White Crystal Butterflies | Wattys 2021 Shortlist | ✔
❖ Interstellar pilot and ex-adventurer Alex Gallegos must keep their team safe on an icy moon as sentient storms threaten to repeat the tragedy that ended their last career. ❖ Everyone in the United Inhabited Solar Systems (for some reason, UIS for short) knows to stay away from Mahaha. The icy moon is notorious for failed probe landings and research missions that end in tragedy: the only people to ever venture to its surface needed rescuing after just two weeks. When a prestigious research group decides they want a turn, they ask Alex Gallegos to lead the team. Perfectly qualified and haunted by their past, Alex accepts, hoping to make up for old mistakes and get just a little further from the earth they've left behind. Two months into the seven-month mission, the team is struggling with discontent, damaged equipment, and blizzards acting less and less like normal weather. As Mahaha moves out of range of help and the storms take on a more malicious character, Alex must face the one foe they could never have prepared for. Mahaha may or may not be alive. ❖❖❖ Complete.

Mild Mannered
“The beginning of the beginning. The genesis of great things. An origin story.” Paul Pritchard just graduated from college, master's degree in his hand, and ready to start his new life. The problem is...he's already struggling to find a job. With the prospects of living in a basement apartment, eating ramen for every meal, Paul finds the real world a bit intimidating. That is, until a strange man named Nathan David approaches him with a job opportunity with his company: the Wyndham-Hart Group, an organization that has spent decades shielding the world at large of the existence of “persons with powers” – the politically correct term for superheroes. While a handful of Wyndham-Hart operatives are out in the open with their own comic books and cartoon series, like the legendary gun-toting badass Stronghold, the majority of persons with powers walk among us, under the watchful eye of the company – and the conglomerate simply known as The Agency. Under the direct supervision of the beautiful (and sardonic) Quinn Feldman, Paul is thrust into “on-the-job training” as Stronghold's personal liaison. While assisting him in this case, all arrows quickly point to Chapter Zero: a mysterious and dangerous chemical compound that draws the attention of both Wyndham-Hart operatives and the shady characters they're trying to stop. Unfortunately, one such character is Thaddeus Bell, a rogue Wyndham-Hart operative who reappears after living nearly thirty years off the grid, and is now, as it seems, out for blood. With the pressure surmounting, Paul, Stronghold, and the rest of Wyndham-Hart are on a race against time before Chapter Zero is unearthed and falls into the wrong hands...and before someone realizes Paul may be under-qualified for the job.Complete

Moon Bound - PART I & II - (Book 1 in the Original ROYAL HOWLERS Duology) ✔
*NOTE: THIS STORY HAS TWO PARTS IN ONE BOOK* In the werewolf fables told to their children, was a story--- a legend--- of a ruler--- a leader--- who would be born as the peace maker for their species. This leader would be the answer to a broken road, a 'Chosen One' who would provide a better future. Though it is a fable, just merely a story for bedtime to werewolf children, there was faith in it. There was hope such a legendary hero would be born and save them. And then the time had come, when a child---a boy---was born at Twilight--- the hour of the Moon Goddess--- and bore the marking of the Deity, sealing his fate; and everything---and everyone--- that twines with it. ***WARNING: MATURE CONTENT*** This has two parts and I decided to keep it all in one book instead of breaking it up in two. Honorable Mentions: FEB 2018: FIRST PLACE WINNER FOR @UNDISCOVEREDWOLVES BOOK OF THE YEAR (20K - 50K)Complete
