SYNOPSIS

What if you have half a second to stop the extinction of part of the human race? What if that pivotal instant involves you saving your own life but first you have to believe an undiplomatic liaison of a colony of Earth inhabitants who lives in an altered future timeline.

Catherine, an environmental engineer, lives with the constant pressure that is an innate part of her research and advocacy work. She believes in protecting the environment, not only for her generation, but for the future. When her father dies unexpectedly she begins to battle with sleep deprivation. Sleep eludes her and when it does come, she finds herself repeatedly dreaming about standing on the same high plateau with her greyhound, Addy, surrounded by plants and animals and insects. In each dream the living landscape appears and then suddenly transforms into ash.

Keitha, an archivist who lives two hundred years in the future in an underground colony that is living with the consequences of past actions/inactions, stands on the plateau with her dog Murphy. Keitha has no time for Catherine's doubts. She knows that Catherine holds the key to stopping the

Machiavellians from changing an event that shifts Earth's future timeline, resulting in the extinction of Keitha's colony.

Catherine's belief in the Hau de no sau nee (Six Nations Iroquois Confederacy) principal that we have to consider the effect decisions have on descendants seven generations into the future is put to the ultimate test when she learns that 'the event' is her own death. In order to stop it, Catherine must walk directly into its path.

 ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Maureen and Charley

I received my Bachelor of Science in Environmental Engineering from Montana College of Mineral Science and Technology. I interviewed for a position with the State of Colorado over the telephone. Back then there was no email, let alone Skype. I got the job and, after an interesting January drive from Montana to Colorado, I began my career as an Environmental Engineer.

Kilty

After more than two decades of working for state and then local governments, I decided it was time for a change. While working on a couple of contract projects, I discovered that I didn't mind working in solitude, because really I was not alone. With the support of Dave and my four-legged associates, first Kilty and now Charley, I have been able to transition into writing.

Plateau—voices of the earth is Book 1 in a Trilogy about our efforts to protect and preserve our natural environments—how what we ultimately do, as stewards of our planet, affects the next seven generations and earth's future timelines.
