It is the year 2034. A devastating war has ravaged America. The government has collapsed and Ex-Navy Seal, John Hemingway and his twenty four year-old daughter, Claire struggle to survive under the tyranny of a brutal regime, the Glory Revolution Alliance. Driven by near starvation and the allure of freedom, they flee across the post-apocalyptic wasteland of fallen America with the GRA's top henchman, a sociopath named Khalif Miles nipping at their hills.
The journey is fraught with snares and unpredictabilities at every turn. Together, the father and daughter duo endure the harsh elements of nature, forage off a barren land, and fight off rapists, thieves, and wild animals, all while trying to put the fragments of their broken relationship back together.
The stakes are raised when John and Claire are taken captive by the GRA's arch enemy, the Horsemen of Justice, and force John, an Ex-Navy Seal into a suicide mission that could spark a revolution to take back the country. But when Claire escapes, she gets caught in the middle of Miles and the Horsemen Guerrilla warfare style fighting. She must rely on the the training her deceased mother, Sasha gave her to survive against them both and reunite with her father.

Love and Touchdowns (OCxKylieJenner)
Laken Maleko has spent her life being told she doesn't fit. Too much. Not enough. Wrong lane. Wrong box. She never listened. In her Samoan family, Laken's intersex identity was never a flaw. It was a blessing. A sign of balance. Of strength. Of being touched by the gods. She was raised with discipline by her football-playing father and grounded by her culture, taught to stand tall in who she is long before the world tried to tell her otherwise. From the islands of Hawaiʻi to the heart of UCLA football, Laken carved her own path. As the first intersex woman to play men's college football, she didn't ask for permission. She showed up, did the work, and let her performance speak. Now the NFL Draft is approaching, and history is no longer distant. Laken is on the edge of becoming the first intersex woman selected in the first round. Every rep matters. Every moment counts. The pressure is heavy, especially when the outside world sees her identity as controversy instead of truth. Then there's Kylie Jenner. Public life, private contradictions, and a connection neither of them planned for. What begins as proximity turns into something harder to ignore. But attraction gets complicated when one of you lives under constant scrutiny and the other is protecting everything she's built. Love and Touchdowns is not a fairytale. It's a story about identity, ambition, culture, and desire. About carrying pride without apology. About choosing yourself without closing your heart. And about what happens when the life you were raised to honor collides with the one the world refuses to understand.Complete

By 2057, Earth will be a shadow of its former self. Decades of unbridled consumption and climate negligence have left the earth almost desolate. Water, oil, and lush land are relics of the past, valued more than money. All nations have collapsed under the weight of famine, disease, and internal upheaval, leaving only two superpowers: the United States and Russia. They were once reluctant allies but now find themselves embroiled in a deadly, global fight for the planet's few remaining resources. While the population fights to survive in enormous urban wastelands, both regimes use advanced technologies and covert tactics in a desperate push for absolute dominion. During the pandemonium, 17-year-old Caleb Morrow, a scrappy survivor from the ruins of Canada, is conscripted into the US military. Meanwhile, on the other side, Elena Morozova, an 18-year-old Russian conscript hailing from the ruins of Norway, ascends the ranks in the Russian military. As this conflict between the 2 last countries left spirals out of control, the past suddenly begins to rise from the ashes leaving questions to arise in the thoughts of many soldiers on both sides including Caleb and Elena that, if answered, reveals a dark and unsettling truth. Scarcity is a story of curiosity, critical thinking, corruption, and trust in a collapsing world. Make sure to keep your rifle tight as you explore a dark truth... *This story includes mature themes such as: war crimes and heavy violence* *Perspectives will continuously shift between characters in this story* *All pictures are not real sketches*Complete
The Debt Collectors War
Ellie is a soldier in a world without governments. A generation ago, a series of financial crises caused most of the world’s governments to collapse, and left many of the people in those countries in terrible personal debt. Since then, the worst debtor nations have been under military occupation by the troops of the debt recovery corporations, and the worst debtor of all is Měi-guó, the old United States. Ellie is serving in the Afghan Police Action when she receives bad news from home. She is told the daughter she hasn’t seen in years is dead. She flies home from war, upset, to do what needs to be done, but once there she finds out all is not as it seems. Ellie’s daughter is alive and unhurt. She is being held by of one of the many debt-recovery corporations. Held, for leverage, to make Ellie do the corporation a favour. Ellie’s daughter will be returned unharmed if Ellie does as they wish. The son of a company director is lost somewhere in the wilderness of post-debt-restructuring America, and hasn't been seen for three days. The company wants Ellie to go and find the kid, and Ellie doesn't know if she can. The one rule she's stuck to all her working life is to never to go to America, but now she might have to. She will have to, if she wants to save the daughter she hasn't seen in years. This is fairly dark and gritty near-future dystopian SF. ----- Debt Collectors War is now on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QZG1RHI/ Also on iTunes and B&N and other places.

The Analyst's Nightmare (Mission Impossible 4)
"This message will self destruct in 5 seconds." He turned to look at me, a quizzical expression covering his features. "No, no, no, no! Don't give me that look I know what that means!" I said, defensively. What is it that one does hours before when the Kremlin's intact but once you leave having failed your original objective, it implodes causing the entire world to heap its destruction onto your shoulders, in turn making Russian agents track you down over a series of nations, borders and buildings which simultaneously reveals your actual heritage and the whereabouts of your Mother of whom, you'd been lead to believe died a long time ago? Nope didn't think you had an answer to that. And frankly, neither do I. I manage to get myself so caught up in much of this tangible work that I don't even have a plan of action. I just go with the flow I guess. It's either that or I'm incredibly talented and charismatic. I personally, think it's the latter but I'll leave that decision up to you. The IMF will stop at nothing to get the answers even if the rest of the organisation has been disavowed, having had Ghost Protocol initiated. But that begs the question, can a certain analyst aid them in their efforts? Or is he too, hiding something which goes deeper than anyone initially thought? Join Miles and the rest (or remaining) members of the IMF as they travel the world to stop a nuclear explosion from damaging humanity...
