The end of the Prophecy. All Sensates must work together to thwart the Fringe Science Bureau's efforts to infiltrate the Sensates' safe haven.
H. H. Laura’s Sensates are born with a recessive extrasensory gene. Most go unnoticed, oftentimes exhibiting déjà vu occurrences throughout their lifetimes. An elite few who possess this gene and display a high moral code are selected to enter the realm of Sensates, who have existed for over two thousand years.
Heartseed is the story of a benevolent race of people with telekinetic, teleportation, and astral-projection capabilities, who have chosen a life of secrecy so their powers are not used by governments to change the course of human history.
Can a few hundred Sensates fend off the technology and military power of the United States government and still maintain their anonymity? Will the Sensate captured back in 1956 reveal their existence?
Heartseed begins with an unbelievable occurrence and challenges the limits of your imagination. Travel through time and space with H. H. Laura’s Sensates as they test the boundaries of their abilities against the most powerful government on earth.
Excerpt
Teater quickly showered, trimmed the three-day growth from his short beard and mustache, combed through his long unruly dark blonde hair and fastened it with a thin strip of brown leather into a pony tail that hung between his shoulder blades.
As he stepped into the bedroom, he sent a quick message by telepathy to Jediah to let him know he had returned.
Before he could fasten his pants, Jediah appeared at his side. Caught off guard by his quick appearance, Teater jumped backward.
“What? You don’t allow a man to dress in private anymore?” he asked, his humor displayed in a smile.
Jediah glared at him.
Teater’s smile left when he sensed the extent of Jediah’s wrath.
“You fool,” yelled Jediah. “Where have you been? Do you have any idea what you’ve done?”
Teater grasped Jediah’s fury in an instant. His chest fell. “Is it Nancy Jane? Is the baby all right?” He reached out mentally to locate Nancy Jane, but could not sense her mind. Short gasps caught in his throat as the worst possible scenario filled his thoughts. “Tell me! Are Nancy and the baby okay?”
Jediah slowly shook his head. “I am sorry for you.” Disgust showed on his face.
“I was only gone three days.” Teater’s words were almost a whisper.
Jediah grasped him hard by the shoulders and shook him. “Three days? You think your stint lasted three days? Try seventy-eight years!”
The words echoed in his ears. It couldn’t be. A physical shock went through his system. Time on Earth couldn’t have moved so quickly. The blood left his face, the strength drained from his legs, and Teater dropped to the floor.
The images came slowly at first, then played quicker as Jediah imprinted the missing years in his mind.
Teater squeezed his eyes shut against the pain and shuddered. “No! Nancy Jane and the baby are both gone? My God, what have I done?”
His body convulsed into sobs as he learned the baby died in childbirth, and that Nancy Jane had suffered the loss without him. She had lived her remaining years alone awaiting his return. Since he had sworn Jediah to secrecy, Teater felt the angst he’d put Jediah through because his promise didn’t allow Jediah to tell his mother where Teater had gone.
The pain in his chest was so great he thought he might implode. The joy, the dainty life that was his wife was gone. The baby they had planned for and loved in her womb, gone. His life, his dreams, his world, gone.
He looked up to see Jediah viewing him with distaste, his thoughts filled with scorn. He deserved all the anger and disappointment and any other punishment Jediah could muster.
“Jediah, my actions caused you and your mother great anguish.” Teater dropped his head to his knees. “I had no way of knowing. Oh, the heartache I’ve caused. All because I dreamed of the stars.” He choked out the words. “What have I done?"
