The Claxion government created the eugenics program with the promise of a brighter future. It started as a voluntary program, but failed to reach the sixty-five percent that was needed to improve future generations. Voluntary turned to legal requirement and legal requirement turned to force. Any Claxion that continued to refuse to be altered at the genetic level was tortured into submission. When torture failed to persuade, the executions started. It was that moment when the Rangers arrived and quickly devastated the government and military structures and left no eugenicist in power. The Claxion people had their day in court and all involved were sentenced to death for their crimes. The first generation following the eugenicists discovered a frightening reality. Space sickness was a death sentence for all who left the planet. The second generation lost most to the sickness, but others due to a softening of the bones. The third generation fared the same as the second. Trax'l was part of the fourth generation. He survived the sickness and received training to prevent the falls from killing him. He found work as ships security and is given an offer by the first Ranger he has ever met. Go through their training and become a Ranger. Trax'l owed the rangers everything and joining their ranks would mean he can repay them in some small way. Will Trax'l survive training and join their ranks?

"Rise and shine, pretty boy!" I shout at him and he doesn't respond. Of course not. Almost two months have passed and I'm still dead. *** *** *** *** *** This story, which began as flash fiction many years ago, is now a new adult romance novel. It's set in Georgia with a splash of magic and centers around Mallory Richards, who is not a typical ghost. It's 1996 in Atlanta, GA, and Mallory Richards has died three days before her twenty-sixth birthday. She's been following Evan Douglas these past three months, and she's not sure why her spirit came to him, but maybe it's because he was the last person she touched before dying. There are many things Mallory doesn't know or understand, like how she died, as she tries to handle and grieve her own death, but since she can't be alive again, she at least wants to be noticed. This is part of the first chapter for the book I hope to fully publish this year. (Forgive the amateur cover I threw together!)

Even the most uneducated can have a mind for adventure - especially when it comes to saving the world. A man with a tie is discovered outside the limits of a dried-up settlement in the middle of nowhere, bearing a plague that was long thought to be contained behind the walls of Ban-Ken. When Master Drew Hughes discovers that the man intends to spread the disease beyond the great city, it is up to the private alcoholic and a loud-mouthed orphan, Alyn Smythy, to brave the city's walls and put a stop to the man-made plague before its power falls into the wrong hands. Book one of two. [BOUND FOR EXTENSIVE REWRITES IN NOVEMBER!] If you are triggered by suicide mentions, probably about three suggestions of it crop up total in this book. GRAPHICS AND ART DETAILS: Font in chapter banners: https://www.dafont.com/queen.font Fonts in cover image: https://www.dafont.com/queen.font and https://www.dafont.com/the-circus-show.font Art in both is by me; though some of the black silhouettes in the banner (skeleton, horse, wagon, two trash piles) are vectors from the net. Any art found will be by me unless otherwise specified (credit will be given at end of chapter). I don't ask for critique or constructive criticism on my art: I am NOT an artist and will never claim to be. I'm a self-taught hobbyist.
