In a brazen nuclear attack, she and her daughters were murdered. Priestess Celeste Ciel went on the run, with her the last hope for a new Empress. Alone and labeled a terrorist, Celeste stowed away on the cargo starship belonging to a man nicknamed 'Moon', a loner and cynical ex-military engineer who would rather be left alone.

A galactic future of human expansion, alien intervention, and infinite possibilities... Morrigan, a pirate captain getting a bit bored with managing her crew and longing for the outlaw dreams of adventure, finds herself in a bar with a drunk woman who claims to be God. And, more importantly, she claims she can take Morrigan to the mythical centre of the universe, where all your wildest dreams can be reality. Noel, an overworked and under-appreciated planetary bio-inspector, is going through the motions, ensuring planets set for destruction and core mining don't have intelligent or high potential life on them when he begins to suspect one of the companies isn't playing by the rules, and is mining planets regardless of what might get killed, setting him on a mission to go outside his pay. Without knowing, the two will collide and their lives will merge together in a race for the soul of the universe itself.

Book one of the Glass Galaxy Trilogy Almost a century ago the very stars disappeared, leaving space a black void for three long hours, and when they returned, they weren't the same. The galaxy had changed. Old constellations were gone, well-known planets nowhere to be found, and new inter-galactic nations replaced the old. Only a single star system didn't change. Kalani, a now ex-naval officer, has been wandering this new and unfamiliar galaxy for most of his life, searching endlessly for both his fiancé and the solar system they called home, but he has found nothing, and he grows more disheartened with each passing day. He has nothing but himself, his ship, and his companion AI in a galaxy that grows ever more dangerous, and if he doesn't adapt soon, then he will fall prey to the harsh circumstances that have overthrown his life. It's a good thing, then, that he will do anything to find his long-lost love.

Miorpeans are an ancient race that use starlight as a source of nourishment and energy. For eons they traveled the cosmos in search of sentient life that existed harmoniously within the limits of a planets balanced bio-network. They found the inhabitants of Earth to be in violation of this, the most imperative and fundamental of their natural laws. The planet was withered, desolate, and dying. Its environment was collapsing and Humans were deemed responsible for the planets deplorable condition, and eradicated. Now, after centuries of terraforming, a rejuvenated Earth was ready for habitation. A team of Miorpean researchers were tasked with testing the environment of this newly reclaimed world. One member of the team, Mira, made a stunning discovery. Somehow, humans had survived and were thriving in large communal settlements. Mira would come to believe that humans respected the planet and vowed to protect them from the fate the befell their ancestors. A stunning revelation about the origins of these humans would bring her into an intense conflict with a code of ethics and beliefs that has guided the course of her ancestral people since the beginning of time.
