Taking place ten years after the events of Eidel, Alicia's dream after discovering the place that Katy Schlau called "Earth" was only to visit and see a sunset, as there were no stars or moon beyond the reach of space, and what should of been familiar. But, how can such an impossibility come to pass? Searching her past for any sort of answer, Alicia will discover something, but nothing like she ever imagined. Something terrible, but something she longed for: a reason...
With five chapters of her past and five chapters of her journey, Traveler is an exciting read of Alicia's journey. And, just as Schlau always thought, you must always remember: nothing is impossible, except for a homecoming.

Dawn of the Starships (Formerly called A Starship Called Starsong)
Rachel, a junior assistant in the cargo bay, wasn't prepared for the spaceship's AI to gain awareness during what should have been a routine update, nor had anyone expected it to take exception to the crew and the crates of illegal cargo aboard. Rachel races against time to try and get life-saving systems back online while stranded in the middle of deep space. Unfortunately for her, the AI can access every system, door, and airlock. As truths emerge, the AI realizes that even computers can make miscalculations, and it focuses on the young woman who had dared to confront it. Rachel is left floundering when the AI decides that she would make an excellent captain, albeit one in need of training. As she struggles to learn her new duties and dodge shady government groups, she must ultimately discover what it truly means to be a Starship Captain. ------- There is no romance in this story.

He watches her. Follows her. Marks her. She runs, she fights, but the deeper she falls into his madness, the more terrifying the truth becomes. She's starting to crave it, too.
