Who is trying to kill an ordinary New Mexican housewife? It's true that Ana Darcy Méndez has secrets even her husband and adorable twins don't know. One is that her countrymen have accidentally given terrorists a deadly new weapon which they are about to use. As she risks her life to prevent a massacre, the Russian Mafia, the American Mafia, the U.S. Special Forces, the F.B.I., and the C.I.A. learn one more of her secrets: she is no ordinary housewife!

As in the first Distant Cousin novel, Ana Darcy cuts through your heart like a Samurai sword in this third installment of the unusual Distant Cousin sci-fi novels...ten-star-good...a totally outstanding read...will leave tracks on your heart. (Floyd M. Orr, author of The Last Horizon)

The unique blend of believable not-too-distant futures and adventures, familiar yet not so familiar people and places, and ever present theme of timeless, spaceless love and joy provide the reader with more than entertainment and excitement. Distant Cousin Reincarnation kindles deep hope for us and all of our cousins. (Reviewer at Barnes and Noble.com)

The Arrival of Distant Cousin: Volume 1

A girl who speaks an extinct Indo-European language shows up at an observatory in West Texas warning of disaster headed for Earth. She claims to know this because she has been studying Earth from the moon for 60 years. Obviously she's crazy, and they kick her out. But the government watched her land and chases and captures her. Running for her life, she makes some odd friends who help her devise an outrageous plan to get her message across. If it doesn't work, she'll die along with millions of others. If it does, what then? That's only the beginning... 

...one of the best reads I have ever had. He has grounded the story in the unmistakeable reality of west Texas, with characters you will not only believe in but love. Each chapter is a wonderful surprise that leads you on to the next. There is no doubt that Distant Cousin would make a spectacular, crowd-pleasing movie....It is so heartwarming and fun. (Margaret Moser, The Beeville Bee-Picayune, June 17, 2006)
