People see what they wish to see. This adage is true regarding Counselor Deeren Laanara D'ryn, counselor for Sector 18. The Tearin of Nara see him as one of their own, but he has nothing in common with the species since his ancestors fled the world millennia ago. His own people thought he would keep their shameful secret. Attuned to history, he knew selfless acts of sacrifice were required to save them all. GY 8086: Birth of the Terrnara Counselor Deeren Laanara D'ryn is spearheading the effort to have the Galactic Counsel officially recognize the Teari-na as their own separate species. Not only is it going to cost him his career-but if they don't find the right way to do it and soon-they could lose the entire Galactic Community in the process. GY 8087: The Quest for the Genocide Trigger Right before the Galactic announcement of the Terrnara, Counselor Deeren Laanara is approached by a genetic scientist who reveals there is a genetic illness that was created and introduced to their population three thousand years before. The illness required a genetic trigger, long since lost to time, to activate. Deeren takes it upon himself to track down the trigger-wherever it is in the galaxy-to prevent more Terrnara deaths. GY 8088: Blood Lines After months of reports on the Terrnara kidnapped after the Galactic announcement, Counselor Deeren Laanara is hoping to put the whole situation fully behind him when he finds out one of the victims is his own biological daughter. He quickly heads to Laanara to see her but he finds she still doesn't remember much about her childhood despite her mother's Ta'nee handler's efforts to bring those memories to the surface. Lurking within those childhood memories is her mother's deep dark secret.

Kantinna Taezen, the third book from The Galaxy of ELL series, is an irreverent look at the epic hero genre. Kantinna is self-described as a willful nonconformist and follows her own way through her heroic journey. Even as the heroine of her own epic hero adventure, she doesn’t follow the typical epic hero format. Instead of defeating the monster, she is the Siren. Rather than retreating from an epic battle to return to win the day, her battle is with personal demons of financial dependence in order to cling to her crumbling dream.On the eve of the Daineen civil war, Kantinna Taezen is desperately trying to fulfill a lifelong dream she has sacrificed everything for … including love. During a rather challenging day of equipment repair, she takes on the extraordinary journey alone across the sector to save her world and her way of life based on nothing more than a command. She does not know that her quest is to deliver Netrair tactical information to the Dainee government to provide the ultimate advantage for the upcoming war. Unknown to the Daineen, a successful delivery will prevent the ultimate extinction of the Daineen people. During her quest, torment follows her every step of her journey of duty as she is pulled both further and farther away from fulfilling her dream to become a ship engineer. Will Kantinna's epic journey end in failure or be a pivot point not only for herself but for the entire Daineen species and the Galaxy of ELL as a whole?
