High school graduation was never so dangerous as it turns out to be for Emily Kane. Defending herself against foreign agents is one thing, but when the threat comes from within Emily's own family the violence rises to a new level, and the need to reconcile herself with her inner demons has never been so urgent.

With the help of her "Granny," Emily Kane had the strength to fight off the black-ops teams hunting her. Now she needs to find some relief from Granny, and to reconcile herself to the violence she had to unleash. She hopes to find spiritual renewal in the crowded pantheon of the Hindus and Buddhists of Nepal. But the spirit of violence is not far behind her. A Short Story

Emily Kane goes to the US Naval Academy, where she makes new friends... and new enemies. A foreign power wants to extradite her on a murky charge involving an incident in Nepal two years ago, and the Diplomatic Security Service and NCIS are investigating her to find out why. Concentrating on her studies at the Naval Academy is harder than ever, and Emily begins to fear for her friends' safety... moreEmily Kane goes to the US Naval Academy, where she makes new friends... and new enemies. A foreign power wants to extradite her on a murky charge involving an incident in Nepal two years ago, and the Diplomatic Security Service and NCIS are investigating her to find out why. Concentrating on her studies at the Naval Academy is harder than ever, and Emily begins to fear for her friends' safety. And when a mysterious stranger begins to follow her, and she receives an invitation from the Crown Princess of Japan to meet with her at the Japanese Embassy, the meaning of events does not promise to get any clearer. Follow along as Emily tries to sort it all out, keep her friends safe, and do what she can for the Crown Princess, and her daughter, Princess Toshi. "Sticky and beginning to congeal, she felt it on her hands and face too, her blood and his, and the sickening realization that she’d killed again, that another voice had been absorbed into the silence in her heart, along with all those men on the bridge, and the gangsters in that courtyard in Kathmandu, the North Koreans in Kamchatka, and in the deepest recess, her uncle David. They were wrong, unjust, cruel, bent on killing her and anyone she loved. No matter how many people told her she’d had no choice, that sentiment, couched in the terms of mere morality, did nothing to alleviate the crushing stillness of her thoughts, as if she’d become a living mausoleum for all those spirits." less

Emily Kane finds something profound in the South China Sea… and something dangerous finds her. A joint naval operation brings together Japanese, Chinese, Philippine and American forces, and every side has a hidden agenda. But at least one of them has targeted the daughter of the Japanese Crown Princess, and Emily may not be able to help her without making the ultimate sacrifice.

A plum assignment to the Defense Attaché's office at the US Embassy in Beijing ought to signal the beginning of easier times for Emily Kane. Tensions within China after a failed coup attempt seem to have subsided, even though the quickest path to advancement is to denounce someone else. When an acquaintance in the Chinese intelligence service asks a favor, to reunite him with a niece whose very existence poses risks he cannot afford, both their lives are on the line... moreA plum assignment to the Defense Attaché's office at the US Embassy in Beijing ought to signal the beginning of easier times for Emily Kane. Tensions within China after a failed coup attempt seem to have subsided, even though the quickest path to advancement is to denounce someone else. When an acquaintance in the Chinese intelligence service asks a favor, to reunite him with a niece whose very existence poses risks he cannot afford, both their lives are on the line. If Emily is caught with the niece, her friend will appear to be a traitor, and she'll be branded a spy, and the operatives pursuing her will not hesitate to kill anyone in their way. Of course, it doesn't help that a wealthy Chinese playboy has become infatuated with Emily, and she seems to like it, but the paparazzi who follow them everywhere threaten to expose another side of her life to friends and enemies alike. less
