For all the bodies she's encountering, you'd think beat cop Joanne Walker works in Homicide. But no, Joanne's a reluctant shaman who last saved mankind three months ago—surely she deserves more of a break! Yet, incredibly, "Armageddon, Take Two" is mere days away. There's not a minute to waste. Yet when her spirit guide inexplicably disappears, Joanne needs help from other sources. Especially after she accidentally unleashes Lower World demons on Seattle. Damn. With the mother of all showdowns gathering force, it's the worst possible moment for Joanne to realize she should have learned more about controlling her powers.

Summary: An archaeologist’s claim to have found Atlantis brings five thousand years of memories and missed chances back to Methos’ doorstep. Starring Methos, featuring Duncan. PG rated; no slash. © 1998 C.E. MurphyComments: I wrote this novel in 1998, just before Warner stopped publishing the Highlander novels. I submitted it and received a response saying that in fact they /had/ stopped publishing Highlander, and for a long time I sat on it, then decided I might as well put it on the net for people to read. So it’s more or less been relegated to the status of fan fiction, at this point.Someday, in my copious free time, I’m going to write the other two Methos novels I’ve always wanted to write. In the meantime, however, here is the unpublished story.web location --http://mizkit.com/cemurphy/shorts-and-more/highlander/

Much of the city can't wake up. And more are dozing off each day. Instead of powerful forces storming Seattle, a more insidious invasion is happening. Most of Joanne Walker's fellow cops are down with the blue flu—or rather the blue sleep. Yet there's no physical cause anyone can point to—and it keeps spreading. It has to be magical, Joanne figures. But what's up with the crazy dreams that hit her every time she closes her eyes? Are they being sent by Coyote, her still-missing spirit guide? The messages just aren't clear. Somehow Joanne has to wake up her sleeping friends while protecting those still awake, figure out her inner-spirit dream life and, yeah, come to terms with these other dreams she's having about her boss.... Wouldn't it be easier to just save the world?

Lives will be lost as the repercussions of all Joanne’s final transformation into her full Shamanic abilities come to her doorstep. Before the end, she’ll mourn, rejoice - and surrender everything for the hope of the world’s survival. She’ll be a warrior and a healer. Because she is finally a Shaman Rising. The twists and turns will have readers shaking their heads while devouring the next page. - USA TODAY on Raven Calls
