The Choosing One
In a distant land, a prophecy foretells the coming of a mighty hero to free an enslaved people from their oppressors. The hero comes, the Chosen One. Together with his band of warriors, he sets out to fulfill the prophecy. But the Chosen One is slain, killed in the night in his tent, struck down almost before he begins.
The only one who knows it is his untalented, untested brother. Unwilling to tell his people that hope is lost, he keeps the Chosen One's death a secret. When they clamor for their hero, he takes on the mantle himself, impersonating the hero to inspire the people. Guided by the Seer's apprentice, and with the aid of a wily, mysterious woman, the accidental hero sets out to fulfill the prophecy and free his people. Not because he was chosen, but because he chose.

The Shield of Athena
The Shield of Athena pits demigods against dorm-rats in a modern mythological race on the high seas. On Spring Break in the Greek Isles, college revelers stumble upon the Shield of Athena: the severed head of Medusa disguised as a large coin. Medusa's legendary sisters, the Gorgons, will stop at nothing to retrieve it. To make things worse, our heroes are hunted by the coin's protectors, a massive flock of harpies: half hag, half vulture, and all nasty.
Our heroes sail for their lives and search desperately for answers. What is this hideous coin? Who are their relentless pursuers? And what mysterious secret haunts the Greek twins that are sailing with them? The least motivated of them all, a seven-year-senior slacker, rises to the occasion to face the monsters like the heroes of legend.

It takes every ounce of his limited courage, and every trick he can pull out of his hat, to evade cops, a vigilante cameraman, and the girl's homicidal boyfriend. Will sleight of hand keep him alive long enough to get to L.A.? And even if it does, will they let him audition?

With the comatose driver as her guide, Jane becomes a swashbuckling seafarer. Little by little, the carefree, "swashbuckling-fantasy Jane" influences "real-life Jane" to take charge of her life and be the person she was always afraid to be.
