|  | | A Throne's Stowaway
Prince Charming in a Detroit warehouse? That's nothing! It's the throne that'll throw you! After freeing a ragged Prince Charming, two women discover dreams don't have to be fantasies -- and with enough elbow grease, anyone can create a kingdom.
When Tina Hamilton inherits a warehouse she never knew existed, she sees it as nothing more than a dusty, old, indoor junkyard. Her friend, Kate Mulligan, sees something else entirely. Expecting to find hidden treasures amidst assorted carnival gadgets and Kewpie dolls, Kate insists there's a fortune to be made there, and she's bound and determined to find it, even if Tina isn't.br />
br />
The last thing either of the two long-time friends could have expected to uncover is an enormous throne…and its highly unusual occupant.

In the end they'll all be dancin'--all them ones that didn't die.... Dance with me in the shadows amidst the lightning and the thunder, and all that nu-cu-lar debris. See the big bang from the other side, and then open that cellar door. Go down into the basement where creatures older than time lurk in dark corners. And imagine if the world could end with a single, simple sigh.
This collection of speculative poems explores the darkness that makes us shiver in fear and anticipation. But it doesn't leave us there. Moving from endings to beginnings, look for a promise of revolution, of standing up and taking back control. What can you do when you can do nothing? Maybe nothing more than dance in a starlit dream. And maybe that's enough.

Questions, unquestioned discoveries, and answers in parable and rhyme…. This collection records a journey starting with a 1960s retrospective and the first man on the moon, moving to a new millennium welcomed in with a terrorist spin, family crises, and the games we humans play…knowingly or not.
