THE RISKS
"You can't tell me there isn't something here worth risking everything for." [New Adult Apocalyptic Romance] Summary: There are some things that you can't outrun. That becomes all the more obvious when the world is ending, when there's nothing left but the feral creatures that were once people, consumed now by a virus that's made them cannibalistic and ravenous. It might just be easier to end it all, but Claire still has one last thing to fight for. Her younger sister. And she intends to keep her safe, no matter the cost. So, with no other options and her sister in tow, Claire ventures out into the dangers of this new, unforgiving world in search of safety, security, and answers to some long burning questions. The first two things -along with some new, unexpected questions- she finds in an unlikely place: a stranger who she's become indebted to. She has a feeling he can help her answer all her questions, if she can allow herself to fully trust him. Trust, she thinks, is a fragile thing. Humanity, a construct. Love, 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.
Fire Scarred *Un-Edited Version*

Caught between two boys, her new powers, an extra parent, and a disease ridden spirit crazy for power, she has to make some decisions she never thought she'd have to make.

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

Planet Omega
We all began on another planet, one that should have taken us all down with it when it burned up in a fiery rage. We had no business living longer than that. We certainly had no business colonizing elsewhere, murdering, ravaging, taking. It wasn't ours. Yet, we'd felt entitled, simply because it was there. Humans had always done that well, all throughout history - taking things that didn't belong to them. No matter the cost. "Run." Violence is in our blood, every single one of us descended from the millions of humans who'd dared survive after Earth could take no more of them. "Run now, and don't look back."Complete
