Survivor. Torn. Sparky. Hurricane. Sister Nature. Rocky. These prisoners go by many names. When an average lunch goes horribly wrong, these fourteen SSA (School for the Super Abled) students are forced to complete a mission on the island continent Yorupi. This mission may grant them freedom from their dystopian department, if they can work together with sworn enemies and disreputable strangers, avoid accidentally killing themselves and survive all that Panterran nature has to throw at them. This wouldn't be too much of a challenge for these seasoned survivors, but there is more to Yorupi than meets the eye and this assignment may very well be the end of these unloved miscreants. Hope you enjoy, TheBluePoetess66 (Comments and tips encouraged)

A rebel double-crossed. A world fallen. And a relentless enemy who will not rest... Jack Gamble is a shattered man. His lover betrayed him. His contacts in the resistance are scattered. And his best friend may be dead. With the Galilei* Empire closing in, Jack's ship is intercepted by mercenaries under the command of Captain Ben Stone. Can Jack turn Ben to his cause, or will Ben turn him? But Jack can't afford any emotional entanglements. Not now. He has a rebellion to win and a homeworld to reclaim before the planet and its people are lost to the Empire forever. If you like action-packed science fiction adventure with undercover spies, ace pilots, special forces teams, wild battles, and a slow-burn romance, then this space opera is the book for you. *Note: in the early chapters, the Empire was "Corona" and the manuscript hasn't been updated to change that.

Ferann is at war. Nathan, a Manipulator in the Royal Guard, fights to end the forty-year-old feud between Ferann and its neighbour, Agaith. Elaine's greatest fear has come to Ferann. Any outbreak is difficult to contain, and the Fade... even Healers cannot heal everything. Callum has no wish to fight, but a Wild mage is everyone's enemy. All he wants is to be himself, but the battle may be too difficult to win. At 16, Eban is on the brink of adulthood. He alone wields all three gifts: those magics of the Wild, Manipulation and Healing. He may be the best chance for peace. But holding a battle on three fronts is complicated, especially when a fourth calls you from your dreams. For every choice, there is a consequence. And when your decision affects the lives of thousands, what do you choose?

Two worlds with one link - Lisa's phone. A raider from another darker Earth takes over Calen's body after a weird explosion. No-one knows about the swap, so Lisa's astonished when the recovering school heart-throb suddenly comes onto her. But she can't forget another Calen, one that she glimpsed... terrified, vulnerable and somehow in her phone.
