Publisher's summary
In the Shadows of Promise is an anthology of poetry based on my dreams. I have made love in my dreams, explored new lands, spoken foreign languages, and even experienced life through the eyes of other beings. I have been killed in battle, though I have no real life military experience. It is as if in some dreams I merge into the dreams or lives of others. Some incredibly happy, some terribly sad, some horrific. Some dreams leave me with a sense of purity and innocence.
Call of The Hawk
The climb was easy
Every hold effortless
Every step sound and sure
The mesa smooth and flawless.
I lay naked on the warm stone
The sun completes me
The desert air feeds me.
I avail myself to the galaxy
I vanish in pleasure.
I move past and within stars
Through and beyond countless planets
Colors, flashes of light, aromas, flavors
All in an instant.
I silently and harmlessly pass
Through rock and ice
Oceans and time
Forests and creatures.
I hear only pure sounds
The orchestra of the heavens perhaps
A Mezzo Forte of perfect voices
From baritone to soprano
All in exquisite unity.
A continuous and consistent pleasure.
The call of the hawk wakes me.
This anthology is divided in 6 chapters.
Bealtitudo (bliss)
Cordolium (heartache)
Amor Novus (new love)
Anguista (anguish)
Meliora (for the pursuit of something better)
Cogitato (Meditations and reflections)
I hope to see you in my dream.

Story
Maya Angelou’s unforgettable collection of poetry lends its name to the documentary film about her life, And Still I Rise, as seen on PBS’s American Masters. “It is true poetry she is writing,” M. F.K . Fisher has observed, “not just rhythm, the beat, rhymes. I find it very moving and at times beautiful. It has an innate purity about it, unquenchable dignity.... It is astounding, flabbergasting, to recognize it, in all the words I read every day and night...it gives me heart, to hear so clearly the caged bird singing and to understand her notes.”

Story
Ariadne, Princess of Crete, grows up greeting the dawn from her beautiful dancing floor and listening to her nursemaid’s stories of gods and heroes. But beneath her golden palace echo the ever-present hoofbeats of her brother, the Minotaur, a monster who demands blood sacrifice. When Theseus, Prince of Athens, arrives to vanquish the beast, Ariadne sees in his green eyes not a threat but an escape. Defying the gods, betraying her family and country, and risking everything for love, Ariadne helps Theseus kill the Minotaur.

When a star dies, a new one must be born. The Sun God chooses the village of Endwever to provide a mortal womb. The birthing of a star is always fatal for the mother, and Ceris Wenden, who considers herself an outsider, sacrifices herself to secure her family’s honor and take control of her legacy. But after her star child is born, Ceris does what no other star mother has: she survives. When Ceris returns to Endwever, however, it’s not nine months later—it’s seven hundred years later.

Story
Johnnie Rico never really intended to join up—and definitely not the infantry. But now that he’s in the thick of it, trying to get through combat training harder than anything he could have imagined, he knows everyone in his unit is one bad move away from buying the farm in the interstellar war the Terran Federation is waging against the Arachnids. Because everyone in the Mobile Infantry fights. And if the training doesn’t kill you, the Bugs are more than ready to finish the job.
