2060: 
“It’s taken us seventy-six years and it’s been a long and tedious process but we have finally had contact with extra-terrestrial intelligence. They are coming and they should be landing within the next hour.” 

Alice was just a normal fifteen year old girl in the year of 2060. Neglected by her movie star parents, through no fault of her own, she is left in her house alone on the night that the aliens land. Could have been any worse? 

Oh yes. They landed in the field behind her garden. For twenty six minutes of her life Alice interacts with the aliens who don’t seem to be so scary in person. Kate is tall and beautiful. Ethan is gangly, hideously plain and socially retarded. After raiding her refrigerator, the aliens leave her alone again. Little did Alice know just how much those twenty six minutes would alter her life. Four years later, Alice bumps into a very different Ethan and is snatched from her hectic and chaotic life style to aid the alien family. 

Join Alice and Ethan as they try to overcome their hatred for each other to form an unstoppable team to save the lives of Ethan’s family. Who is more terrifying; the humans or the aliens? Which side would you take?

*****THIS STORY IS CURRENTLY UNDERGOING A MASSIVE REWRITE - FINAL WORK IS CURRENTLY BEING POSTED AS A NEW STORY ON MY PAGE - UPDATES SPORADIC ***** "You can't tell me there isn't something here worth risking everything for." [New Adult Apocalyptic Romance] Summary: Most of the population is dead, some have turned into vicious, crazed creatures who want nothing more than to eat you, and a small percentage are left to try to survive. Nothing is the way it was. With not much more than a pistol and a vague idea of what she's doing, Claire Harrington ventures out into this new, unforgiving world with only one real goal: to keep her younger sister safe. The odds are against her, until she runs into Parker and finds herself reluctantly accepting his offer to help. Trust is a fragile thing. Humanity is a construct. Love is a weakness. But these are the thoughts of a survivor, and she's beginning to wonder if surviving is all she wants. Maybe she wants to live.

When Mandy loses her job, she thinks she’s hit rock bottom – until her plane is swallowed by a strange storm that sends her and everyone else on board 10,000 years into the future. At first, she thinks the scary world is nothing more than a bad dream. The war-torn Earth is unrecognizable. Black fog blocks the sun, and the oceans are dry. Even worse: the planet is inhabited by half-human, half-alien creatures dying from a mysterious disease. Horrified at the thought of spending her life here, she clings to the knowledge that there’s one man who can open the star gate to send her home. As the Naki prince who controls the star gate, Akkadi gets first choice of any human female that makes her way through the star gate. Only by breeding with purebred humans from the past can his race hope to remain immune to the disease and hopefully, develop an eventual cure. With shrinking resources and a raging battle for the human planet, dutiful, commanding Akkadi is less than thrilled at the idea of trying to figure out Mandy, a woman he views as wild with neither discipline nor respect for someone in his position. He’s ready to write her off, when she offers him something too tempting to resist: her body for the chance to convince him by any means possible to send her home. Neither intends for the arrangement to be permanent or to fall for the other. Only when Mandy learns Akkadi’s secret and walks away does he realize he’ll do whatever it takes to keep her – even if it means losing his war.

Elodie's life changes at the turn of a doorknob when she is forced into joining a secret organization that claims to be protecting the Earth from aliens. But with every step she takes, she finds the organization, or the facility, as they call it, becoming more and more suspicious. When a mysterious death occurs, revealing a well-concealed secret, things quickly go downhill as humanity's future is placed on the shoulders of a single gaggle of teenagers. *** I hear a sigh from the other side of the door, "Miss. Chaucer, you have a wonderful opportunity here, are you going to take it or not?" Now, I am seriously confused, "Opportunity?" She takes advantage of my befuddled state and shoves the door open. Shit. The corners of her mouth pull up, and it's so unnatural, it takes me a moment to realize she's smiling. Major plastic surgery? Probably. Click. Did she just lock the door? She locked the door! I spring towards the house phone, dusty from years of doing absolutely nothing, so I can call the police. I don't make it. Halfway there, I trip on my own pant-leg and face plant on the floor. The woman steps over me and retrieves the phone. She looks at it as if it's a foreign object, "This won't be necessary. All I want to do is talk to you." For some reason, instead of screaming, I stay silent. She smiles and pulls out a chair from the kitchen table for me to sit on. When I don't sit, she says, "If you want to know what's going on, then sit." I think about it for a moment. She hasn't hurt me yet, and I have to admit, I am quite curious as to what's going on. So, call me stupid, but I sit down. "I am from a space organization that protects civilians from . . . outside threats." *** Beautiful cover made by @mahana258! HR: 203 in science fiction (5/8/18) Completed on August 15th, 2018 (Indian independence day!) *******This is not a zombie novel

Ella Sanders is the most popular girl at school which is a huge accomplishment when you are surrounded by people that can do anything from draining you of your energy to granting your greatest wish. Ella goes into her last year expecting to go through testing and on to placement following the rules and keeping control of the school. Something that she must do without a power of her own (or so she thinks). After Ella's given a new perspective, she scrambles to sort through her already complicated emotions about the boys that keep saving her and to untangle the lies that she lost herself in. Nothing is certain but Ella knows that she must do everything except what she's supposed to. *** "How do you get out so easily?" "I climb out the window." "Very funny but you are 60 stories in the air. You'd die if you fell from that height." "Good thing I haven't fallen yet." *** Completed✔️ #616 in Mystery/Thriller
