O’Hara never wanted to be a hero. He was a combat pilot only because his skills made him the best and Earth needed men like him to fight the enemy amongst the stars. Living a life a service and duty, alone in a cockpit suited him well, but fate had other plans for him. Shot down over an alien planet he was saved by a beautiful and mysterious woman named Katreena. He soon learns that the world is populated by people who seemed to have been lost by time and controlled by stones that the people believe to be divine magic. Wanting only to return to his fleet, he discovers that he has more than a passing connection with the world’s people, a love that resurrects a heart long thought dead and a decisive battle to the war that followed him.

The New Terra Sagas

The years past and the two remained inseparable.  Joy blossomed into a beautiful young woman, with rosy cheeks, long curly blond hair and light blue eyes.  Her beauty didn't skip the notice of most of the boys in the neighborhood.  Some made excuses to get near her in classes and school clubs.  Some were brave enough to ask her out, but she only had eyes for Timothy.  He had grown to a fit 5'11", active in track and swimming, as well as the school choir and co-captain of the speech and debate club.  Of course, what won her heart was not his athletic build or quick mind, but the fact that he treated her like a princess; never missing an opportunity to hold a door, listen to her problems or compliment her choices.  To her, he wasn't just her boyfriend; he was her best friend.
