**********
Alice Proctor's world is dictated by two vital aspects- survival and revenge. A linguist for Earth's insurgence, and the one of the last survivors of an invading imperialist force, she has dedicated her life to ridding earth of a far superior race known as the Oriehns.
When she is taken by a rogue test subject with ulterior motives in mind, Alice aids the rebel force the only way she can- accepting the alleged foreign ancestry forced upon her to gather crucial intel while aboard the Oriehn Lunar Station.
But just as Alice thinks she knows what she wants, a month living amongst the welcoming culture of the Oriehns and an impending siege on the mothership has a way of twisting her opinions.

Displaced (Book One)
Chevelle Donahue thought going into work would be just like any other boring day at the mall. Sure, there was her annoying co-worker Wicken Sanders, and a promotional visit from teen heartthrob Timber Hudson, to watch and keep her entertained. But who was she kidding? Working retail was lame no matter what happened. A terrorist attack changes everything - an attack from aliens of all things. The patrons are given two options: comply or else. Complying means giving in to a new set of rules and changing her entire life. "Or else" means she has no chance of going home again. She must figure out the truth behind why the aliens are holding everyone hostage. In doing so, she risks her chance at freedom - but by the time she learns what's really happening, she might not want it.Complete

For Cheyenne Walker, Chief Petty Officer aboard the Cambridge, a USS destroyer, the arrival of the Consortium is just one more obstacle to finishing her final tour of duty and getting home to her kids.

Cheyenne wakes to find herself aboard the Corelean, a Consortium Medical Evacuation ship. Floating in a medi-tank, she wonders if they really can't repair the wreck of her body, whether these newcomers are friends or foes and most importantly, will she ever make it back to children?Complete
Turing Test
In the year 2150, emotions are a forgotten language. Feelings, outlawed. Humanity, reduced to an unfeeling, cold existence under the iron rule of The Regimen. But deep in the monochrome labyrinth of this dystopian world, a glitch emerges in the matrix of perfection. Cora, a brilliant government engineer responsible for maintaining the emotion-suppressing technology, experiences an unexpected malfunction. Suddenly, she is overwhelmed by a wave of foreign sensations - emotions. An all-consuming vortex of joy, fear, anger, and a deep-seated love for her fellow engineer, Eli. In a world stripped of color, Eli is an enigma. A member of a burgeoning underground rebellion, he hides a powerful secret - a genetic mutation that makes him immune to emotion suppressants. Eli has known the pain and pleasure of feelings all his life. Now, he becomes Cora's compass in her chaotic new reality, guiding her through the wild storm of emotions and introducing her to a hidden world fighting for emotional freedom. Cora and Eli are drawn together by a bond neither can explain, a shared emotional journey that stands in quiet defiance against The Regimen's frigid rule. As Cora navigates the thrilling highs and devastating lows of human emotion, a choice looms - return to a life devoid of feelings, or risk everything for the rebellion and the tantalizing promise of emotional freedom. --------------- A 10 part seriesComplete
