Rachel, a junior assistant in the cargo bay, wasn't prepared for the spaceship's AI to gain awareness during what should have been a routine update, nor had anyone expected it to take exception to the crew and the crates of illegal cargo aboard. Rachel races against time to try and get life-saving systems back online while stranded in the middle of deep space. Unfortunately for her, the AI can access every system, door, and airlock. As truths emerge, the AI realizes that even computers can make miscalculations, and it focuses on the young woman who had dared to confront it. Rachel is left floundering when the AI decides that she would make an excellent captain, albeit one in need of training. As she struggles to learn her new duties and dodge shady government groups, she must ultimately discover what it truly means to be a Starship Captain. ------- There is no romance in this story.

Humanity has an inherent tendency toward self-destruction. Drowning in hate and hedonism, the worlds of humanity have not seen a true peace since the end of the Hydrian War. It has been decades since humanity saw any true technological advancement. Ruled by a decaying republic, for most of humanity, absolute loyalty and real morality no longer exist. This is the declining state of the Ariean Solar Year 4249. Sickened by the state of the worlds, Charleston Reeter knows he and the rest of humanity were meant for something better. With the aid of a powerful AI harboring her own intentions, Reeter's New Era Movement will accept only perfection. People believe he will lead them to a future that is nothing less than heaven. Admiral Gives has seen hell. To him, it's any day he's forced to work with reporters or politicians. There is nothing worse for one of the most hated members of the human race. It is not his business if the worlds of humanity want to tear themselves apart, provided they leave his ship alone. But humanity came to hate him for a reason: given the chance to save the worlds, Admiral Gives refused. The rest of the human race never forgave him for it. It rendered him and his haunted battleship the embodiment of every evil Reeter has set out to exterminate. Welcome to the dark side of human nature. Welcome aboard the Battleship Singularity. ...... Guts, gore and cursing galore, Blood Impulse explores a galaxy where morality has disappeared. Inspired by Battlestar, Firefly and Star Trek, if you miss the glory days of TV space opera, this all-original work is for you. Step aboard if you dare, and don't forget to leave a vote!

[A novelette - Completed] 1st Place Short Story Winner in the 2017 Wolder Awards!!! 2nd Place Teen Fiction Winner in the 2017 Tick Tock Awards!!! 4th Place Teen Fiction Winner in the 2017 Gem Awards !!! Inside Michelle's mind her world has ended. Can Len fill that void? Who was it in her dream that made her feel that way? ‹‹Suddenly she stops dead in her tracks, face to face with a face she'll never forget. About eighteen, and half a head taller than her: those dark eyes - neither brown nor black - staring back at her with the same stunned look of recognition as she feels. She catches her breath with a step backwards, wanting to flee. "Hey, wait a minute. Don't go," he says quietly and involuntarily she waits for him to continue.›› TICK TOCK AWARDS REVIEW: "Inside Michelle is a teen novella written originally in 1983 yet still expresses many of the inner rollercoasters teens go through in the technology age. A creative writing style, strong characters, and a fierce message prove the author as a true master of the writing craft. The improvement made should be working on the cover to make it stand out more and look aesthetically pleasing to potential readers." This novella was originally written February 1983, and won first prize at Jamaica's Irving Burgie Literary Competition 10/August/1983, under the title 'Michelle: That's Me, Myself & I'. Never published. A million thanks to @ldwrite for coming up with this cover design!
