A lost colony world is reunited with Earth after four centuries apart. Their coming together should be a joyous occasion - but nothing about this reunion is as it seems. Captain Charles Jonson, head of the mission from Earth, takes on the acting role of his life. Simply surviving on the planet is difficult enough but manipulating and deceiving the beautiful woman who leads the colony, Councilor Nydra, is by far the greatest challenge he has ever faced. As Charles and Nydra spar with misleading words and hidden weapons, Daniela, a young woman in a distant settlement defies the iron-clad rules laid down for the colony's survival and leaves the safety of her home to join the boys in their rite-of-passage, the First Journey. They are all players in a game where the rules are secret and the rewards hidden... but the risks are very real.

This collection of three original screenplays lives and breathes New York City and is decidedly big on family, hence NYC3 KIN. These spec scripts have been invaluable to me. They got me topnotch literary agents; they were nearly bought several times, they led to script-doctoring talks with high-powered Hollywood producers, garnered semifinals and finals places in screenwriting competitions and served as the perfect calling cards that landed me commissioned gigs.*Specs are 'speculative scripts', screenplays written not on commission. Specs are labors of love, passion projects, screenplays writers craft to make an impression, get through a door, attract an agent, generate interest. Specs, most often, don't sell. They serve their purpose, as they have for me, and then end up on a shelf collecting dust. Traditionally, spec scripts never see the light of day. The three screenplays contained in NYC3 KIN have been on my shelf for twenty-five years. I'm now publishing them, because these characters deserve the opportunity to come alive - if not on screen, then in readers' minds. *BREAKFAST IN ATLANTIS: When a mysterious stranger returns to his home in Coney Island after many years, he unintentionally erodes the friendship of two orphaned street kids. The two boys are swept into a magical tale of good and evil, their friendship fading fast, as the stranger tries to fulfill an ancient promise.*OUT THERE: In this Christmas thriller, set in the world of New York City's fifty thousand homeless, a man named Nomad witnesses the brutal murder of an undercover cop. He disappears into the city's underworld and finds refuge with a mysteriously mystical bunch of misfits. With no trace of the witness, NYPD cop Scott Shaw goes undercover into the world of the homeless and, in a race against time and a ruthless killer, discovers the one thing he's never had ... family.*BOXMAN JAKE: 1958, New York City - Jake Rose, the finest safe cracker in the "industry", decides to call it quits for the sake of his family. Then his father is found dead under mysterious circumstances, his hothead young brother-in-law turns to crime, and two aging master thieves do everything in their power to get Jake to join in on the greatest heist ever ... one last job.

The perils of power... Keira Kelly has come into her full powers, and they are frighteningly strong, creating a distance between her and her human friends in her beloved Rio Seco. It is time to obey her great-great-grandmother Gigi's orders and rejoin her family in northwest Canada, where Keira can learn to handle her dangerous new skills. She'll have friends with her every step of the way -- her shapeshifter brother Tucker, his beloved Niko, and, to Keira's dismay, her cousin on her mother's side, Daffyd ap Geraint, the Sidhe prince who suddenly appeared in her life and now refuses to leave -- but her vampire lover Adam has insisted on staying in Texas. And while there are certainly perks to being Family, such as a private Learjet for the flight to Canada and a fabulous penthouse condo overlooking Vancouver, there are threats looming that nobody, not even Gigi, anticipated. Keira's Sidhe inheritance from her mother is far more important than anyone ever realized, and the fate of the Family may depend upon what she does next....

The Indigenous Canela inhabit a vibrant multispecies community of nearly 3,000 people and over 300 types of cultivated and wild plants living together in Maranhão State in the Brazilian Cerrado (savannah), a biome threatened with deforestation and climate change. In the face of these environmental threats, Canela women and men work to maintain riverbank and forest gardens and care for their growing crops, whom they consider to be, literally, children. This nurturing, loving relationship between people and plants—which offers a thought-provoking model for supporting multispecies survival and well-being throughout the world—is the focus of Plant Kin.Theresa L. Miller shows how kinship develops between Canela people and plants through intimate, multi-sensory, and embodied relationships. Using an approach she calls “sensory ethnobotany,” Miller explores the Canela bio-sociocultural life-world, including Canela landscape aesthetics, ethnobotanical classification, mythical storytelling, historical and modern-day gardening practices, transmission of ecological knowledge through an education of affection for plant kin, shamanic engagements with plant friends and lovers, and myriad other human-nonhuman experiences. This multispecies ethnography reveals the transformations of Canela human-environment and human-plant engagements over the past two centuries and envisions possible futures for this Indigenous multispecies community as it reckons with the rapid environmental and climatic changes facing the Brazilian Cerrado as the Anthropocene epoch unfolds.
