Far-future earth is nothing but a wasteland planet, under the control of a few wealthy families. The Sanatanas are one of those families. In the coastal town of Mar Vista, Don Fausto Santana runs his resource-harvesting enterprise, and he will stop at nothing to get what he wants. His son, Tulio Santana, hasn't been to earth in ages. He's just arrived via the Jewel-of-Mars colony from his latest tour in the Intergalactic Navy, but when he returns to his childhood home, something just seems wrong. His father is exploiting workers, there are mysterious riots happening all over the city, and there's strange magic in the air. No one seems to be giving him answers, so Tulio must go out and find those answers for himself, no matter the risk. The Solstice Bandit is a futuristic re-imagining of The Mark of Zorro, full of adventure, magic, and vigilante justice. I wrote this as a school project, so it's a bit shorter, but I hope you enjoy!

Sixteen-year-old Dylan Sanborn is fairly certain she's about to have the worst summer of her life. She's used to being in her twin sister's shadow, since Destiny Sanborn just happens to be one of the biggest rising stars in young music, but this summer all eyes are going to be on Destiny as she competes for the musical opportunity of a lifetime in a televised competition. Determined not to be left out, and maybe a little bit eager to give Destiny a taste of her own medicine, Dylan hatches a plan to enter the competition herself and outshine her superstar sister. There's just one problem. Dylan has never taken a voice lesson, can't play more than a few rough chords on a guitar, and gets stage fright like you wouldn't believe. In order to put her plan in motion, Dylan has to enlist the (totally cute) boy next door for lessons, repair a broken relationship between a snobbish fiddler and a hot-tempered guitarist, and maybe learn a thing or two about herself in the process.
