What's this?
Life is about moments; you have to be ready to take advantage of them when they arrive. Irina, codename River, knows this all too well when she steals information on a project that has the potential to change the galaxy itself.
Emperor Ki’eston, young and eager to leave his mark on imperial history is forced to react to this security breach inside the empire’s most carefully guarded research center that holds the secret to their power. Meanwhile, Representative Al’nortan, newest member of the emperor’s inner circle, attempts to navigate public opinion, imperial politics and prejudices as the empire reels from the crisis of the stolen information.
President Revon Pierce, elected leader of the United Interplanetary Alliance, must weigh the consequences of revealing their smaller civilization to two galactic powers in order to retrieve this valuable stolen information based on the advice of an intelligence director he doesn’t fully trust.
Born and raised in Las Vegas, I graduated from the University of Nevada, Reno with a Master of Arts with a major in History. My undergraduate research focused on the changes and evolution of family dynamics and relationships within modern Chinese society. While my master’s thesis looked at the development of mental health care within China.
Although my first job was spent dealing with and talking to long haul truck drivers in the United States, most of my professional career has been spent living and working in China. Teaching courses from oral English to introduction to the American legal system.
