In the world of September Snow Global warming and climate change have been rife for decades. Gaia, a new religion, originally devoted to preserving the Earth, has been perverted. A draconian regime controls everything—even the weather. September, a woman of intellect and physical prowess, leads a rebellion. She seeks to save the planet from a corrupt system, so the Healing Process of Earth can begin. A futuristic, dystopian story where mankind and the physical life of the planet are on a collision course.

Runes of Iona continues where September Snow left off, but, while continuing the saga, stands alone as a complete work.
Iona, daughter of a rebel, martyred mother and an illustrious scientist, follows the classic hero's journey. Her task is nothing less than fighting a corrupt and totalitarian world government and saving our ailing planet from further destruction brought on by environmental recklessness.
Balmanno touches on questions such as religion and politics, giving satisfied readers both a provocative thinking-person's story and, simultaneously, a thriller.

In Embers of the Earth, Book Three of the Blessings of Gaia series, The Gaia-Domes—technology-rich, oppressive and fanatical—are collapsing. Contending religions and sects roil the planet. Semiliterate primitives, decimated by environmental catastrophe, struggle to comprehend their obscure roots and uncertain prospects.
A brilliant youth, groomed for the task from childhood, is sent by the New Rebels on a 12-year odyssey to uncover archives that will enable him to construct a new alphabet and write the Foundation Document for a postlapsarian world. But can he successfully complete the mission without losing his faith, his principles, or his life?

After a millennium of cultural eclipse, the Earth's human inhabitants have resurrected
civilization and rekindled high tech. But immense challenges loom. Prosperity is commonplace, but so is poverty and inequality. Schisms roil the Gaia faith
as ancient artifacts come to light. And scientists struggle to convince the public that an
errant asteroid could bring earthly extinction..
Set in Silicon Valley 27 centuries hence, Auger's Touchstone is a tale of historians,
astronomers, techo-elites, agrarians, believers, dissidents, nihilists, a bruja, and a brilliant
young couple living by their wits and trying to make sense of it all.
It's a world much different from ours, but also surprisingly familiar.
