      Athalinda Ward is 24. She's sexy, talented and heavily into guys, but doesn’t fit in her small hometown in the Poconos. She's different and knows it. The people she feels most comfortable with are Nufreaks - a group of Cybrids created by the Trinity blast. Things pick up when ex-lover Frank, a hulking, wolfish Cybrid asks for her help to bring down the Nubrosia drug racket. However, the veil shrouding her past really begins to tear when the Semeys, a band of 18th century Cossacks brought back to life by the atomic blasts in Kazakhstan, reach out to her. These warriors have turned businessmen and come to America as the Land of Opportunity. Little does she know, when she loses herself in the icy gaze of their tall, blond leader that she is staring at her fate, a fate that will take her half across the world to the forbidding mountains of Russia and China to uncover the mystery of her birth.

      As the dragon-child, Athalinda will need to draw heavily on her innermost resources to take on the powerful enemies coveting the dragon’s Pearl and the powers it confers. The question is – how to distinguish friend from foe ? Perils are rife for those who toil up the wild slopes of the Tien Shan mountain range on the quest for the dragon’s Pearl. When the little party finally reach their destination, there is little cause for hubris as their expedition raises more questions than it answers. Doubts about Ivan keep torturing Athalinda on the journey home. When she meets the enigmatic Evgueni, a smooth operator materializing out of Ivan’s long-lost past, her hard-earned certainties begin to crumble before the rug is pulled right from under her feet. She needs to recoup and fast - Now, more than ever before, she must trust her judgment and make the right decisions. Fortunately, she is not alone; Anghel, Evgueni’s saturnine dogsbody, has taken a liking to her and makes no bones about it...

    I was born in the States, the outcome of an Oklahoma - Pennsylvania love story, but bred in Europe. My taste for stories started a long time ago with Mom reading to us every evening for hours and giving us free access to the stash of Classics Illustrated a mile high she had thrown into the great ocean liner trunks along with other artefacts, such as vegetable peelers and pie tins, when she decided to cross the seas with her brood. As we grew in years, we graduated from Uncle Wiggly, Uncle Remus and Pogo to the great epics and then on to the world's classics. I still remember my brother's laughter when we got to The Pickwick Papers and must confess I fell asleep during most of The Brothers Karamazov, but was totally enthralled by War and Peace. I sometimes try to draw up a list of my most loved books, something like a top ten. It would read - today - like this : Lolita by V. Nabokov War With The Newts by K. Capek God's Grace by B. Malamud Anna Karenin by L. Tolstoy La Soif et Autres Nouvelles by Ivo Andritch Ferdydurke by W. Gombrowicz The Barsoom Novels by Edgar Rice Burroughs The Things They Carried by T. O'Brien Le Testament Français by Andreï Makine A Good Man is Hard to find and Other Stories by F. O'Connor Us by E. Zamiatine Frankenstein by Mary Shelley Of course, it's easy to remember the works that have marked generations. However, we don't only feed on 'literature' - there are myriads of other books out there of a less lofty nature that we have read and thoroughly enjoyed, but whose titles or authors have faded from our memory. So, the big blank space in the middle of the list is for all those writers whose work has given me countless hours of excitement and pleasure - writers of genre fiction. One day, however, the unthinkable happens - you reach for a book and after a few pages, you let if fall back down. It's not what you wanted - the shoe doesn't fit - so you pick up another and it happens again... Then there's only one thing left to do - sit down at your computer and start writing...
