A volume in the Earthbound Series Nykkyo Kyhana is an ordinary guy: He has a boss, a job that's a grind, a wife who doesn't understand him and a high-maintenance girlfriend on the side. He just happens to hail from another planet -- one 200 lightyears from Earth and with a history that's inextricably entwined with Earth's future. He is sent to Earth to gather plants for his homeworld's agriculture. That mission becomes far from mundane when he meets a woman and realizes his civilization's survival may hinge on her fate.
In the aftermath of a tornado, a young girl and an older woman find love and affection amidst the chaos. Another of my improbable but possible love stories....see my blog for more details.
This is a story of love, and just a few of its countless complexities. And, it's an homage to Chandra. I recently posted it with the title, I Loved the Black Rose, using the names Gisele and Kat for the main characters. In truth, I wrote the story about Chandra and me. I used the other names for my own reasons. I know Chandra always wanted it posted with our real names, and I've reached a place where I can post it that way. This story is my own fantasy, but the feelings are real.
