FIREBORN
AT HOME IN FLAME
My name is Mary Andrews. Welcome to my worlds.
First, for those of you who are asking “why did she choose a blue template and call her site fireborn?” Remember that the hottest part of a flame is blue.

Book II of The Fireborn Chronicles
Tues Jan 1, 2008
Swimming Kangaroo Publishers has contracted to publish Book II.
March 1, 2009
The Fireborn Chronicles: The Oracle Prophesies now awaits an editor.
*Since the economy has so badly affected small publishers,
Swimming Kangaroo Press will be postponing all new book publications until January 2010.
I very much apologize for the delay. In recompense, I plan to have Book III ready for submittal at that time too.
Hopefully, a shorter wait between book II and book III can help make up for this delay.*

Both articles were posted at Marquel White's Political Pulse website.
Lubbock County Democratic Convention--or what the heck happens at one of those things?

"Tell me about your novel."
The first book of THE FIREBORN CHRONICLES should be released in both eBook and trade paperback ....
It is a science fiction story that takes place in a future where The Universal Government has offered a solution to most planets’ biggest problem: Criminal and nonproductive members of society. Each planet remains free to determine for themselves what constitutes an unacceptable faction. Then The Universal Government will remove them, and employ them on the Hive Planet.
Workers of the Hive are addicted to a wonderful and all-encompassing drug that can only be earned by working, thus converting each planet’s formerly unproductive and dangerous elements into a universal workforce that provides the ultimate interplanetary temp service across a truly universal web.
Since its creation, only one person has ever escaped the Hive Planet: A newborn, fully implanted with compu-link interface temple plates, but not yet introduced to the drug. He now leads a Dark Ops unit for The Gov. on a mission to uncover a psionic ring of criminals who have inexplicably taken control of an important Government Ambassador.
What they find will change the universe.
FYI: In high school I remember reading an epic poem The People, Yes by Carl Sandburg.
It spoke of the resilience and power that resides within us. This is my favorite passage:
TIME IS A GREAT TEACHER...
THE FIREBORN ARE AT HOME IN FLAME...
WHO CAN LIVE WITHOUT HOPE...
--All of my characters are at home in flame, hence the title.

March 2008 subject was TEENS.
April 2008features articles on DEALING WITH AN OLDER PARENT.
Please come back often, and when you do, feel free to play with my newly adopted mascot, Sparks.
You can feed him (by pulling out the can of cat food and double clicking on it)
Pet him and he will jump out of the basket to play with you.
When you double click on the basket he will jump back into it.
(He excels in swat-ball and dreams of someday competing in the Olympics.)
