The Elemental Odyssey
Book One of the Tales of Zura

Young adult adventure novel

There are many fun and exciting things to do in South Dakota: explore the caves, see the monuments, hike the mountains, watch the wildlife. But what’s not on the travel brochures is getting abducted by magical aliens!

While vacationing at Mt. Rushmore, twelve-year-old Kyle Morgan and his new friends, Jürgen Schmidt, Susie Five Eagles, and Veeksha Das, are hauled on board a strange alien ship and forced to help the animal-like Zurans!

Whisked around the world on a perilous quest, the children solve riddles to find mystical elements for their fierce captors. Scheming against the aliens, powerful elementals, the military, and even each other, the kids must escape before the Zurans can complete their mysterious mission.

Where Magic Reigns
Book Two of the Tales of Zura

Young adult adventure novel

After their harrowing adventures in The Elemental Odyssey, four twelve-year-olds find themselves on a strange alien world. No grown-ups, no park rangers, no policemen, no soldiers. They are utterly alone and at the mercy of the furious perils that teem in the jungles of Zura.

As they flee across soaring islands in the sky, Kyle Morgan, Jürgen Schmidt, Susie Five Eagles, and Veeksha Das meet several different kinds of Zurans. But these aren’t the familiar and furry creatures that invaded Earth. These are scaly reptiles, small and large, but all hungry.

Unfortunately for the kids, on Zura humans are made out of food.
