And a madman is kidnapping the wealthy. Just when it seems nothing else could possibly go wrong, Michael returns-but not for her. This time, however, Nikki has no intention of running from either the case or from what still lies between her and Michael. And she isn't going to let him run, either.

But when a kidnapper steps up his agenda to murder, he's forced into a partnership with Nikki to keep her safe. Soon Michael discovers the biggest danger he faces may not be from his need to "taste" her, but from his desire to make her a permanent part of his life-a life that is sure to get her killed. Nikki is determined to make Michael see that life apart is worse than death. But before she can make him see the light, a specter from Michael's past rises that could destroy any hope she has of a future with him. Because this time the threat isn't physical. It's a matter of the heart. Nikki must compete with the woman-the vampire-for whom Michael gave up life.

A soulful journey through India, a detour into amnesia, a plunge into adventure as humor lights the way to liberation. A book for awakening Minds who know that spiritual truth lies within—and that it takes a bit of laughter, plus facing the muck at times, to get there. Fiction based in fact, the sacred tinged with sacrilege, and an entertaining boost for those on their path to freedom."The Now or Never" is much like the fabled elephant probed by five blind sages who each perceive it in a different manner. For some readers, the book will be an entertaining adventure populated by colorful characters, with India’s rich heritage and natural beauty providing an attractive backdrop to tale unfolding. Others, while reading, will glimpse the light and shadow in a psyche truthfully exposed through a man’s twisting spiritual path, juxtaposed against a fictional tale in which characters spring from his scattered mind to frolic in both conflict and harmony. Many readers who are tired of dry, spiritually-correct writings, may be refreshed by the abundant humor and gentle sacrilege that are used to delve into spiritual insight as well as to enhance the story line laced with intrigue, manipulation, kindness, murder, and perhaps, redemption.The plot centers around a man who awakens each morning with a fresh case of amnesia, a predicament soothed only slightly by lush garden setting and the rumbling Ganges River outside his isolated ashram hut. He does his best to slowly piece together has past and present, while his future attracts a cast of characters eager to take advantage of his mental handicap. Shri Shri Cy Bubba, a guru of questionable repute who caters to ‘the serious seeker or the gullible wealthy’, is the primary bump in our forgetful protagonist’s road. But getting shaken up by a trickster like Cy Bubba has it’s spiritual advantages, as does running into Alberta who thinks it a hoot to provide a series of…'innovative', shall we say, wake-up calls to a confused and pliable man with no memory. Also, the protagonist periodically discovers pieces of his spiritual autobiography dropped along the path that were written just prior to his plunge into amnesia. They tell the true story of a man having lost his comfortable life, as a respectable engineer and lawyer, to a mind-bending spiritual awakening in the 1990’s filled with inter-dimensional spirit guides, psychic encounters, and reality shifts that sent him spinning off into the fast lane of spiritual highs and shadowy lows.As the book draws to a close with fiction and fact intertwining to weave a fitting climax to the story, the protagonist/author realizes that he has actually been caught in a deeper, lifelong cycle of forgetfulness than the one recounted in the novel.This amnesia of the soul sends the author off on a true-life search for his higher mind and to recollect why our spirits fell into human embodiment in a convoluted earth world. Three subsequent books in "The Nyxall Chronicles" follow this journey through soulful loss and exquisite discovery that climax in 2015 in the Peruvian Andes. The Chronicles may be read and enjoyed in any order since each contains a unique storyline, message, and resolution.

Aquari the immortal cosmic being becomes involved with galactic beings that send him to the planet Tze-Doldus-2 in order to find out what happened to the legendary Star-Door that once existed there. The Star-Door was a masterpiece of galactic architecture that united the 2nd Age galactic civilization with 15 Star-Door wormhole generators, as well as many other wonders.Aquari is a cosmic photonic being from a time in the first age of the galaxy when this galaxy was a quasar. Aquari is possibly almost as old as the galaxy itself, and at over 700 times the speed of light Aquari is also the fastest thing ever known to exist. Throughout the ages of this galaxy called Magphoreus, Aquari has become acquainted with uncountable numbers of terrestrial beings that live on planets, and also galactic beings who have evolved beyond the confines of a planet. Aquari's explorations bring him to the company of some nomadic galactic beings known as Eagolim who are descendants of the ancient Nephapricans. The Eagolim send Aquari across half the galaxy to the galactic core to meet other descendants of Nephapricans called the Eigalli. The Eigalli tell Aquari they have found the legendary lost Star-Door star called Tze-Doldus, and that the Star-Door planet Tze-Doldus-2 still exists. Tze-Doldus was one of the 15 legendary stars that made up the core of the 2nd Age galactic civilization known as Nephapricus. Nephapricus fell along with the 2nd Age of Magphoreus. The Nephapricans were talented galactic architects who created many technological wonders, as well as the 15 Star-Doors that united the 15 legendary stars of the empire with gigantic wormhole generators. Now one of the long lost stars has been found, and Aquari is the cosmic being that the Eigalli have summoned to send there. Much has changed however, in the nearly 4 billion years since the Fall of Nephapricus. Now an entirely new intelligent terrestrial life form has evolved on the Star-Door planet Tze-Doldus-2, which they call Urania. On Urania they live around the giant dome-shaped mountain oblivious to the still working wormhole generating Star-Door beneath it. The builders of these Star-Doors also didn't just disappear from the galaxy back in the 2nd Age of Magphoreus. The ancient Nephapricans are now more than mere galactic beings. Now they are immortal beings who still oversee Magphoreus, and they worry about the galactic architecture they had left behind during their careless earlier 2nd Age galactic evolution. Aquari the cosmic being is about to be involved with events that will determine the destiny of the current 3rd Age of Magphoreus. So far the current 3rd Age of Magphoreus has been a disappointing dark age fading in the shadow of the 2nd Age glory that was once called Nephapricus.
