"This futuristic is bound to be one of the best books of the year!"

The Tseir have declared that Arnoth of Valenwood is the most dangerous person in the universe because of his pivotal role in their stunning defeat at Candor. They decide that Arnoth has to be more than just eliminated, which would make him into a martyr. He must be captured, probed for weaknesses, and immediately converted to the Tseir lifestyle.

The Tseir force Arnoth into surrendering on his home planet of Ellowan by threatening to destroy what is left of the native population. On the space ship back to the Tseir homeworld, Sierra is one of his guards. She is different than the usual clone of a perfect being that all the Tseir seem to be. Instead, she is clumsy, has a sense of humor, and is always in trouble. Not realizing that she is in disguise, Arnoth finds himself attracted to the Tseir, but Ellowans do not touch their enemies. Sierra is drawn towards her captive, but must be careful so she does not reveal her real identity until she completes her covert mission. Even with Batty the Lingbat on board to guide them, this couple has no prayer of finding a future together.

THE WHITE SUN is a great futuristic romance that has appeal to fans of both genres. The story line is action-packed yet humorous. The lead protagonists are a fabulous duo, struggling with their growing love vs. honor and duty. The spectacular Stobie Piel provides her fans with a novel that is sure to be acknowledged as one of the best books of the year. Since it is only January, writers have an extraordinarily high bar to attain to match this tale's level of excellence.

Nominated for PEARL AWARD 1999
THE WHITE SUN - Finalist: Best Futuristic

Memory & Melody

Arnoth of Valenwood was an Ellowan - a sylvan race known throughout the galaxy for their music and their sunsuality. And with his warm brown eyes and well-muscled form, Arnoth was the most sensuous of them all, although he had forced his desires to remain dormant in order to serve as a protector to his people. But as a youth, he had glimpsed a dark-haired woman from a faraway planet, a beauty who inspired harmony in the young prince's body and soul.

Sierra of Nirvahda had never known love. But with her long dark tresses and shining eyes she had inspired plenty of it, only to turn away with a tuneless heart. Yet when she found herself hiding deep within a cavern on the red planet of Tseir, her heart began to do strange things. For with her in the cave was Arnoth of Valenwood, the sound of his lyre reaching out to her through the dark and winding passageways. His song spoke to her of yearning, an ache she would come to know when he held her body close to his, with the rhythm of their hearts beating for the memory and melody of their souls.
