HEART OF THE HERO
A horrible accident, a bitter secret, a man in search of the truth, and the woman who can either save or destroy him.

Affaire de Coeur Choices des Critiques
Best Futuristic Romance for 1998

A hero's welcome. . . .   awaited Danny White when he returned home.  But the space station accident had cost him more than the numerous operations and months of recuperation he'd had to endure.  It had cost him all memories of his past life.  he knew nothing of the person he had been or the family he'd left behind.  All he knew was that when his wife looked at him fear darkened her eyes.  The more Danny learned about the man he had been, the less he wanted to find that man's memories inside himself.

Praise for Here I'll Stay

"A great, big emotional rollercoaster through heartache and hope --  a ride to savour right up to its final crest of joy."                                                    Judith Ivory

Mallory's turn of phrase and writing style move the story along at a fast pace. Her description of fresh beignets, street side tarot card readers and the myriad of activity along the Mississippi, breathe color and magic into Nineteenth Century New Orleans.                                                 Tara Manderinio for Simegen Reviews

"An historical romance set in magical New Orleans, Here I'll Stay explores lost innocence, betrayed trust and the healing power of love. Readers will appreciate the blend of suspense and romance."

TIME RIDER
He came from the future to kill her, but he couldn't resist her touch, even if it damned him for eternity.

July of 2001 from ImaJinn Books

FF&P Chapter of RWA's
3rd Place PRISM AWARD WINNER 1998

In a future... run by a corrupt government, skipworths, a group of human beings with telepathic ability, are considered demons worthy of annhiliation. One man has been sent back to the present day to eliminate the person responsible for the birth of the skipworths. Dr. Kristen Skipworth is not the monster Rider Savage expects, however. She is merely a young physican whose an empathic ability makes her a good doctor. She can see through Rider's TAINCC conditioning to the man beneath. 

Kristen has never met... a man she was so in tune with, or attracted to. Too bad he's psychotic, thinking he's been sent from the future to kill her. Rider and Kristen find themselves on the run, with the future of an entire race of people at stake, and only each other to trust.

Praise for Time Rider: 

"Time Rider is written the way a novel should be written. Totally absorbing."                   
                                                                                        Harriet Klausner

"This is an astounding novel--whose only fault lies in being way too short--based on an interesting concept, and the author carries it off with elan and grace. . . . TIME RIDER is a great read, one that adds even more credibility to electronic publishing. The quality is marvelous. Good job, Ms. Mallory."    Patricia White, Under The Covers Book Reviews
"What Mallory has created is a rare surprise: an actual love story in a science fiction setting. Not a slurpy romance plunked down in the future to snare a few more readers, but an involving, earthy love dependent on its speculative story."   
                                               Lisa DuMond  MEVIEWS

"The interaction of Rider and Kristen is realistic, evocative, and one of the most fully-drawn relationships to be seen in science fiction. Or mainstream."         SFSite Reviews

"Time Rider is a suspenseful time travel romance filled with edge of your seat moments sure to please readers. Ms. Mallory is a master at blending suspense and emotion, keeping you lost in this book from page one on."                          Lisa Bondello Lover's Knot
