A plane that has lost its fuel and left its passengers unharmed but isolated. The obvious problem stirs up disputes between the passengers where logic is overruled by humanity's deepest instincts; fear. Against it, nothing will prevail. Lost in an unknown forest together with strangers without any way to contact civilisation perhaps death is to prefer to the destiny of slowly starving to death.

Seven Survivors
Going on a school trip abroad can be described with many juxtaposing thoughts, but should never be linked to fatalities or injury. Juniper Pearl Foxx always had a sheltered, mundane life, when a terrible tragedy occurred and left her stuck in the Amazon Rainforest with near-strangers. With her friend's dead, no food or water and death lurking at every turn, she's sure her time has come and she will die (nearly) alone. But then the boy she was sure always hated her rose to the occasion and saved her from herself, making her realise she must never stop fighting. Together, will they be able to connect the group of survivors, and escape the jungle? *completed and edited but there may still be some mistakes*Complete
The Winged
Surviving can be difficult when you're only a few inches tall. Fanged beasts see you as their prey, every creature is bigger than you, and the world seems to work against small things. Not to mention the struggles of getting from place to place... but the worst of it all? Humans. Once a year, every year, summer sweeps over the forest. The sun warms the leaves and the damp melts away until the world of the Winged flourishes. Those warm months are when survival becomes the hardest. Drawn by the beauty of the forest, humans of all kind invade the already dangerous home of the small Winged people. Fear of these monsters is shared throughout the tribes. One sacred piece of advice is known: avoid humans at all costs. They know only how to destroy and hurt. ___ Despite the protests of her close friend, Azure accepts a mission that takes her from the safety of her tribe. Things begin well despite her trepidation of the approaching summer months. That is, until she falls right into the hands of the very creatures she feared. ___ Completed! Beware of some crappy writing and stupid typos :0 Second part is on my account :) :)Complete
Shurak, book 2
My crew and I take the jobs we need to survive in a world overrun by aliens. We fly a stolen ship that once trafficked women-us included. Now, we make our own rules and do whatever it takes to stay free. My latest job? Rehabilitate a Zohra-a towering alien locked away in prison, meant to be tamed into usefulness for his captors. Then I meet him-my job, a mute Zohra. And that's when everything goes sideways. Rescuing him wasn't in the plan, yet now we're on the run, supposedly relying on each other... except I'm the one doing all the work. He's frustrating. Completely useless. A liability, really. And yet, for some ridiculous reason, I just can't leave him behind.Complete
The Superspecies Two: A Haunting Sci-Fi Horror Mystery
A young girl is brutally abducted by a bloodthirsty grizzly, forcing a group of scientists to mop up a genetic engineering operation that is out of control, threatening any and all who enter the woods. One question remains: are the animals really dangerous for no reason at all or does their enhanced intelligence simply make them recognize something damning about human nature that needs to be understood before it's too late? Harmonious coexistence with an emerging highly-intelligent species competing for dominance over the earth or total destruction of humans and animals alike? Those are the two options now. Two groups of scientific researchers are sent to a forest where bear attacks are frequent in order to study what is happening only to find themselves attacked and outsmarted (in part) by the animals themselves. Two environmental action groups also find themselves at odds over the fate of the dangerously genetically-enhanced creatures. One group wants to see the beasts wiped out completely and the other wants to preserve them at all costs, even at the expense of human life. The two sides are locked in an impasse, unable to resolve their differences in an amiable way which leads to ever-increasing tension, animosity, kidnapping and murder. Entire forests are quarantined in an attempt to control and contain the beasts but soon holes are discovered in the operation as key players start disappearing in addition to animals eluding their hunters, fighting back and changing the field of battle to their own terms. Ambushing their pursuers on more than one occasion. As the "pro-beast" and "pro-human" sides chase to their own interests with the unfortunate bears caught in the middle (struggling to establish themselves in a human dominated world), the animals learn more and more to rely on their expanding awareness to survive and thrive in an entirely new world...to evolution shattering effect!Complete

The Devil's Colony
A plane full of the world's most ruthless killers is en route to a secret prison when disaster strikes. The aircraft crashes on an uncharted island, a vast and untamed land ruled by a lost civilization-one that was once English but has long since descended into tribal warfare, ritualistic violence, and a code of survival far older than any law. Stranded and hunted, the criminals-once the predators of society-now find themselves as prey. Cut off from the outside world, they must navigate a brutal new reality where their cunning, savagery, and killer instincts may be the only things keeping them alive. But the island is more than just wild-it has its own history, its own laws, and its own gods. And the tribe that calls it home does not take kindly to invaders. Among them is Kane Storm, a man whose reputation as a killer precedes him. But as the days turn to weeks and the island strips away the illusion of control, the cracks in his ego and past begin to splinter and break. Faced with an enemy unlike any he has ever encountered, Kane must confront not just the dangers of the island, but the ghosts that haunt him. On this island, only the strongest will survive-but survival may cost more than just blood.
