The Jade Owl Legacy Series
Three novels (two more in the works):
In China they whisper about the Jade Owl and its awful power. This ancient stone, commissioned by the Empress Wu and crafted by a mineral charmer, long haunted the folk of the Middle Kingdom until it vanished into an enigma of legend and lore. Now the Jade Owl is found. It wakes to steal the day from day. Its power to enchant and distort rises again. Its horror is revealed to a band of five, who must return it to the Valley of the Dead before the laws of ch’i are set aside in favor of destruction’s dance. Five China Hands, each drawn through time’s thin fabric by the bird, discover enchantment on the secret garland. Five China Hands, and one holds the key to the world’s fate. Five China Hands. Only one Jade Owl—but it’s awake and in China they whisper again.
The Third Peregrination (now available)
In a hall of quiet relics, one awakes and calls the others. A reunion of adventurers mark them with a mission to halt an ancient process—one that will undo the world if left unchecked. The China Hands bond and raise the gifts of antiquity as they embrace the challenge and their own charted destinies. The Jade Owl has enlivened the forces that control the fabric of time. The tomb is open again and the world hinges on the secrets within and an unrecorded peregrination into the depths of time.
The Dragon's Pool
There are many things hidden beneath the earth—things best left undisturbed, but once touched , an avalanche is unleashed. The China Hands assemble for their last and greatest challenge—one brokered in a time before all written records. One harbored in talismanic law, fathomable only by those who dare to gaze into the Dragon's Pool and see what lurks beneath its waters.
Look Away, Silence
Coming soon
When Dean Taylor encounters
Matt Kieler over the Department Store ties, little did he know that the
entire fiber of the rest of his life would be effected. Look Away,
Silence is a deep statement of committed love in the face of crisis.
Based on true accounts from author E C Patterson's experience working
in AIDS Support Services, this novel puts a very human face on a massive
human tragedy.
"Although it was an ignorant bug that felled these cherished
youths, it was another brand of ignorance that made the panels so many."
