Winds of Gaia Book 2
New Book by Lena White and Badger Therese
As is my practice I'll copy my Amazon review here:
Note: Skip this review if you haven't read the first book yet. IOW - Spoilers.
Okay, in the previous book (Note: This series is more of a sequence of installments, like magazines used to publish, than a series of freestanding books. It's an interesting approach. I think I'll start doing that myself.)
Anyway, In the previous book, we meet Sean Devlin, a son of a Lord, but not the heir to the title. And Evelyn Cavendish, who is the slave of the inventor, Bertram Cavendish.
Bertram relies on Evelyn for assistance in his projects, but besides her technical talents, he also pimps her out to influential gentlemen in return for help with his patents.
It is on one of these assignations that Evelyn goes to the wrong apartment, meets Sean, and they "sleep together" and fall in love.
But Sean is on his way to Africa to make his fortune - as he must, since he won't inherit his family fortune. On his way, his ship is blown off course by the high winds (the winds of Gaia) and he ends up on a lifeboat and is saved by a far larger and more technologically advanced ship operated by the Mohican Navy.
Because, even though Devlin and Cavendish are living in the 21st century, Britain in this alternate universe, is only at late 19th-early 20th century level of technology. IOW, radio is a rather new technology. And nobody has ever crossed the Atlantic and made it back.
Sean, is captured by the technically advanced Gaian culture (we'd call it native American.) Unlike the American Indians in our world, the Gaians have at least a mid-20th century level of technology, with capable ocean going ships, automobiles, and aircraft.
But they also have a slave owning culture and Sean Devlin is stripped and made a sex slave - which seems to agree with him.
Back in England, Evelyn has hatched a plan to go find and rescue him - to be developed in a future installment.
But along come more characters - members of a religious sect known as the Brewerites - after a man named Brewer who claimed to have crossed the Atlantic, met people fighting for Jesus and people fighting against JC. So, when a team of Brewerite missionaries, on their way to minister in Africa, are blown into the Atlantic and captured by a large ship from the other side, their expectations of what will happen to them is quite at variance with what the Gaians actually do with them.
So: Will the Brewerites, Zeke and Bethany et al be able to adapt and thrive in this bizarre culture? Will Sean Brewer find his way out of his not-all-that-unpleasant slavery? Will Evelyn be able to escape from Bertram Cavendish and set out to rescue her missing lover?
Stay tuned - buy this book and pre-order the next.

I'm getting back into the writing world again after a long illness and withdrawal. The books I've already published primarily center around a fictional Florida county, a young woman named Donna Parker
I'm getting back into the writing world again after a long illness and withdrawal. The books I've already published primarily center around a fictional Florida county, a young woman named Donna Parker, who is a major player in the law enforcement community there.
And, oh, yeah, there are also vampires and time travel. Typical rural Florida.
"The Cabin" is a YA book. The others are pretty graphic.
I've recently cranked out four new books which are more BDSM oriented. IOW, graphic WRT sex.
So, this blog is designed to update my surviving old fans and hopefully, my new ones, on my progress getting these out as e-books. So, stay tuned. ...more
