Thank you, readers! PG-15: [Yes, you read that right. I would recommend teens not read it until they are 16!] Profanity, violence and sexual situations. Warning: There is talk of cutting and suicide. If any of these are triggers for you, please consider that when reading. Take care. Rob What if death forgot you? In a future that could be ours, Lizzie, a suicidal teen-age girl, barely navigates her own life. Then everything falls apart. In an apocalyptic land nearly deserted by disease, she lacks reasons to live until a shocking turn of events reveals a phone number. Her call pulls her dangerously cross-country to meet a stranger she thought was dead. In a world where there is plenty of food, plenty of gas, plenty of space... fear, anger and a lust for power still control the patterns of human life. This coming of age, edgy young adult novel is the debut of a former alternative high school teacher. If you like this, try Toils and Snares, a Deserted Lands novella, sampled on Wattpad.

Halo fanon set during and after the events of Bungie's Halo games and before the events on Requiem. This story follows the ONI-created Ranger program, a cooperative initiative to create an Elite team of Spartan-IIs and Spartan-IIIs trained for and assigned to tasks of reconnaissance and infiltration. Narrated in the third person following Kenaniah-086 and his Ranger platoon as they carry out high-risk missions, following well-laid plans that never go quite as planned, Into the Heart of the Flames focuses on the untold brotherhood between Spartan-IIs and their younger generation and stands as the companion to the co-authored and to-be-written Born Into Fire. NOTE: The naming conventions and some aspects of the Ranger program draw heavy influence from John Flanagan's Ranger's Apprentice series (obvious to those who've read him). All feedback is much appreciated! I'm only a 17-year-old high school kid writing in his free time, so please tell me how I can improve!

An exciting adventure through a bitter battle with a lot of amazing friendship and a little difficult love.
