Christine W. Murphy
Science Fiction, Mystery and Romance
and
March 2000 Featured Author at the Amazing Authors Showcase
More than once when she was a little girl, Christine W. Murphy came to the conclusion she'd been dropped by an alien space craft and left to grow up in a small town in Minnesota. When would they notice she was missing and come back for her, she wanted to know. After graduating from Concordia College, only 20 miles away, she decided drastic action was called for and she joined the Navy to look for them. The Navy, in their infinite wisdom, sent her to Iceland, one of the few places in this world with more Lutherans per square foot than Minnesota. After serving in Florida, Iceland, and Virginia, she realized no one was coming for her and she decided to settle for domestic bliss.
Christine lives in New England with her husband, three exceptional children, and one crazy, red Abyssinian cat. Freelance technical writing and typesetting jobs constantly interfere with her creation of worlds where she feels more at home. For the Emperor is her first published book.
She recently submitted a prequel to For the Emperor, Cast in Iron, Carved in Stone, to HSWF (www.hardshell.com) for their consideration. Iron/Stone is also a science fiction romance. Her science fiction novel, Highlord of Darkness, will be coming out from HSWF this summer. Highlord takes place in the same worlds as the other two books, but is not a romance.
Christine also has a short science fiction romance story coming out. What will Santa be doing in 5000 years? He's buff, but his memory is shot, and he's looking for a new Mrs. Santa to help fill the stockings. Watch for Home for the Holidays at Stardates (www.dreams-unlimited.com)
A member of Romance Writers of America, Christine belongs to the Futuristic, Fantasy & Paranormal Special Interest Chapter and Outreach International, where she has been chapter newsletter editor for three years. You can contact Christine at LSComp@aol.com.

Cover art by Dirk Wolf
Jameelah was always prepared to die for her cause. Now, unless her plan to gain the attention of the Triden Emperor succeeds, she may have to kill for it as well. But peace has one last chance. She plants a smoke bomb at the royal wedding reception. After the explosion, Jameelah is betrayed by one of her own, and finds herself stranded in a runaway escape pod. She is not alone. One of the party goers lies bruised and bloodied at her feet.
Jameelah knows Alec is a Triden officer, ruthless minion to an evil Emperor. Alec knows Jameelah is an Imsada terrorist, a threat to everything he loves. But Jameelah isn't just any terrorist—she is the one person her people will follow on their road to peace. And Alec isn't just any Triden lieutenant—he is the Emperor's only brother and heir to the throne.
Jameelah's image of Alec shatters when he uses his special talents to help her people, but she sees no future for Alec and herself—he cannot understand the Imsada and she cannot abandon them. One look in those liquid brown eyes, and Alec realizes he must change the galaxy to make things right between them.
When the war swirls to a close around them, a happy ending ceases to be an option. To save Jameelah's life Alex must brand himself a traitor and send the woman he loves out of his life forever.

Twenty-five years ago, Doctor Alex Casale made a mistake that almost cost him his life. He was twelve-years-old then. His only option--run. Now, with the memory of that fateful night permanently erased from his mind, he returns home determined to prove he was right. Making the same mistake twice could prove fatal.
Common sense says Skye should move on when Iowa Glass starts to lay off workers, but childhood fears trap her in a town that's apparently dying. When she goes to work for the new owner of Iowa Glass, Skye must choose between the only place where she feels safe and the very dangerous man she is growing to love.
Now, with Skye's help, Alex must rediscover what he learned when he was twelve. If he can't stop blaming his stepfather for his mother's death and find the real killer, a madman will kill and get away with murder again.

Back Cover of At Your Command
Is Maggie Yates suffering from a complete nervous breakdown or is a naked jinn offering to grant her three wishes? The only alternative she's willing to consider is she has a nut case in her bedroom. In either case, it's time to panic!
Tom has had more names than he can remember and several masters he'd like to forget. The only thing he hates more than granting wishes is returning to the obis to wait for another fool to call him. When he meets his latest master, however, he discovers wishes have their charms, but he can only grant three before his curse separates them forever.
Can Tom trick Maggie into forgoing her third wish until she's an old woman? Or maybe, just maybe, has he found the one person who loves him enough to risk setting him free.
