Alpha-Gal is speculative fiction novel, like Daniel Suarez's "Kill Decision" or Rachel Sparks' "Resistant": set in the modern world, showing the terrifyingly plausible consequences of real-world biotechnology.
The story is inspired by a real-world tick-borne disease named Alpha-gal. Victims who eat red meat suffer severe hives, vomiting, choking, and swelling of face, hands, and throat. Some victims are triggered by touching leather, and even smelling smoke from barbecuing meat. It has no cure, and lasts for years or life. The perfect weapon for a vegan terrorist. And, the perfect foundation for an action scifi thriller novel with broad appeal.

The Refugee's Mate (Werewolf Story)
Liam Forsythe was not dealt an easy hand. On the day he was born, his dad, family and their entire wolf pack were massacred by a rival. The only reason his mother even survived it's because she got into labor moments before the strike happened. With no family or mate left, his mom was forced to move into another pack to raise him. Growing up, Liam got into a lot of trouble. And even upon turning 18, he didn't find his mate anywhere which only aggravated the situation. One day, trouble proves too much for him as he got mixed up with the Alpha's son, who all but kills him in retaliation. Desperate, his mom does the unthinkable and apply for sanctuary in the oddest of places, moving them both into a new town and pack. Liam becomes a refugee, running for his life in fear of his enemy showing up to finish the job. Now he and his mom must remake their lives at all costs and pray he can be safe from danger. Little does he know, the surprise of his life is yet to come. Warning: contains gay sexual activities and violence. Spin off of "The Orphan's Mate". Can be read as a standalone (but I recommend reading this first to avoid any spoilers).Complete

The Island
"This is The Island, a prison designed for minors like me- too young to be executed, too old to be reformed, and too much of a stain on humanity to let exist. It was 'the answer' to the growing crime rate resulting from a world that was falling apart. The details evade me, but there is one thing I know. The water doesn't seem as scary as it did before." When Jordyn wakes up in the middle of a tropical forest in the mouth of a cat too big to be real, she decides this isn't how she wants to die. The Island has other plans, though. It was designed to kill her, and it will bring out every gun in the arsenal to do so. Her life becomes a game of survival from the mutant and venomous animals, severe temperature changes, and impossible weather scenarios that exist in this government manufactured prison. The twist? She has no idea who she is, where she came from, or why she committed first-degree arson. In this mixture of "The Hunger Games" and "Maze Runner", Jordyn has to unravel the truth before nature kills her- or die not knowing.

Fluttering Darkness
In the 1960's, scientists manufactured a hyper virus that modified a person's DNA to the point that they became more than just human, and are able to modify certain aspects of nature. Around 40 years later, in the year 2001, Lucas Hansen finds himself in the thick of a prejudice struggle between HV's and humans. After Lucas discovers that he is an HV himself, he meets a girl named Rachel who possesses a virus that can generate flames out of thin air. They are soon on the run from the authorities who are trying to kill them on government orders, all the while making their way to the safe haven of a mysterious city that Rachel is from. Action, secrets, adventure, and survival are all prevalent in Fluttering Darkness as Lucas and Rachel journey to the city of HV's. ***** The official theme of the book is Dreams, by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, so there's a link to that over to the side. I don't know why, but whenever I hear it, it just gets me all excited about the series. Hope you think so too!Complete
The Bright Room | 18+
She came home for a weekend. She never quite made it back. Samantha is a habitual overachiever-brilliant, driven, and running on empty. A visit to her old best friend was supposed to be a reset. Instead, one night tears her life apart and leaves her one breath from becoming something she doesn't even believe in. The man who saves her has his own methods, a cure much worse than the disease. Cleansed with light, stripped of everything, Sam loses herself layer by agonizing layer, and wakes up in the Bright Room as a mystery: to her captor, and to herself. The only thing she's sure she's not is a victim. But reclaiming her life means navigating impossible terrain: a captor whose ruthless competence is matched only by how broken he is; a debt to him she can't balance against the trauma he caused; and a thing waking inside her that may be more dangerous than the infection itself. What develops between them is Beauty and the Beast, followed to its natural conclusion: two beasts, containing each other. For you if you love: women who can turn intelligence, trauma, and weakness into a weapon; moral ambiguity with no safe exits; psychological horror that earns its weight; dark romance that takes the darkness seriously; slow burn... in every sense of the word. Not for you if: you need your protagonists sympathetic, your villains clear, or your darkness decorative. This story does not look away when bad things happen.
