The screens on the sides of buildings were already on, advertising Particle City as if it were a perfect world. Ads of the Emperor and his dazzling smile. Posters of "happy" street-sweepers. And on the side, there was a large image of a Particle City worker facing the city's symbol with these words in-between: 'Til Death Do Us Part. A couple of days ago, those pictures would've reassured her. Comforted her. And now, it only clawed sharper at the odd ache in her chest. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ In the dystopian society of Particle City, happiness is shoved so far down a person's throat, it's hard to tell what's real and what's not anymore. Most everyone there is internally crumbling, but under their commander, humanity is simply a suggestion. So they put on a happy face and do their work. Astra is one of the thousands upon thousands of victims trapped in this vicious cycle of fake smiles and oppression that seems unbreakable. When she finds out the secrets of her beloved society, things unravel into a rebellion she never saw coming.

Flip Sable is twelve, living in Sionisp-a territory where winter forces its people to migrate or die, and the woods are ruled by things no one names out loud.

As the journey unfolds, strange signs, uneasy encounters, and old beliefs begin to press in. Flip must navigate a world shaped by gods, loss, and survival where watching, listening, and remembering may matter just as much as strength.

Earth, 20 October 2120 Today, I'm flying to Singapore to visit my brother. But something changed. Midway through the flight, our plane was attacked. Red snow began to fall, the sky darkened, and creatures from myth stirred in the clouds-watching, whispering nameless fears. Now, I can't tell who I'm supposed to save first... or if any of us can still be saved at all.

(THE AMBYS 2025 WINNER) In a future where Earth's greatest secrets lie hidden in the folds of time and space, a group of unlikely survivors discovers the truth: we are not alone-and we never were. Beneath the surface of everyday life, an invisible race known as the Translucents has quietly shaped human history, steering us toward survival-or destruction. After a devastating event that tore their world apart, Stella, Joshua, Dart, and Darsy must rebuild not only their lives, but their place in a universe far more mysterious than they ever imagined. On Earth, science and human ambition push the boundaries of nature. In a realm unseen, Transitopia rises-a city of crystal and shadow, where ancient guardians watch, waiting. As worlds converge, destinies intertwine. And the greatest threat to humanity might not come from beyond the stars- but from within ourselves. A breathtaking journey through loss, memory, and rebirth, Transversum is a story of invisible wars, unseen saviors, and the fragile hope that binds all existence together. What if you were never really alone? What if they've been here... all along?

There was a boy, in a cave...crystals were involved...it inspired me to start writing Crystal Guardian (then called Space Pirates - changed to avoid comparison to the children's show!) I'm a slow writer...I stop and start, and reedit. This novel looks nothing like the Space Pirates it came from! I didn't finish until I was 19. Before I started university to study writing...so it is flawed, but I look back on it fondly. Probably heavily inspired by Star Wars...oops.
