    Being the heiress of a Galactic fortune should be fun, right? Well... Miss Delailah West, daughter to a Starlord, is about to learn that the splendours she's enjoyed all her life come at a price - namely that of marriage and the limiting existence as an "ornament to society", or whatever nonsense her mother spouts. Delailah is determined not to end up an idle creature of luxury and to make her own way in the galaxy instead, but this begs the question: how in the Twin Queens' names does a young lady of galictocratic birth find her destiny, and can she do it while also defying her family's expectations and falling in love? --- Author's Note: Have you ever wondered what would happen if you threw Jane Austen's Collected Works into a blender and mixed them, sent the result roughly 5.000 years into the future and seasoned with Galactic aristocracy, a hint of Oscar Wilde and space-travel? ... I imagine it'd read something like this.

    Co-authored by Kathleen McClure & Kelley McKinnon In the distant future, on the planet Fortune, tech is low and the price of doing business dangerously steep... Six years ago, a single act of rebellion cost Captain John Pitte his command and his honor. Now all his hopes rest in keeping his crew-in particular his first mate, Jagati O'Bannion-together, and their battered airship aloft. But John soon discovers that running an honest freight business is not for the faint of heart. Between pirates, storms, taxes, and bees (don't ask), the Errant is in danger of being grounded-for good. So when a mysterious woman offers salvation by way of a lucrative retrieval job, John quickly signs on, only to discover that neither the job, nor the woman, are what they appear. Now John, Jagati, and the rest of the crew are on the run and embroiled in a hive of madness and deception, while everything he hoped to save teeters on the brink of disaster. Outrageous Fortune is first book of the Errant Freight series, introducing the outrageous exploits of the Errant crew. If you like your action with a side of snark, you'll love this free-wheeling mashup of science fantasy, steampunk, and adventure. Perfrect for fans of Firefly and Killjoys.

    Courier is your average street rat, however she was forced into this life. This was the unfortunate life she had known for a long time but it would all change with a chance encounter with a raccoon after a resupply mission. This is a passion project I've been working on for a while now. I will post up to chapter 4. If you want to read more I will eventually publish it under the same name. Thank you for reading!

    In a city where the rich rule everything and the poor are left to fend for themselves, who stands up for the little man? Certainly not the oppressors, but perhaps those penned as criminals? This story follows Lucky Legend, a young criminal (or Deviant, as they've been penned) under the codename of Prometheus. He's short, boyish, and feisty, wielding a selfish power without the selfish goal. He simply tries to live his life peacefully, and if being peaceful means he has to kill a person or two, why not? Read as he makes friends, enemies, and as I try and figure out how this story is going to work out.
