In this future-based magical realism series, the technological and information ages are distant memories. Global capitalism has been replaced by localised, community-centered social structures and sustainable ways of life. The multiple intelligences identified centa-orbits earlier by Howard Gardner have evolved into a range of Talents, latent in some and powerfully present in others. Amongst the Clans, Talent is used to serve, not conquer. But beneath the harmonious surface, the darker side of human nature lingers. Can good continue to win, or will evil resurface and descend mankind back into the dark rises of empire-hungry dictatorship? Across the deca-orbits, three generations of Talented women shape destiny.

Prime – Book 2 (coming soon)
Is the drive to be the best leader in service of your community dedication, or ambition? Is there a difference?
Amelika and her friends have chosen very different paths, but their lives continue to intertwine.
Intelligences have evolved, but will people ever change?
Amelika, Terra’s Prime Multipath Talent, is ageing. After a lifetime of unparalleled achievements, she should be enjoying a satisfied retirement. To do so, she must nominate a successor. Supervisor Maclaren, her lifelong nemesis, believes the role is rightfully his, but she knows he would only abuse the position of power. The ache of every bone in her body tells her time is running out to find someone more worthy.
Laelika doesn’t fit in. She avoids everyone, but trouble still finds her. The other chargelings at the Orphanage treat her as an outcast. With no sign of any Talent, it seems unlikely that she will ever find a place among the Clans. Something is consuming her; something she refuses to remember or acknowledge. On the surface, it would appear the two have nothing in common. Yet there is a force which binds their fates together; both are damaged and without each other, neither will survive.
Will Amelika’s Talent be enough to save them both?
Mempath – Talents of Terra Book 4
The greatest of gifts sometimes come at a high price. The hardest lessons sometimes bring the greatest rewards.
A powerful new Talent has been discovered in Laelika; one which has the potential to change the future in unimagined ways. But at what cost? As her powers quickly extend beyond even those of her Mentor, she discovers the wisdom of ages she has inherited with her Mempath Talent. But for Laelika, learning to navigate a new world full of emotions, especially those she discovers for Jonen, is the hardest lesson of all.
Amelika has her own plans for Laelika. She has waited a lifetime to find a Talent this strong; a Talent worthy of inheriting her role as Prime. She has no intention of allowing her Apprentice’s youthful infatuation to jeopardise that future; a future which requires complete dedication to service. For the woman who has moulded the direction of the Clans for generations, understanding that the future is not always hers to command is perhaps an even harder lesson still.
After her orbits of being ostracised by others, will Laelika find acceptance at last? What future will she choose; to follow her Mentor’s desires, or her own?
