Her sci-fi /romance/ speculative fiction/ paranormal (psi)/ multiverse/ utopian books for New Adult/adult/YA audiences, "The Spanners Series," include multiple timelines and multi-species stories that are unique, moving, inspiring, funny and thought-provoking.

She meditates, writes, swims, reads and guest blogs; she hosted 50 Episodes of her LIVE video talk show, *CHANGES*, conversations between authors, from St. Louis, Missouri, USA, which are archived on her "Sally Sue Ember" YouTube channel, with info on each Episode on the *CHANGES* Facebook page as well (links on her website, sallyember DOT com).

Titles By Sally Ember
Are You Ready for the Changes?
Dr. Clara Ackerman Branon, 58, begins having secret visits from holographic representations of beings from the Many Worlds Collective, a consortium of planet and star systems in the multiverse. When Earth is invited to join the Collective, the holos choose Clara as liaison between Earth and the Many Worlds Collective to make the secret visits public and guide Earth's new leaders. While Earthers adjust their beliefs and ideas about life, religion, culture, identity and everything they think and are, rebellions and conflicts arise. The Collective works with Clara to create the Psi-Warriors who fight the leaders of the resistance, the Psi-Defiers. With multiple re-sets needed to revise the past and future to save lives, in which of the timelines in the multiverse does her love, Epifanio Dang, get to be with Clara? Over Clara's thirty-year term as Chief Communicator, Earthers must undergo major transformations.
Sci-fi, Romance, Paranormal, Aliens, Multiverse, Utopian, Speculative ten-Volume Series for Adults, New and Young Adults: The Spanners, starts with This Changes Everything.
One reviewer says of This Changes Everything :"The experience is mind-altering, and would challenge readers to think beyond the bubble that we live in." Another notes: "This is an alien story where the aliens are helping rather than trying to take over the world." A third informs: "If you like, sci-fi, fantasy and or aliens, this is the book for you. I do recommend this book and I hope you try it."
The Spanners Series is for particular readers: "I have this odd feeling that I'm just not smart enough for this... I don't have the intelligence level to make good sense of it....If you like very well-structured notes, detailed descriptions of almost everything..., humor (really good humor I might add), and a slight love interest, this book will not fail to impress you. In fact, I guarantee you will love it if these are the types of things you look for in a book," one reviewer explains.
Find out how Earthers cope with becoming a member of the Many Worlds Collective. Read how multiverse timulter, Dr. Clara Branon, Earth's first Chief Communicator, deals with being with/not being with her on/off love, Epifanio Dang. Meet Esperanza Enlaces, her Chief Media Contact, Clara's son, Zephyr, and the rest of her family and friends to find out how they deal with the psi wars and psiskills training programs and the thousands of other changes in Volumes I - X of The Spanners Series, starting in late 2013 - 2018, with one new Volume every six months.
"Creative, Original Writing!" "Quality writing, creative and original story!"
What Multiverse Timeline Are YOU In?
FREE now!
Clara, as Earth's first Chief Communicator, also juggles family conflicts and danger while creating psi skills training Campuses to help Earth through the Psi Wars. Clara timults alternate versions of their futures as the leaders' duties and consciences force them to make difficult choices across multiple timelines, continuing to train and fight.
Will the Psi-Warriors' and other leaders' increasing psi skills, interspecies collaborations and budding alien alliances be enough for Earth to make it through The Transition intact? If there is no clear path for Clara's and Epifanio's love, does she partner with Steve or go it alone?
What do YOU do with wanted/unwanted changes?
