Wayfarer – Books 16, 17, 18

by eileentroemel, posted in Book Tour, Writing

How is Adara supposed to protect billions of humans? The answer – she can only protect those she can. Getting her to realize it – that’s the hard part. Juggling her third pregnancy, new planets and society, and trying not to get killed by Hettians is a enough to deal with but those are just the bullet points on her to do list. From War to Resolve, I knew the series was ending.

Wayfarer War

Home – they’re barely settled when Adara’s off trying to help the humans. Why? Because it’s how she is. But the humans government is too arrogant to see they are about to be slammed. This started as one of the shorter books. The characters wouldn’t let me skim over the more serious issues at hand.

The Hettians attack!

Rushing through Human territory, Command does not respond to the attack leaving the outer stations, planets and settlements undefended. Death and destruction follow the Hettians.

Pregnant with twins, Adara fears for her family and her people.  She wants to fight, to protect but doesn’t have the fire power to take on the Hettians.  Short staffed and short on supplies, she questions every decision. 

The Lux becomes a way station for those escaping the Hettian invasion.  With assistance from the Etiennes, Adara works to rescue survivors but also tries to let the unsuspecting stations and settlements know what is headed their way. 

Will the Hettians annihilate the Humans?  Will any race be safe from them?

Wayfarer Evolution 

Evolution and Resolve started as one book. About the time I got through the initial book, I knew it was too long. So I split them. One thing which needed to be prominent was that prejudice doesn’t go away no matter what you do to wipe it out. There’s always a little lingering.

Humans only survives

Old prejudices haunt the Wayfarers as they make room for the survivors of the human race.  Little incidents of vandalism and bigotry pile up.  Adara and Decker face the day to day running of the Wayfarers both on planet and off.  With Oakes’ reassurance and Decker’s support, she plans to take the new ship and explore their sectors. 

Before they can go, humans only make an attempt to harm their children and family. Taking a hands off approach, the investigation is handled by people outside the family.  Violence against the family and Adara’s assistants lead to the Wayfarers first trial.

Back in space, Adara settles into running the Wayfarers and exploring space.  She finds comfort and excitement in learning how to delegate and balance her life.  But the conflict isn’t resolved and follows her. 

Will the Wayfarers and Humans come together?

Wayfarer Resolve 

One of the things I wanted to show was that prejudice isn’t one way. Everyone has prejudices to some degree. The question becomes whether you act on them or if you try to overcome them.

Blurb

Bigotry haunts Adara.

Adara and Decker set out in their new ship to take workers to Monroe and find a new planet for the Etiennes.  While they address violent riots on Homeworld, their children are attacked.  Adara must be Mathair Naclan – mother of the clans.  She learns to take control and stand firm behind her decisions which follow beliefs from a range of races including her own heritage of human and Wayfarer. The bigotry threatens the most vulnerable of her family. 

Bias within the Wayfarers and against the Wayfarers frustrates Adara as she and her admin council defend against the Humans only group.  The family is threatened by the people Adara rescued. 

Can they find a way to peace or will the prejudice tear apart the connections Adara and the Wayfarers are making?

In this final installation of Wayfarers, Decker and Adara face an attack on their homeworlds as well as on their children. A clan member from Phelan’s clan attacks Addy and Zoe while Adara and Decker deal with riots and attacks on the home world. Phelan’s clan member is at fault. Will this break down the clans? 


Out exploring their sectors of space, Adara settles into being Mathair Naclan – mother of the clans. At the home planets, Hal, Dimitri, and others cope with vandalism, sabotage, and racism. The Humans only group rises with violence and hate to attack the Wayfarers from within.

