Starfarers are professional space-traversing mercenaries with a go-get-'em attitude. For Jim and Liz, there are very few jobs they won't accept, so long as they get paid. However, when they accept their newest contract, the assassination of a high-value target, it isn't about the credits--it's about revenge. It should be an easy gig, but what Jim and Liz fail to realize is just how busy their target has been for the last six years.

I Don't Seem So Bright in a Well-Lit Room
"This book speaks to anyone with a neurodivergent brain, that may feel like an alien here on earth. I swear Browning made me laugh and cry and question reality...sometimes all in the same sentence." -JD Todd, author The universe is a very strange place. It will take even stranger heroes to save it. Potto is dim-witted, extremely forgetful and incredibly naïve. He wasn't always this way. Aye-Aye is devilishly shrewd and has boozed his way into a comfortable existence of incompetence and sleaze. How they ended up being two of the most wanted aliens in the galaxy is anyone's guess. Chased down by every oddball bounty hunter in the known universe, and befriended by a libidinous assassin, a fire-breathing reptilian, and a telepathic tree, their misadventures take them past Earth (the mall planet), to a floating sex circus, a planet of killer stuffed animals, an underground spaceship impound lot, and to a planet of reasonably priced bungalows. All while flying around in a ship powered by the brain waves of a psycho killer. A great prophecy proclaims that only "one of light, and one of dark" can save the universe from the dictatorship of The Node. That can't be Potto and Aye...Potto doesn't know what the word prophecy means, and neither know how to spell it. Part sci-fi epic, part absurd dark comedy, I Don't Seem So Bright in a Well-Lit Room is a comment on human behavior, depression, anxiety, and self-esteem. But way more fun than that sounds. So, do up your space seatbelts...it's going to be a bumpy ride. Despite the lack of potholes in space. (Sci-fi /Dark Humour/Absurd) *Completed! Enjoy!

Told in gripping first-person, this story thrusts readers into high-octane action and brutal combat, where every decision comes with lethal consequences. With its dark, gritty atmosphere and visceral violence, this tale is not for the faint-hearted, offering a raw, unflinching look at survival in a fractured universe crafted for an adult audience.Complete

Star Crew
In the far reaches of a distant future, humanity has long broken free from the confines of Earth. With the stars now within reach, colonies spread across planets, moons, and entire systems. Science and medicine have advanced beyond ancient limitations, and through the revolutionary CRISPER Program, human lifespans stretch far longer than ever before though mortality remains an inevitable truth. But with progress comes conflict. Newly discovered resources hidden throughout the galaxy ignite political tension and territorial greed. Old rivalries flare anew as factions, governments, and corporations clash for control of the wealth scattered among the stars. While countless citizens choose neutrality and cling to peaceful lives within the growing sprawl of civilization, not everyone avoids the chaos. For mercenaries, warlords, pirates, and scavengers, the universe is a battleground and a marketplace. Danger lurks behind every contract, every derelict ship, every shadowed asteroid belt. Yet for those willing to risk everything, the rewards are higher than ever. In this age of expansion and unrest, fortune favors the bold... and the desperate. Some fight for survival. Some fight for power. But many fight simply because in this new era, danger is money.
