Gavin Dolridge has the worst job in the Kuiper fleet. His ship perpetually sails in orbit beneath Saturn, collecting space-junk and keeping an eye on the border of the Old Earth Empire. In between bottles of scotch he babysits a crew of has-beens and a distant, solitary captain. The glorious life of an XO.
Officer Caspar graduated at the top of her class, but she's as green as they come. Now she's putting in her time doing a first tour on the junk ship, and it's all she can do to keep herself motivated when the mission means nothing and the commanders don't care.
But when the ship's computer starts acting funny and alarms begin to blare, action ramps up on the border, and Dolridge and Caspar find themselves in grave peril. Can Dolridge confront the demons of his past to survive? Will Caspar rise to the challenge and get out alive?

Fracture - Book One of the Glass Galaxy Trilogy
Book one of the Glass Galaxy Trilogy Almost a century ago the very stars disappeared, leaving space a black void for three long hours, and when they returned, they weren't the same.

Kalani, a now ex-naval officer, has been wandering this new and unfamiliar galaxy for most of his life, searching endlessly for both his fiancé and the solar system they called home, but he has found nothing, and he grows more disheartened with each passing day. He has nothing but himself, his ship, and his companion AI in a galaxy that grows ever more dangerous, and if he doesn't adapt soon, then he will fall prey to the harsh circumstances that have overthrown his life. It's a good thing, then, that he will do anything to find his long-lost love.Complete
FREELANCER. BOOK ONE of the FREELANCER SERIES
Back in the late 1990's a great PC game came out called FREELANCER. It was an open galaxy adventure space game that had a good storyline. I spent untold hours flying through space in this game and I always thought it was ripe for a spinoff side story but I never pursued it. Nearly 30 years later I discovered a website called GOOD OLD GAMES where you could find and download many great games of yore. There I found FREELANCER. So I climbed back into the cockpit of a starfighter after so long and have enjoyed it even more than I did way back when. Once again the possibility of a side story presented itself and this time I have risen to the challenge. I have always been an avid reader of SCI-FI and I will be the first to tell you that I have blatantly used ideas from other sci-fi works in my story. I have also used names of real people and places to flesh out my narrative. And as a warning for those offended by sexual content, I have included some pretty erotic sexual segments in my story, so you may want to close your eyes as you read those parts. If you have ever enjoyed playing the FREELANCER PC game, you may enjoy my story. Let me know. As a side note to the story: In the story there is a space station named Lajes. In the following books I have changed the name from Lajes to Freeport Seven. Sorry if it causes any confusion.Complete
