She has spent her twenties trying and failing to find her real mother. Trusting no-one with her secret, it has been a lonely search on her own. Her hunt has finally led Elizabeth to Grove village. Getting involved with the local amateur dramatic society was not part of Elizabeth’s plan. But famous theatre director Jack Andrews appears to hold the key to her mystery and if she keeps close to the villagers she might be able to finally meet her real mother. Unfortunately the production of The Wizard of Oz is a mess. Dorothy’s hormones are menopausal, the TinMan is Elizabeth’s badly behaved ex-boyfriend and the Wicked Witch of the West has a huge secret. It’s up to Elizabeth to take control of the musical to ensure it’s a hit for all the right reasons. Maybe some of her new friends will help, if she can learn to trust them. And just maybe, amongst the cast of undertakers, farmers and florists, a true star lies in the wings. But perhaps what Elizabeth seeks isn’t what she really needs? Perhaps it will take a group of strangers to show her the path to true happiness once more. All Elizabeth knows is that she has to find a way to let go of the past in order to look forward to the future. Perhaps all of her answers lie Over The Rainbow.

    The first moment I see her, I know she'll be trouble. She's so much younger than me and from a different world, but she wants me, and I want her.It's simple... Until it isn't. Hard: LukaI’m nobody’s hero.All I do is work, eat, train and sleep. Repeat. The only thing I care about is protecting those who matter to me. Other than that, I’m numb, walking through the world like a ghost. And guess what? That’s the way I like it. Then she comes along … the forbidden fruit I've got to taste. Fast: Liam Alone.Apart.In control.These attributes define me. Then I see her. On a screen. The woman I'm paid to watch. I want more. I'm going to save her. I'm going to make her mine, even if it's wrong. Deep: Reece I'm a warrior, protecting people is what I do. Someone is out to hurt the woman I'm charged with protecting.I won't let them, but soon it becomes personal...too personal. She's off limits, but I won't let that stop me. Not now that I've found someone with a soul as wild and dark as my own. I'm about to crash and burn my moral code into the ground...and it will be so worth it.

    

    Races operating within their own planetary systems are to be left alone until they begin to develop the ability to travel at FTL (faster than light speeds). When the ability to travel at FTL becomes apparent, one of the members of the Federation is nominated to help ease the newcomer through the Galactic citizenship process. Unfortunately, not all the galaxies systems belong to the Federation, and some of those systems are much less than friendly. The last several decades have seen the development of war like societies that systematically loot developing planets. They take the water, and other precious resources, including slaves, leaving the remaining native inhabitants a barren planet. Without resources the population simply dies a slow death. The Egolari are here because we, meaning the people of Earth, happen to possess a skill set and an aptitude that is critical to the needs of the Federation. The major problem within the Federation is that virtually all the members have, for centuries been living in peace. They have developed a society that is not well suited to counter the growing violence presented by the nonaligned races. In short, they have no way to protect themselves, let alone protect the fledgling races just arriving on the galactic scene. Enter Earth. Of all the emerging races to become future galactic members, one has a superior potential to face the violence threatened by the nonaligned races. You guessed it, Humanity. The Federation realized that to continue to function as an organized galactic society, they would have to develop a military arm that could provide the Federation and emerging systems the protection of a fleet of space vessels and marines. Humanity was the race most capable of leading the development of that military organization because we had not progressed so far that our war like tendencies had begun to erode. Although we were not yet ready for galactic membership, we were a necessity that could fill the need, thus we were getting a crash course in how to travel the galaxy, protecting ourselves and the Federation with the full expectation that we would go where no human has gone before, and kick some alien ass.
