When Olivias daughter Lilly and older sister Kathleen take an equestrian holiday on the western coast of Ireland, they fulfill Olivias request for a tiny box of Irish earth for her garden in exchange for a lock of her hair. While the request seems harmless enough, the trade is made unwittingly at the grave site of a legendary warrior, setting off a chain of events that catapult Olivia back in time two thousand years to Eriu (ancient Ireland) where she lands in the arms of none other than the noble Air-echta (Kings champion) Lord Samus Kildare of Munster. Mockingbird Moon is a fun, fast paced historical romance that romps its way through perils of high adventure, fierce clan loyalties, court intrigues and bitter territorial grievances. Pagan Ireland is splashed across a cultural landscape of prehistory, legend and the Brehen laws of mystical Eriu.

An ancient prophecy made by Nubian Queen Hatshepsut, takes generations to fulfill and in the process we follow events through time, space, and disappearances, finally converging in the 21st century where the prophecy continues fulfilling itself. Oba, an African male-child from the Buganda tribe, was destined to join with Iloree, a female-child from the Yoruba tribe. Their joining was prophesized generations before by the once powerful Nubian Pharaoh of Egypt. But something unholy befalls them before their sacred joining can take place, prompting vengeful curses to be placed on all involved. Joshua Lobett, a young man distraught over the death of his beloved mother, vows to change the laws of life and death. During the course of his medical studies and experiments, his life spirals into a world of derangement and he creates a hideous inhuman life form. MANAWYDAN was a specially designed clipper ship for crossing the Middle Passage with its belly full of Black Gold. While on her maiden voyage, MANAWYDAN experienced mutiny, revolt, and a horrific supernatural storm. Then it suddenly vanished dead center of The Devils Triangle, only to reappear generations later in the 21st Century. Greedily turned into a tourist attraction, the netherworld vessel MANAWYDAN had its own demonic agenda, ruthlessly awaiting the innocent, unsuspecting partiers who board in celebration of her Grand Opening during the Queens Ball on Halloween night in San Francisco.

Dreaming and waking dance together and fly apart in our lives. Where memory of a childhood summer day converges with last night's mysterious dream. When the exuberance of a song transcends corporate banality. But the walking dreams and dreaming life leave us half-awake, searching for something as we crash into the 21st century. Where does this life that began in the 70s and snowballed into the future leave our hearts and souls? What are the phantoms of our collective dreams and deepest imaginings? Daykeepers spins poetry and prose glimpses into the beautiful, bitter, mysterious, and funny sojourns of a lifetime of days too short and nights too brief.

In 1969--the counter-cultural moment when Easy Rider triggered a "youthquake" in audience interests--Westerns proved more dominant than ever at the box office and at the Oscars. It was a year of masterpieces--The Wild Bunch, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Once Upon a Time in the West and True Grit. Robert Redford achieved star status. Old-timers like John Wayne, Gregory Peck and Robert Mitchum appeared in two Westerns apiece. Raquel Welch took on the mantle of Queen of the West. Clint Eastwood and Lee Marvin tried their hand at a musical (Paint Your Wagon). New directors like George Roy Hill reinvigorated the genre while veteran Sam Peckinpah at last found popular approval. Themes included women's rights, social anxieties about violence and changing attitudes of and towards African-Americans and Native Americans. All of the 40-plus Westerns released in the U.S. in 1969 are covered in depth, offering a new perspective on the genre.
