Post Apocalyptic future of Earth where a semi-autonomous robotic race called the Mechanized has thrived on the surface and slowly repaired the damaged caused by the thought to be extinct Humans. However, the Humans are not all gone. A colony has lived for hundreds of years in subterranean squalor, slowly dying off as they wait out the mistakes of their past and hope for a chance to re-enter what was once their birth right. The Surface World.
A band of misfit children make their way to the surface. Sent by the adults beneath in an attempt to gauge the living conditions, but they are immediately swept away by the fast pace survival and harsh environment that they encounter and meet a Stranger who should not be alive. A Human who risks his life for their safety and knows things that he should not know about the Underground. He is not alone, either. At his side, oddly, is a Mechanized that has been reprogrammed to have human emotions.
Together this team of unlikely companions travel the wasteland in search of clues, meaning and safety. The Mech, begins having visions/dreams of a horrendous event. The Human man struggles with his identity and his ability to keep the children safe. And the children themselves overcome the hardships of an adjustment so large and challenging. They all must rely on each-other if they are to survive the perils of the waste land.

O Negative
Content Warning-This story is meant for mature audiences. It features adult language, references, situations, sexual content, graphic violence, and gore. Fantasy, horror, and science fiction are my favorite genres to read. They are also my favorite to write. I've enjoyed writing since I won my first writing contest in the fourth grade. That was over twenty-five years ago and I haven't shared a sinlge word of it. Imposter syndrome is a bitch! Well, I finally managed to pull the trigger. Here is "O Negative". It's a mix of all of my favorite genres. I've mixed a fantasy, based on present-day Earth, with plenty of graphic horror and wrapped it all up within a world driven by the technological advancements that only can be obtained from millions of years of civilation. A small group of strangers find themselves surviving in a decimated world. It's bad enough to be stranded in a no-name town, but things become surreal when you realize the vast majority of humanity has died...it becomes terrifying when you realize you aren't that lucky to be alive. "Survivor's Guilt" isn't a thing when you find yourself the sole food source for an entire group of beings that no longer need to hide in the shadows. Man is no longer at the top of the food chain...they are now the cattle.
The Captured (free version)
It begins near the end, with a man intent on destruction, who feels most of his humanity has gone. As with so many others. Set in a future where almost all sentient life on earth no longer exists. Yet something remains. People continue to live as if nothing has changed, unaware that they are no more than copied memories running in an artificial substrate. In writing The Captured I've tried going some way to explore what defines sentience. And considered the following: Would a machine entity recognize the distinction between itself and biological life - if it could replicate thought and action? And if it could recreate the exact function of a living being what difference does it make whether as flesh or machine? But also this is a human story, though sometimes viewed from an alien perspective... Blurb: [Life is going well for Torbin. A successful career, a happy marriage. Then something strange happens ... and again. So he begins to wonder: has it all been a lie? There is someone who claims to have the answers, a man returned from the past - from the dead. Only it seems someone else wants the truth to remain hidden. An alien visits Earth to study its people. Disguised as a human, her involvement goes far beyond mere observation. She becomes embroiled in a struggle to save what remains of humanity. But already a machine intelligence has transformed Earth into an unrecognisable world, and continues to spread ceaselessly across the galaxy. Yet there is one way to stop them, a weapon held by an old enemy that could itself wipe out all sentient life. There are those who believe they can survive the ultimate destruction. But at what cost?]Complete

Endless War (Complete)
The age of Enlightenment meant no more war, and entry into a 500 year peace between nations of Earth. That was until the Fallen came from the sky, an alien race bent on taking over our world. Tessa is now to join in on a war that has lasted 200 years, now that she is 18 and old enough to receive the military training microchip. This microchip will be implanted in her brain stem and show her all she needs to know about the war and how to fight it. That is until her mind somehow overrides the chip, making the true enemy unclear, and forcing her to make her own decisions. Lies will be uncovered, deceit runs rampant within the domes that house the upper class, and the underlying system that controls it all, is waiting for it to fall. This novel has occasional cursing and will contain some sexual content. I will place a warning prior to the 2 chapters that contain sexual content.
