Three Spacecraft, two-hundred-and-forty colonists, twenty-five trillion miles and a discovery that changes everything. "Astronomicon: Inception Point" follows the human race's intrepid first steps into interstellar space, a colonisation mission to Proxima Centauri. The colossal distance and harsh environment are not all that stands between them and survival. This first volume in the epic Astronomicon series is the story of their desperate adventures and the political machinations that are unfolding back on Earth, which threaten to end space exploration permanently. With colonies on Mars and a thriving mining community around Jupiter, will everyone want to come home? ------------------------------------------------------- This is a complete rewrite from scratch of the first novel in the Astronomicon series. It's effectively the same story with many of the same characters (as it must fit with book 2 obviously) but there's LOTS of new stuff, the Elysian spacecraft has been completely redesigned and there are a few new twists added. The science has been hugely improved, the pacing tightened up and I've worked more on character development. Please comment on any chapters you like (or don't like!). I'm particularly interested to hear how this new version compares to the original. And don't forget, if you DON'T like a chapter, please DON'T vote for it! Books #1, #2 and #3 are out on Amazon. If you would like to support my writing, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE leave a review there!!!

Set right after the events of Lost Hope, Descent follows Bel's desire for revenge that pits him against foes that force him to make radical decisions. Rex, conflicted by the discovery of his past, struggles to come to terms with his demons while fighting to stop the plans of his other self. And finally Kat... a girl woken from a lab in Texas fights off demons of her own, while piecing together pieces of her past with help from the werewolves. These three characters, by choice or fate, spiral deeper into a plot connived by unknown forces they have no power over.

To outcast Shinigami, Terry Bond (Rex), his past catches up to him in New York when he chooses to save a classmate from danger. His actions herald a chain of events that lead him to a past he buried... and should have stayed buried.

Corporal Greg Walker has just awoken in an icebound nightmare. With the decades-long war between his own race and the collective of genocidal, religious zealots known only as the Covenant comes to what might be an apocalyptic end, and the Covenant at long last finding humanity's homeworld, Greg is burning with rage at the thought of not being there for what could be Earth's end. But when he finds himself stranded on a distant, isolated planet with few allies and dwindling resources, he realizes that he's just crash-landed in his own war, and it will take absolutely everything he has to survive...

[Under Heavy Editing] "The whole world is against me, but I refuse to run away anymore. I will face them head on." Marty Rider is an unpopular high school sophomore. Since he was a kid, he only had the virtual world, which he could escape via VR equipment, as a company. It caused him to get obsessed with virtual reality, and people started discriminating against him due to his obsession until he was at the bottom of the social ladder. Furthermore, when a revolutionary, hyper-realistic, hack & slash style VRMMORPG titled Realm of Order Online gets released, he descends farther down the social ladder. When he first entered the game, his character got spawned in the game world without anything; giving him a massive disadvantage. Soon, he fell behind everyone else in high school, standing out like a sore thumb in the group more than before. Due to that, he got discriminated even more as he grew more and more obsessed with the game every passing day to catch up with the others. But he always messed up, resulting in him getting farther and farther behind than others. One day, while being chased by one of the bullies in the game, he accidentally encounters a boss who is way out of his level, and he is forced to fight the boss with every fiber of his will and being to survive. In the end, he wins, and-with a new companion that he looks up to on his side-starts to advance toward glory that he righteously deserves and struggles against great obstacles that yearn to kill him or to drag him down from his rise. But after a massive update that made the game more immersive, he gets separated more and more from reality as he fall deeper and deeper into the world of Realm of Order Online. The world has turned against him, and now he turns his back on the world. This is the story of a victim of reality who slowly gets addicted to the virtual world of a videogame.

A collection of shorts set in the Celestria Universe about everyday people in everyday situations. If you need an introduction to the Universe, this is where to begin. CELESTRIA PHASE: 1

A mysterious box. Small, lined with red velvet. Z9 is sent after it, amidst rumours of a single word. Thunder. The first novel to feature Celestria's agent, Thunder takes Z9 through the streets to the rich and the poor, underground and overpass, firing, running, driving, diving, bathed in blood and drenched in sweat as she stops at nothing to recover the truth and stop a threat to Celestria's very integrity. CELESTRIA PHASE: 2 Original artwork artist - unsure, but I found it posted on a thread on roleplayerguild, http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/89418-hokuko-a-freeform-open-world-cyberpunk-city-with-player-driven-plot/ooc
