Queen of Denial

Selina Rosen

Reality bites, though, and her friend's advice to "stop living in the past" is easier said than done since Terry's present mostly sucks on ice.But Terry's life takes a radical turn when an old friend from the past offers her an opportunity to live out her dream - and a remarkable new costume."In Reruns Selina Rosen introduces us to a world where one woman and her convictions, along with a bit of help from some friends, do make a difference. We've all wanted to be, or even pretended to be, a superhero sometime in our life. Terry was lucky enough to play one on television, Dark Avenger, for seven seasons. Years after the series was cancelled someone approached her to actually become what she portrayed on TV and Vigilance was born...

In Reruns we find out what it is like to be a true superhero in a world that'slosing faith, without ever having to actually risk our own necks " -Stephen Pagel, co-editor of the multiple award-winning anthology series; Bending the Landscape

Hammer Town

Selina Rosen
Conner, "The Hammer," McVee has a score to settle and enough spare parts in her body to build a small car. Tarent Powers destroyed her life, but even her enhanced abilities and her job as a police agent couldn't get her close enough to the corporate mob boss to bring him down.Now the key to his unravelling has fallen into her lap. Can she do what's necessary to make him pay even if it means destroying the life of an innocent young woman?Come along for a ride in this future that corporate take-overs, plague and automation have made.

She's a throwback in a sterile world almost totally reliant on machines, and she's a cop with ties to the underworld seeking revenge against the man who killed her lover. But when she sets a plot for revenge in motion, it turns into something far more than she ever bargained for. With the copsand criminals both after her, she's got to fight back to protect herself, her new lover, and her way of life. That's okay, she thinks fast, acts faster, and wields a modified nail gun.

I guarantee, you won't want to put this one down." - Laura J. Underwood, author of Ard Magisterand The Black Hunter"Nobody creates tougher than nails heroines better than Selina Rosen. She's outdone even herself with Conner "The Hammer" McVee, a cyborg who is half-human, half-machine, and all woman.Hammer Town is high-octane science fiction overflowing with adventure, humor, romance and blue-collar sensibilities. Persons not enjoying this book must be diagnosed as entertainment impaired." - Garrett Peck, co-editor of Personal Demons and Tooth & Claw

Jabone's Sword

Selina Rosen
Jabone is the birth son of Tarius the Black and Arvon, but was raised by four parents. As the son of the Great Leader, he has had a sword in his hand since he was old enough to walk and has listened to his parents and their friends weave great tales of battle and conquest all his life. Across the sea in the land of the Jethrik, the Amalite populations of entire villages are disappearing. A secret group of Amalites are suspected, but no one knows how - or where - they take their prisoners. The Jethrikian king must deal with the problem, but his thoughts lie mostly with his daughter Kasiria. She is the only woman to apply to, and graduate from, the Sword Master's Academy since the rule forbidding women to fight was struck from the books. When Jabone and his friend - young Tarius and Ufalla, the children of Tarius's right hand man, and Jestia, the wayward magic-wielding daughter of the Queen of the Kartik - want to cross the ocean and join the Jethrikian forces to fight their parents' enemies, Tarius forbids it at first. Finally she relents and sends them with her blessings and the gift of her knowledge of the enemy. In a new land, the youths will find love and adventure, and they will learn loyalty, pain, loss, and the truth of battle.
