The starship Odysseus is on a mission to take a group of settlers to the world GJ 2238c. As they near their destination, Captain Tak Meller discovers the real purpose of the mission had been concealed. Meller begins to question if Earth's three great, intelligent starships are still being used for the good of mankind-or for Earth's convenience. COMING SOON! Read the whole story in "Starships: The Complete Saga." Extensively revised and reedited, I've put the three WattPad Starships stories into a finished chronicle. It includes two new stories: "Starships: Dawn" recounts the discovery that made the first starship possible. "Starships: A Song In the Dark" tells the concluding story-or, is it just the beginning?

** WATTYS 2018 WINNER ** Not one person in the history of the world ever said being Deathsworn was an easy thing. Fun, sometimes, and completely your fault, but never easy. You have one rule that you obey, unless, of course, you want to die. Your life is your list, your list is your life. For the Gallowmen, their journey as Deathsworn has seen them travel the broken realm of Oblivia. From Green Country to the Island Kingdoms, from Sand Country to the Scavania. Death follows where they go, their list gets shorter, and the dream of life becomes half-real. It would be fine if things were that simple. But curious things are happening in the west and the Burned Priests are charged with confronting the Empire's greatest threats. Where they point, the Deathsworn must go. They'll do their job, ask no questions, and get their freedom. Or they'll die trying. *Deathsworn is a spin-off story from a much larger trilogy I'm currently writing. Comments/reviews/feedback would be greatly appreciated wherever possible. Volume I of IV is COMPLETE ... Enjoy.
