This is a dieselpunk short story which appeared in the 2015 year-end issue of Tevun Krus. A humble courier named Hugh Bailey is charged to deliver a most unusual cargo for a rich client. Come along for a wild ride with forthright do-gooders, Nazi conspirators, twisted genetic experiments, and a cute but enigmatic creature who happens to make one a superhuman. A comic book style adventure in the vein of Captain America and The Rocketeer.

It's said that every story has two sides, and this one is no exception. This story gives the other half of the tale told in "The Debt", where the Skyscraper-girl tells the tale from her perspective.

The authors of @Ooorah put their minds (and pens... or computers?) together for the TKVII: CyberPunk.

When Peony Carter's little sister is abducted, she has to face the fact that she is perhaps the only person who has the skills to uncover what has happened. Unless she can convince P.I., Philip Greyhew, to help, but will he brave the childhood spectres come back to haunt him? Only teamwork will tame the ghosts of the past to preserve the future of a whole community. Can they succeed and confront the horror buried for so long?

"Perfect World Somewhere" is now a Featured Sci Fi novel! Thank you to the Wattpad team and all of you fantastic readers and friends who have made my millennium ;) I hope this story inspires and uplifts others as much as it has me. *** Lily Fairpoole is a girl of many talents. Gifted with a brilliant mind and a beautiful singing voice, she excels at an early age, working as her father's apprentice in their robotic maintenance shop. Her loving family and complacent life in the rural town of Plumgrove are sheltered from the outside world, though the War with the Pruessian Empire has raged across Earth for two generations. Even the most peaceful havens fall on Black Sky Day, as the robotic armies of the Kaezer devastate the homeworld. Faced with overwhelming destruction, Lily and her loved ones begin a journey driven by sacrifice, and the will to remain free. Lily's struggle takes her to the strongholds of the resistance, the dreaded ration camps of the enemy, the glittering and powerful off-world colonies, and finally to the Ruby lift--the swanky and yet often chaotic space elevator operated by the Royal Crown Orbital Plaza and Resort. Chromed and streamlined rocketships, heroic robots, brave revolutionaries, flappers, and plenty of jazz! A blend of early twentieth century eras and possible futures, as well as a coming-of-age story, this is the first complete novel in my retrofuturistic "Family of Earth" series. This novel is in revision status, so please feel free to comment and leave any feedback. Note: This story contains violence and dark situations, in an apocalyptic setting.

"Solswept" is an upcoming atompunk series, co-authored with my husband, Max Gonzalez. Set in the retro-future universe of the "Family Of Earth" series (three decades after the climactic hijacking of the infamous Ruby lift in "Ruby Descent"), this saga follows the adventures of a rebellious group of teens from Mars who do things their own way, no matter what. From their wild youth of drag races and dares, they grow wiser and bolder and ultimately help to pioneer humanity's first interstellar voyages. These kids face an exciting but uncertain future in the face of corporate corruption. In spite of it all, the spirit of rock n' roll never dies, and it will guide them through the challenges ahead. This book contains various short stories set in the world of the upcoming series. Here we'll intro the characters and the often precarious lives they lead. The Skyfall Strip: Avee Lyn An adventurous girl challenges an overconfident rival to a drag race. Classic hot-rod style. The rock n' roll culture on Mars is well-known for its love of thrills. To a bunch of bored teens out in the dust, roaring engines and dares are a way of life. The Meaning Is The Feeling: Su and the Dust Bunnies Here we meet the Dust Bunnies, a tough all-girl hoverbike gang from Mars. Take a ride with these carefree gals and their robotic companion, Vex. They must defend their Say against the corruption of a terraforming tycoon, Mr. Ronald Frump.
