From the age of sixteen, you are caged. Death takes it's grasp on your wrist. And all you can do is become a slave, or watch your life tick away.
Providence, a world governing organisation, promises a utopia for all citizens, but to ensure that, they result to death threats.
Work for Providence.
Or die.
Chronos Counting is written from the perspective of a young teen, Dan, and follows the choices he makes as Providence unleashes their evil schemes - which threatens the lives of his hard-working parents.
Providence isn't all it makes itself out to be.
And what will Dan do once he realises that the watch isn't the only thing connecting him to Providence?

After five years in an isolated facility run by the American government with other kids like her, Skye is released into the nightmare beyond the barbed wire walls to trial a safe route to Washington DC.

She's unprotected and isolated because of who she is, but she's one of the most dangerous things out there. With death waiting around the corner at every turn, Skye's group focuses on their main goal: the capital. Yet, this isn't as straightforward as they thought, and they begin wonder if they'll live to make it out the other end. [60'000 - 70'000 words]Complete

Star Kissed
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.Complete

SHUNOGAI ( ARCHIVED )
This is the archived version of Shunogai, still ongoing but not top priority. There are no chosen ones. No destined saviors. Only survivors of a system that collapsed and kept pretending it worked. In a universe torn apart by the Void, fragments of reality remain- stitched together by desperate gods, rewritten laws, and broken people. Shukan Ashikaga is one of them. Framed for the death of his family. Haunted by power he doesn't understand. Once bonded to Chronos, a Shunogai who chose law over loyalty, Shukan now walks with the shadow of a power that no longer chooses him. Now he leads a squad of outcasts through timelines that shouldn't exist, hunted by things that don't follow cause and effect. But something deeper is waking. Something older than the Void. Something that watches every step like a reader already halfway through the book. The rules are changing. The glyphs are whispering. And Shukan may not be a protagonist. He might be the reason it all ends. ✦ SHUNOGAI ✦ Rewrite the law. Break the fate. Burn the timeline.
