SIREN is a novel about six people from around the world selected by the UN to investigate a strange musical transmission emanating from Neptune's orbit. They're given a spaceship with cutting edge technology, placed into an induced coma, and expected to report back in three years time. But when the awakened crew arrives at the origin of the transmission, their electronics malfunction and they're driven through the Kuiper Belt. With their engines ruined, oxygen supplies dwindling and one of the team members suffering from hypoxia, time is of the essence for the troubled squad. Their situation grows ever more tense when Tommy Fletcher discovers three alien ships watching their every move. Tommy Fletcher, the protagonist of SIREN, is the resident linguistics expert who over-thinks, second-guesses and has a habit of biting his nails. He may be in his late twenties, but Tommy's ceaseless trepidation makes the rest of the hardened crew feel like he's fragile and witless. Will the chaotic events happening around Tommy break his brittle will, or can he shed his hesitant demeanour and become a hero?

*****WATTYS 2015 WINNER!***** WATTPAD STAFF PICK (9/7/15) In the end, the robots win. But you already knew that. "Everyone Died + My iPhone Stopped Working" is a collection of short interviews with some of the survivors. People who have tremendous insight into the rise of Artificially Intelligent machines or, more often, don't. Why did the robots rise up? What did they want? Why couldn't they be stopped? Can they be stopped now? Is humanity doomed? And what the f--k is going on with the squirrels? You will get the answers to all of these questions. Or some of these questions. Or none of these questions. We'll see. I will be updating this once a week until I run out of stuff that I find funny. Then I'm done. Cover art courtesy of the hilarious and ridiculously talented Dave Pressler. (http://www.davepresslerart.com)

It all began a long time ago. While the gods still walked the Earth, along with their most prized companions, the angels. They lived together in harmony. The Angels were faithful and loyal to the gods, and free to live their immortal life at their very own pleasure, and bound by only one rule. It was forbidden for an Angel, an immortal with the blood of a god flowing through them to fall in love with a simple human. Until one did. He, along with every other angel, were cursed. Forced to live along the mortals, and find true love before the last star dies, leaving them in complete darkness... Unedited and updated at every 200 reads *** Extract from the book : The electricity that Esmarelda had always read of in books seemed like an understatement. Energy. Pure thunder and energy dances through Esmeralda, leaving a trail of painful pleasure charging through her veins. The feeling left her breathless but craving for more. He didn't answer immediately. Maybe he felt the same way she did. Esmarelda hoped so. Carefully, she raised her palm to overlap the hand that rested on her blushing cheek and looked at his with pleading eyes.
