Ever since Death got trapped in the mortal realm three years ago, nonstop famines, wars, and plagues have ravaged Earth. Shiori, a budding scientist with a love of snakes and a loathing for small talk, doesn't really care. She can deal with the constant pandemics, bombs, and spider/iguana/fruit fly/crocodile plagues, so long as it doesn't involve socializing with strangers -- the thing she hates most in the world.
Too bad her new roommate is hot, suave, and super chatty. Even worse, he seems to have decided Shiori is the only one with the power to send Death back to the underworld -- and he'll stop at nothing to make it happen!

Command Me To Be Well [Completed]
[Ex Map to Anywhere] [LONGLIST ONC2020] When humanity is threatened by extinction, two enemies have to work together. She's the last Seer, with the most painful job imaginable. He's the commander of the last human outpost, with the heaviest responsibility to bear. She's totally shameless, respects nothing and no one. He's respected by everyone else as a god amongst men. No wonder they'd gladly kill each other. But they can't. They have to save mankind. And, surprisingly, each other. ~32K words ~~~ Open Novella Contest 2020 - Longlisted Featured: - WP Romance's Worlds Apart reading list - WP Fantasy's Romantasy readig list ~~~ Reviews: "The romance in the book isn't too cheesy, which is very unlike other romance books, but in a good way." The Belles Lettres Awards "Absolutely mind blowing! The plot is just as well executed as it seems to have been planned, though only the author can really know that. It truly is a science-fiction adventure!" The Mono Awards "I absolutely love the banter between Auberon and the Seer. And I love the concept. It's very well thought out and executed even better than I thought it could have. Something I would definitely recommend to others. Love it. Absolutely love it." The Sakura Awards "The very first word, emotional mapping had drawn me in from the very start. The plot was very intriguing and it was so mysterious from the start. It was very enjoyable."

Down Under
|WATTYS 2022 WINNER - HORROR| Shawn, a convicted criminal, never thought she'd see the sun again, let alone call another star system her home. When she's offered an out from her prison sentence, she embarks on a dangerous interstellar expedition along with 18 of Earth's most intelligent criminals. Their task is to set up a base on a supposedly habitable planet and prepare it for colonization. Although the planet has liquid water and a breathable atmosphere, it is believed to host only microbial life. However, upon arriving, Shawn and the rest of the colonists learn that assumption was grossly incorrect. In a brutal attack from rampaging wildlife, everyone but Shawn and four other colonists are killed. The five survivors retreat to the cavernous network beneath the ground seeking safety, but they soon come to a terrible discovery. These caves aren't ordinary caves, and they are no safer down under than they were on the surface. [][][] This was originally my entry for the 2021 Open Novella Contest, and it received an honorable mention! It has now been expanded into a full length novel. I used prompt number 53: "When wildlife starts rampaging, all the humans are forced underground. However, they come to a terrible discovery that being underground is no safer than being on the surface."Terminé

The worst thing is that she has no memory of how she came here or who or what she is. Unable to remember anything she trusts the first person she meets. Why can she do things she knows humans shouldn't be able to? Was she a killer? Most importantly who are the Devils?

Sanctuary
Sanctuary. That was what the quarantine dome was supposed to be, a place of refuge from the N-Gel and the deadly Neoplague they unleashed on the world. But we aren't safe here. Senna is uprooted from her rural life in the outer dome when her mother agrees to marry the President of Sanctuary. It was supposed to be a Cinderella story, but Senna can't stand the health and status obsessed city. Her only escape comes from repairing an antique piece of wireless tech, an endeavor that is seemingly hopeless due to the interference that reduced such tech useless after the invasion. Senna believes that if she can get the device to work, she can use it to contact the life she left behind. However, it isn't her old life she reaches when she gets the device to power on. Instead she catches the SOS of a little girl who claims to be held captive in the toxic world outside of the dome. The girl offers a reward for her rescue-the cure for the plague that forced humanity into quarantine and took Senna's father from her.
