An accomplished older woman leads a tight-knit team to protect the Local Neighborhood. Together, they must find a way to stop the invading Olmeri from taking over. The Ambassador is a highly respected older woman, not another Captain or Lost Renegade. She is not a broken relic looking for redemption. She's good at what she does. Very good. She is slightly snarky, really likes coffee, is an adept in the martial arts, speaks multiple languages, and keeps lots of secrets. She's still got game but she's not a 'young vixen' any more. She'd like to retire. She can't. The High Council has summoned her for a difficult new mission.

The Ambassador is a comfortable adventure in a world where excellence is expected, integrity and honor matter, trust is earned, wits matter more than firepower, friends are the best, everybody gets a seat at the table, and the good guys win most of the time. It crosses generations and cultures, East and West. It's not the same and it is exactly the same. It will make you smile, cry a little, and smile again.

In his 1977, rock-and-roll classic, "Running on Empty" Jackson Browne sang "Everywhere I go, people need some reason to believe.... If I can get you to smile before I leave." That's what my story does. Gives people a reason to believe and makes them smile. So many of us these days are running on empty. Tomorrow is so close and so far away. The world is on the brink of change and we don't know what it is. We'd like a little less tension and anxiety. Crying is okay, but we'd like to smile maybe a little more. We want something familiar and comforting to hold on to. Something that we can relate to. Something that isn't about everything and everyone being broken. We want heroes who could be us.

The Ambassador and her team don't save the universe. They try to do good. Sometimes they succeed. Sometimes they fail. They are excellent at what they do. They are brilliant and humble, honest and kind. They are mostly regular, normal, outwardly average, incredibly interesting, quietly extraordinary people.

Good friends, good food, good times, and some bad guys in our Local Neighborhood.
