The project to gain Earth’s ratification into the Dil-Terra Interplanetary Alliance has stalled. Doubts assail renowned Chikondran diplomat, Minister Warnach Sirinoya, when he meets Sandra Warner, the young Terran administrative specialist assigned to help steer the massive project back on course. Never could he have imagined their first rocky encounter would alter the direction of his life, ushering him from private turmoil and personal disgrace. Neither could he have dreamed that she would inexplicably draw him into legendary mysteries on his own world.
Sandra Warner strives to prove herself while refusing to allow her family’s disapproval or tragic events to derail her goal of building a diplomatic career. Intelligent, driven, and sensitive, she surprisingly finds empathy with the difficult Minister Sirinoya.
Two people from different planets and dramatically diverse backgrounds balance unexpected turns in their relationship with cultural differences, demanding careers, lofty dreams, and personal sorrows. Those dynamics are woven into a fascinating tapestry of fear and conflict, triumph and love.

Sandra Valencia has lived her entire life in the state of Ohio. Growing up in a simple home with two brothers and two sisters, she always loved books. When classmates groaned over writing assignments, she relished new chances to put pencil to paper. Also captivated by studies of foreign languages, she has studied several languages and enjoys added zest in her life from traveling abroad to meet new people and personally experience the wealth of different ideas and cultures.
From early childhood, she encountered a dramatic range of experiences commonly grouped into a category called paranormal activity. Dreams, visions, precognition, and telekinesis are among only a few of the things that have sometimes frightened her, sometimes inspired her, and always fascinated her. Those experiences provide a treasure chest of ideas and concepts that are often included in her writing.
Ms. Valencia consolidated two decades of dreams into the series, Legends from Turand. She has been both surprised and gratified to be contacted by readers from around the world, including Colombia, England, Italy, Mexico, The Netherlands, and Portugal. Descriptions from readers of Song of Turand and Return to Turand include comments such as:
“Use of vivid imagery makes the novel a joy to read.”
“One reading is not enough!”
“Truly inspirational…”
“So vividly described, one feels a part [of the story].”
Married for more than three decades, she is the mother of two dynamic sons who challenge her intellectually and spiritually. Besides writing and travel, she greatly enjoys classical and Latin music. Favorite hobbies include: entertaining friends and family, doll collecting. camping, and exploring the many aspects of esoteric phenomena.
