After temporarily staving off their race's extinction, the two dwarves find in each other a connection neither has ever felt before.

    Even though Captain Tristan Faulk and his crew succeeded in their mission, the Earth is spinning toward disaster. The hunt for the group responsible for the sabotage of the USS Orleans continues still, and they don't know who they can trust as Tristan is assigned a new mission, a mission that puts Tristan and his crew yet again in the thick of it. They start their mission, knowing full well another sabotage is not only likely, but inevitable. But a darker threat looms on the horizon, and it just might threaten two races into extinction. As a greater threat draws steadily closer, will humans and the Incirrina be able to fight side by side, saving both their kind? Will humanity be able to put aside its many differences to act as one? Or will it all just be too late to make a difference? **This is my NaNoWriMo project, and I'll be posting it as I go. It is a first draft. Any comments or feedback greatly appreciated.**

    Nothing's as Deadly as a Secret... Mila has suffered frigid winters, starvation, and soul-crushing loneliness, but she's safe and free. The government would have stolen that from her if she'd stayed, all for an accident of birth. Then after ten years on the run, an old friend calls. Now, her friend is dead, and she's taken her place as pilot of a decrepit space ship. But the ones who murdered her friend think she's still alive, and now they're gunning for Mila. She escapes each attack by the skin of her teeth, her life and secrets on the line. But with a Captain increasingly suspicious, security dogging her every move, and a shape-shifting assassin lurking somewhere on board, will she survive long enough to discover why someone killed her friend? Gripping and action-packed, Mila's Shift is a story of loyalty and friendship that crosses all boundaries, including the law, to uphold what's right. THIS IS A SAMPLE. The full version is available on Kindle Unlimited as well as MOBI, Paperback, and Large Print Hardcover formats.

    This is a story originally meant to be a part of a much larger project. The parameters of the project are such that each writer would take one planet in the solar system and write a story. The premise of each story is the same: the first colonies have been established beyond Earth. A plague occurs. War ensues. Each writer gets to decide what happens next. So this is my version! I picked Uranus and not for the stupid way of pronouncing it. My real reason was because of its unique tilt. The first two pages can be kind of cerebral for some but who knows? Some might actually like it because of that! Action fans just have to hang on past page two. The whole thing is about 7000 words. I don’t know what else to call it. A really long short story, I guess.

    A galactic patrolman finds himself stranded on a planet made almost entirely out of a vast ocean. As he scouts the planet to stave off his boredom and his yearn for proper food, he stumbles upon a peculiarity that throws him into a dangerous case that could threaten diplomatic relations between his home planet and a neighbouring moon. [Updated weekly!] - - - Ghoran Wagner is a member of the Cinnabar Hands: the border force and perimeter security agency of Admara One. Seemingly fearless, smug, and a bit too confident, a precarious incident in deep space sends Ghoran to a place no Admaran has been before. That place is Endless Blue. And it's a place where Ghoran realises he's been cruising through life at the wrong kind of speed. Encountering unlikely personalities, braving alien terrain, and combating inner demons are all gauntlets that Ghoran and his robotic affiliates must overcome if they are to ever leave the planet and return to Admara One in this science-fantasy adventure of galactic intrigue and action.
