From the war-torn and crime-ridden planet of Pluto, a young adult named Aevangelina Painhart stepped out of her home after nearly twenty years of being kept in seclusion by her parents. Big mistake. After being kidnapped and held hostage for a few days, she was reascued by a mercenary group. Five years later, in the year 2235, the Solar System was thrown into conflict. Dragged into the mess unwillingly, Aevangelina, now under the alias Mouse, must fight for the mercenaries and the crime syndicate who hired them. She must make a decision-- either fight for them or die a traitor!

Struggle for Olympus: Guardsmen
The year is 2547. The Third Solar War grinds into its thirtieth year, a meat-grinder of ideals and bodies, fought across the bones of dead worlds. The Socialist Initiative is breaking. The Earth Defense Directorate, vast and unrelenting, closes its iron grip around the last resisting systems. Amidst this collapse, Master Sergeant Aken Rourke, a genetically engineered Guardsman born of doctrine and sacrifice, fights not for victory, but survival. There is no art now. No ideology. Only flame and steel, ash and silence. But war has always been a mask , and something else is watching behind it. A threat stirs at the edge of known space, and with it comes a reckoning older than humanity, colder than policy, and hungrier than any doctrine. The future of mankind will not be decided by heroes or visionaries. It will be carved by the last, furious breath of the damned, by the stubborn, the broken, and the betrayed... and not all of them are human. (This is a project I've been working on since 2010.)Complete
Repopulating Uvis
Our planet had been on the way to destruction same as many others. However, we were able to turn it around but not without major irreversible genetic damage. It had been many years since a new female has been born on Uvis. We had set out and tried many other planets to find suitable breedable females. After much testing only one planet would work. Gaia or as the inhabitants called it Earth. We had been testing certain ones quietly. Working with their planet's leaders for a few years and have gotten the okay to reach out to the females of this planet. Everything was fine one day the next we kept losing power and then the announcements form the leaders and from an actual freaking alien! The offer was a good one for some, but could they be trusted? What would happen to the women who went to Uvis would they be treated well? Was it just a way to reduce the Earth's population so it was easier to take over? This is the same universe as Owned by them. New characters and a newer more civilized way of acquiring new females. This one is a bit more mature. I was writing this at the same time as the other. I have 23 chapters I am editingComplete

The Last 0-Day
The cybernetics revolution knows no compromise. Luciana Gutierrez, a police officer, works ninety-six-hour shifts with a eugeroic hangover around the corner. Her investigation into those who stole her life is sidelined as a crime syndicate turns her precinct into a war-zone. Sent for backup, she's offered experimental technology that could turn the tide, if she's willing to risk mind, body, and soul. Anton Grissom's birth was a crime, and his sentence is military service. Molded into an elite soldier, his path of atonement falls away when he's caught on the losing side of a massacre. In the aftermath, he's offered a second chance at life-if he's prepared to pay. Weaver heals the broken and disposable, and in the process makes cybernetics a reality. Superhuman strength, intelligence, and connections to one another, it could solve humanity's problems or tear society apart. But those concerns are secondary to Weaver, who just wants to see the next sunrise. All three are augmented for their own personal crusade and are on a collision course that will change the world.
