A man afraid of his own soul!
Seeking revenge for the death of a friend ten long years ago, Major Jake Nanden has pursued his own personal demons with an almost religious fervour through life and through battle.
He is a soldier so highly decorated that his fame reaches far beyond the desolate moon Io where he is stationed. His victories in the Jupiter Wars are hollow though, for he is a man scared of his own soul.
His life seems to be a trap from which he cannot escape. His is the Replicant Company, and replicants are despised by all.
Please suggest alternative actors for the cast if you can think of any.

Hearts of Delmar 2... ( 2 many Nicoles)
Now deeply in love and happily ever-uh, happily ever for about 2 months...Vinn and Nicole's marriage has truly blossomed. With Kraken dead and the new laws in place, Delmar M44 is a heaven on moon. Well...except most of that. Nicole wakes up tied to a chair staring down the snout of a very not-dead Kraken with a hell of a resurrection story proving that in a world where cloning technology exists, nobody is truly dead if someone wealthy enough wants you back, but despite Osirian and human cloning being an exact science, it seems there are some unforeseen problems with the mixed species clones. A zombie Kraken with an Evil Nicole by his side threatens and blackmails Vinn and other Nicole, as politics rears its ugly head again, finding that the laws are still very much broken on this little moon. An undead monster struggles with the question of "if he has a soul", and can he change who he was, while Stockholm syndrome comes out to play. Nicole has to face her deepest fear, her literal cloned self who's inexplicably banging the monster they spent all of book 1 killing, and the only solution is that someone has to sacrifice their life for the good of the others, and this time they have to fight a god to do it. Ancient evil rises to shows it's true form, a corrupt shadow government breaks down, the gods cannot help you anymore, and Nicole once again faces a unique problem...what the hell to do with the other Nicole. Evil doppelganger, lost soul just trying to fit in, or the only friend who truly understands her? The only way to find out, is to trust and turn her back, hoping not to have it stabbed by herself.Complete
Prototype Dorian
Eighteen-year-old cadet Lara Lorensky has one goal: to win the Selection, the only way people on Earth can ascend to NovaTopia, a utopia-like space shuttle orbiting the planet. Unfortunately, her longtime rival, Morgan Sánchez, also has the same goal--and their almost undefeated record in practices is Lara's biggest obstacle to victory. When an unexpected terrorist attack destroys Morgan's cyber arm, Lara's chances to win are significantly increased. But... what is the point of winning if her rival is not in their top condition? Plagued by guilt and a feeling she does not quite understand yet, Lara decides to help Morgan find a cyberlimb mechanic. As she ventures outside her sheltered bubble, Lara realizes that everything she was taught was a lie, including her identity. Perhaps the utopia she was fighting for all her life was also an illusion. Together, Lara and Morgan have a new goal: to find out the truth of Lara's identity--and the truth behind NovaTopia. {Part I COMPLETED!

Approx. 78000 words Also available for download at Smashwords (www.smashwords.com/books/view/929789 Background: When I was 12, I started reading a book that alludes me now, but I would love to remember what it was! There was a boy, in a cave...crystals were involved...it inspired me to start writing Crystal Guardian (then called Space Pirates - changed to avoid comparison to the children's show!) I'm a slow writer...I stop and start, and reedit. This novel looks nothing like the Space Pirates it came from! I didn't finish until I was 19. Before I started university to study writing...so it is flawed, but I look back on it fondly. Probably heavily inspired by Star Wars...oops.Complete
Goddess of Discord
In the year 2125, truth is a variable and chaos is the only constant. A cryptic oracle-astrophysicist on the remote Eris Station has an apocalyptic vision and whispers a single word - "Sraknova" - triggering a chain reaction that threatens to rewrite reality itself. Back on Earth, washed-up journalist Orwell Matthew becomes the centerpiece of a quantum conspiracy after a routine interview with a senator ends in murder. As his world implodes, the brightest minds of a generation are hurled into the brutal selection process of the Nova Foundation. In the shadows, General MDK of GOES plays lives like poker chips while corporate directors wage a cold war for control and forbidden technology. All paths, secrets, and nightmares converge on one name: Sraknova. As sabotage and experiments escalate, time and identity begin to fracture: entangled particles defy causality, telemetry violates relativity, paranoia spreads like a virus. The Palace - part collective unconscious, part extradimensional mind-labyrinth - starts to tether fates, memories, and ruins, as every dialogue pulses with tension over free will, meaning, and cosmic absurdity. Goddess of Discord isn't your typical space opera. Fragmented, polyphonic, razor-sharp, it blends investigation, dark humor, brutal introspection, and existential warfare. Beauty is found in disorder; the true protagonist is collapse itself - scientific, social, and deeply personal. For readers who crave cerebral sci-fi, quantum weirdness, power games, and unforgettable characters unafraid of sarcasm or symbolic violence. If you enjoyed Children of Time, The Quantum Thief, Diaspora, or Dark, prepare for something stranger. In a future where truth is negotiable and the collective unconscious can be hacked, the real question isn't "who's in control?" - but "who still believes control exists?"Complete
