We are Skyples; people who were born and live in the Stratosphere following a NASA experiment to see if humans could live long-term in orbit. The original Skyples were born in our city from NASA scientists and other human volunteers. Skyples live in the Skyple Mothership, Skyopolis, which orbits the Earth. We live on something that humans would describe as a strange UFO. Our unique orbiting city is powered by access to the red sprites and blue jets that occur in the Stratosphere. This is the place it all started. We made friends, trusted our enemies, and ruined everything! Or so we thought. Little did we know that our world was about to change, but for the better... or for the worse?

Barry's life
Two people fall in love in unlikely circumstances. They have a lot of psychological issues and mistrusts in the order of things to prevent them from finding themselves and each other. I am a reader of crime novels and hard science fiction almost exclusively, and yet this story, which I have been writing for a long time, is a love story, I can't explain it even to myself. The characters will have to work through hardship and evolve to be able to surrender to the magical things around them and the flow of the universe and the love of other people. This story still is a work in progress, it has holes and it is to be continued

Skylar Chamberlain is 16 years old. She was born, and has lived in Jasper Nevada all her life. Sky has a track record for getting friends, and losing them just as fast. She also has a record for getting teased by everyone around her. Both have led to her nose diving into music, art and suicidal thoughts.

So when her attempt at suicide leads her to jumping off the edge of a cliff at the edge of jasper, can she really accept the fact that an alien with a ship saved her just because?

MINDSLIP
MINDSLIP is the catastrophe which hits the Earth at 8.15am GMT next Wednesday morning. It began six hundred and fifty years earlier when Betelgeuse fulfilled its long-held prophecy to turn supernova. The radiation, gamma rays and gravitational waves hit the Earth at the same time as a coronal mass ejection. The combined bombardment causes all creatures on the Earth to swap minds, leaving people in animals, animals in people, men in women and children in adults. The nightmare which follows becomes a social and economic catastrophe. Geoffrey Arnold becomes a key figure in the government catastrophe committee, formed to resolve the myriad issues raised by MINDSLIP. Power generation, the health service, farming, pay, pensions, education, the banking system and asset ownership spiral into chaos. In addition, Geoffrey must save his wife from an imminent premature death brought on by one of the MINDSLIP effects. MINDSLIP is a realistic, frightening and sometimes amusing work of imagination which explores how people and families react to the world being changed beyond recognition. Note: MINDSLIP had been acquired by a publisher who, regrettably, has now folded. Rather than put the original version up on Wattpad, I have decided to give it a considerable edit. I'd love to know what you think. The early chapters might disturb, but hopefully they will also make you think about how you would deal with Geoff, Andrea, Angus, Caroline or Allan's situations.
