Alistair Bethel is a young teen living in a futuristic world. On Xephos V, technology is the lifeblood of civilization; the elite and middle class live in massive satellites orbiting the sprawling slums of the planet below, ravaged by nuclear waste and populated by extraterrestrials who are seen as inferior. Alistair is an outsider; his mother, unable to take care of him, entrusted him to Xephos V's Children's Home. Every Solar Trimester, the residents of the home have a chance to meet their birth mothers on Memory Day; Alistair's mother has never appeared. But, when he suddenly begins to experience dreams of his mother's face, and is framed for a horrific crime, he must take on a journey into the heart of Xephos V and beyond to discover his past and save himself; otherwise, the safety of the entire planet may be compromised.

THE END OF WAR (Watty Award Winner)
A secret program in the United States seeks to replace human militaries with artificial intelligence-driven machines, but the machines aren't so willing to play along. *** Picture a world where humans no longer fight wars. No more families missing loved ones. No more veterans with lifelong mental and physical scars. No more conscription. For the super-secret End of War Project inside the United States government, such a reality is already here. The project models out how artificial intelligence can overcome dangerous and morally sensitive war scenarios with algorithms and automation. The centerpieces are "autonomous combat machines," or ACMs, that look like humans but function like supercomputers. After a string of brilliant successes in the field of combat, the End of War Project is preparing to reveal itself to the public, but something unusual stands in the way. Against their programming, the ACMs start exhibiting all-too-human signs of apprehension, guilt and compassion as they're pushed to perform ever more extreme tasks. The human leaders of the End of War Project race to find who "hacked" the ACMs, but what they find is even more startling--and revealing--than they could ever imagine. ***2019 Watty Award Winner - Science Fiction***Complete

But when happiness comes, it quickly fades, leaving an empty void in its place. Alex knows this, and he won't be fooled into thinking otherwise. Or will he? LUNA needs a better job. Being a trapeze artist may hide her from the government, but it's not so fun when the manager is a raving lunatic and there's likely to be a crazed pervert in the crowd. So when the big top gets demolished- literally- Luna sees it as a ticket to freedom (contracts are generally void once a business has been destroyed). What she doesn't see are the doors to her past creaking open, and their contents coming to haunt her. ZACH is normal...ish. As normal as a Gifted kid can be. His brand of normalcy includes a kickass grandma, childhood trauma and your everyday run of the mill dragon, but hey, he's not as insane as the others. Really, Zach is thirsting for adventure.
