One day in the near future, the Japanese Self-Defense Force decides to transfer the command (and financing) of their air force to private companies and investors. Most reject the idea as a joke, but some show business-oriented companies catch up on the idea, spawning the birth of a new type of idol: the so-called "Idol Pilots", celebrity combat pilots. The five Toreishi sisters, Kanna, Yayoi, Satsuki, Uzuki, and Mina, are teenage idol singers who are collectively known as The Hummingbirds. They are also one of the ace fighter pilot squadrons in the Japanese military. When they aren't saving the world from major overseas threats, they are on stage in frilly dresses, pursuing their idol career. This is the story of how they came to be Japan's most successful idol group and their first line of defense.

Book 1 Set in the American West in 2071, intolerable heat and violent weather trends have driven the population from the Southwestern states, leaving the people who cling to a fringe existence in this wilderness prey to gamblers and thieves. Chief among the lawless are roving clans of racers who travel as outlaws in this new Wild West. Funded by wealthy stakeholders, the racing clans set new rules of justice within the circle of the banners they fly. Mouse, a talented small town motorcycle mechanic, finds himself kidnapped by a gang of Japanese bikers led by a formidable clan boss, Sadao Koga. The two form an uneasy alliance in a country without borders under the shadow of the Orochi banner. Book 2 Locked up in a decrepit Utah prison and two years into his life sentence for murder, ex-Orochi team Boss, Sadao Koga, must find a way to negotiate his way out of lock-up and back to his team's secret new encampment. Now under the leadership of his former Captain, Ichiro Tagata, the renamed Sasori team ('scorpions') is battling the elements while honing their new snow and ice racing skills in the heart of the Canadian Coastal Mountains. Nestled in cabins and trailers along the frozen edge of a picturesque lake, team mechanic Mouse and his best buddy Lieutenant Lupe (now a successful member of the active roster) wait for news of their lost leader's whereabouts. Impatient with longing for his wounded and imprisoned lover, Mouse must keep the financially struggling team's mysterious natural disasters from upsetting their chance to win big at the upcoming Winter Sports Rally in Squamish. Despite their isolation among the pines, powerful outside influences are rolling dice against the displaced desert racers' futures - many of which have grown from the deep roots of Sadao's war-torn childhood in Japan

The Hourglass bridges the time period between Orochi no Kishi Book 1 and Orochi no Yaiba Book 2 (in progress) in the Yaoi-Revolution novel series. Riding at midnight across the oppressive heat of the Great Salt Flats, Sadao interrupts his mechanic in the garage who is welding in the nude again (with proper safety leathers, of course) and takes him on a moonlight ride up to a cooler mountainside hotspring for a 'break.' Wet, steamy and dreamlike, this encounter soon resonates of something much more powerful and symbolic of the coming time when both men will be forced apart to yearn for a distant reunion.

In the fall of 1946, Petty Officer Daniel Myers is assigned to helm the largest ship in the world, the recently commissioned USS Midway aircraft carrier - a floating city of 4500 souls on post-war cold-weather operations in the North Atlantic. His commanding officer - a decorated hero of the Pacific War - Captain Giovanni Bove, is his one guide point in a stormy sea of doubts and hopeless desires. As a young man untested by war, Daniel struggles to earn his place at his captain's side before circumstance drifts them apart.
