In this retelling of the "Goldilocks, or the Three Bears" fable, Goldilocks must choose between a long walk home on an empty stomach or to throw caution to the wind and enter a strange house that's seemingly empty to find food. This time, however, things are a little different. Will Goldilocks repeat the same actions we all know ahead of time? Will the outcome be the same?The fable "The Story of the Three Bears". better known to modern audiences as "Goldilocks and the Three Bears", is a classic cautionary tale of a young girl's rash impulses getting the better of her and leading to an unfavorable outcome. She trespasses into the bears' cottage, eats all their porridge, sits in their rocking chairs, and finally lays in their beds before getting caught and scared off or eaten by the bears. Its message is clear: don't let your impulses get the better of you and end up getting punished for doing something rash.But what if things were different? What if instead of just being a bored young girl in a forest, Goldilocks was a young girl with an absent father left to her own devices as her mother worked to sustain them? What if she, in her carelessness, had ended up straying too far away to make it home before dark. What if she was hungry from having minimal food with her and hurt from an accident while traveling through the dark and scary woods? Maybe that small cabin in the woods would look even more tempting to her."Goldilocks, or the Three Bears" is a modern-day retelling of the Goldilocks story meant to gear it more towards a middle-school audience and to deconstruct the moral presented in the original work. It also gives more backstory to Goldilocks' actions and makes her a more sympathetic and rounded character. The story is focused more on Goldilocks' thoughts as she moves through the story that's ingrained into our public body of work and throws in a few twists to make it a more fresh experience for a modern audience.

Caren Johnson’s younger sister has been forcibly awakened as a powerful and supernatural deity, revered by multiple worlds...and a war has just been declared in her name.In the twenty-seventh century, the humanoid alien Meraladhza have been a part of Earth society for at least two hundred years. This race has brought a heightened awareness with them, a psionic spirituality that has both amazed and frightened humans...but it has also kept peace and helped the planet evolve at a much faster pace. Thus Earth humans are also able to achieve this heightened spirituality through training and awakening, revealing either a vigilant and protective Mendaihu soul, or a fearless and reactive Shenaihu soul. All are watched over by a deity, the One of All Sacred, who has reappeared in physical form every quarter century to preserve the balance of the two factions.That delicate balance is threatened when a renegade Mendaihu adept sets off a ritual that escalates a mass enlightenment well before the human race is ready for it…and in the process, he’s also awakened the One earlier than anyone expected. Caren Johnson and Alec Poe, two Alien Relations agents, are assigned to find and stop this leader, but as they learn more about his ritual and its aftereffects upon the citizens of Bridgetown, it becomes a bigger race to keep this enlightenment under control before it turns into another all-out spiritual war. They must not only come to terms with a changed city, but the change within themselves, and what it means to be a part of a new consciousness.This is the first book in the Bridgetown Trilogy of the Mendaihu Universe. Book 2, The Persistence of Memories, coming soon!