  “It’s been seven hours and twenty one minutes,” Frey whispered as Jolen held her. “They’ve missed nursing twice now.”
  “Everyone is working to find them,” Jolen said rubbed her arms, tried to comfort her.
  “I can’t breathe,” Frey said rubbing her hand between her breasts.
  “You have to,” Jolen said. “You have to keep hoping. Harry needs you.”
  “He fought hard,” Frey said. “He used the self-defense training. We both did. It didn’t help.”
  “I know,” Jolen said. “Do you remember how many came in the house?”
  “Seven,” Frey said frowning. “They shoved all the other kids in a room, locked them in. They pointed phase rifles at my children.” Temper started to flush her cheeks.
  “Do you know how many were outside,” Jolen asked.
  “No,” Frey said. “We heard the detail fighting. Tray came in by us but they shot him without warning when they got into the house.”
  “He’s going to be all right,” Jolen said reassured her. “What happened next?”
  “They put the kids in our bedroom,” Frey said. “They ordered us away from the babies but Harry refused. I refused to go.”
  “Did they speak,” Jolen said.
  “One man spoke,” Frey said. “He spoke and the others did what he ordered. Harry fought. The man who spoke ordered two men to hold him while others beat him. I thought he was dead. I fought, I tried to stop them hurting him but they threatened my babies with their phase rifles.”
  “Was there anything distinctive about the man’s voice,” Jolen asked. “Did he have an accent, say words a particular way, or stutter?”
  “No. He spoke softly like he didn’t want his voice to be recognized,” Frey said.
  “Do you remember any distinctive features about them,” Jolen asked.
  “Two of them were over six feet but not by much,” Frey said closing her eyes. “Three were shorter than Harry, they might have been women. The last two were between five ten and six foot. The three shorter ones were bulky but I think it was an attempt to prevent us knowing they were women.”
  “Why,” Jolen asked.
  “When they put Harry down and me next to him, those three shorter ones took the babies,” Frey said. “The man in charge, he seemed to think it beneath him to carry babies.”
  “Frey, you’ve been wonderful,” Jolen said. “I’m going to step out. Regan and Rowena are coming back in to sit with you. Before I go, I want you to know, you are safe here. You are in a private room at the Healing Center. There are several squads of fighters surrounding you. Outside of those people, we’ve got neighborhood watch patrolling the nearby neighborhoods.”
  “Where are the rest of the children,” Frey asked.
  “Libheanna has seen to them,” Jolen said. “She set them up in a space across the hall. They are secure.”
  “How many of the detail died,” Frey asked.
  “The count is up to four now,” Jolen said. She patted Frey’s shoulder as she shook her head burying her face in her hands.

Wayfarer Evolution and Other Good News!

by eileentroemel, posted in Crochet and crafting, Life, Writing

It’s done!  It’s published!  I’m really excited about this one.  I think the story turned out really good.  I’m pleased with the end result.

Here is a synopsis of it:

With the retreat of the Hettians to their own space, Adara is left to face the day to day running of the Wayfarers.  With Oakes’ reassurance and Decker’s support, she plans to take the new ship and explore their sectors.  A visit from Dalina of the Tuscalains and trouble in Hometown, Adara’s escape is delayed.
Adara settles into having four children but worries she isn’t giving them enough time while she is Mathair Naclan.  Consulting with Oakes, she and Decker plan to return to space so she can explore their sectors. 
Unrest with the Humans only group causes conflict and violence in Hometown.  Adara’s children and family are threatened.  Adara’s assistants are attacked, which leads to their first trial.  Due to her involvement with the victims, Adara stays on the sideline of the trial. 

Back in space, Adara settles into running the Wayfarers and exploring space.  She finds comfort and excitement in learning how to delegate and balance her life.  But the conflict isn’t resolved and follows her.  Will the bigotry continue?

This week I also got my Braided Scarf pattern published in Happily Hooked Crochet magazine (issue 51).  If you want to check out the magazine, it’s available here.  The Braided Scarf is a gorgeous gray and purple sparkly yarn which turned out beautifully.  

I’m jumping up and down for joy but only for a little while because I still have work to do!  Crochet patterns to publish and post on Ravelry, edits to enter in the computer, and a long long list of projects to work on.
