess and werewolf. However, the secret protection-assignment-from-hell soon becomes very personal. Purposefully violating her contract, Wraith finds that the organization known for killing gifted beings now has their sights set on her brother. To approach the General with this information could very well terminate her agent status. Can she find a way to protect Revive’s kin while saving her own? *This work contains sexually explicit scenes between consenting adults, descriptive violence, and foul language. R.O.A.L Series Synopsis Enter a world of supernatural fantasy set in a modern-day, fast-paced setting.

There are over eighty secret bases spread throughout the world and thousands of sleeper agents posing as simple civilians within 'normal' everyday societies. Upon signage with ROOT, the real-world identities of each agent are erased from society, effectively making them ghosts of people who never were, true remnants of another life. And only the most elite of agents make up departmental specialty teams units -- enter ROOT's infamous Reconnaissance Alpha Team. The Remnants Of Another Life series combines elements of Mission Impossible and X-Men with a heavy dose of smoldering romance tightly woven in-between. Missions are fast-paced, dangerous, and often violent. Agent off time is often humorous, and character reflective. Take the journey with agents Wraith and Fang as they try to navigate through their complicated relationship in a world where antagonists usually have the best intentions, and the decisions to 'harm to protect' usually come with an unsettling moral price. In the ROAL world, nothing is ever clearly black or white and like reality, peace never seems to last for very long.

Salinger, Carson McCullers, Truman Capote, Joan Didion.” —A.M. Homes I viewed the consumptive nature of love as a threat to serious women. But the wonderful man I just married believes as I do—work is paramount, absolutely no children—and now love seems to me quite marvelous. These words are spoken to a rapturous audience by Joan Ashby, a brilliant and intense literary sensation acclaimed for her explosively dark and singular stories. When Joan finds herself unexpectedly pregnant, she is stunned by Martin’s delight, his instant betrayal of their pact. She makes a fateful, selfless decision then, to embrace her unintentional family. Challenged by raising two precocious sons, it is decades before she finally completes her masterpiece novel. Poised to reclaim the spotlight, to resume the intended life she gave up for love, a betrayal of Shakespearean proportion forces her to question every choice she has made. Epic, propulsive, incredibly ambitious, and dazzlingly written, The Resurrection of Joan Ashby is a story about sacrifice and motherhood, the burdens of expectation and genius.
