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.

These are three short horror stories I did for Halloween

Santa has a problem, he's missing!

This is a short story about revenge. When the lies outweigh the truth can revenge and death not follow far behind?

Another short story I did. How far would you go for a lost loved one?

Another stand alone short I did. Not sure how to place it. I hope all enjoy it as well as I did writing it.

A woman shares passion with a dark stranger on Halloween.

Thomas had about given up. After a painful breakup he'd decided that alone was better than any thing. Then his friends gave him a short cut home. Yeah, some short cut. Who knew that Christmas could hold such surprises?

Lost in time strange things were happening to him. Then there was the fact that he had no memory of who or where he was.

A man is the sum of his actions, most times the little things go unnoticed. But noticed they are by special beings.
