In 2188, Earth faces inevitable destruction. A massive asteroid nicknamed "Abaddon" has been slingshotted onto a collision course with our home planet. The UNSI-IL HAWKING has been sent with a three man crew to land on the asteroid and retrieve samples from its surface, samples that will help to determine humanity's best hope of avoiding impact.  On the return trip, however, something goes terribly wrong- debris from the mammoth space rock ruptures the fuselage of the HAWKING, causing a devastating air leak. Rescue is on the way, but not enough oxygen remains to sustain the men stranded aboard. 

  Now, they must determine for themselves who will live and who will die, as someone must remain alive to complete the voyage.

❖ Interstellar pilot and ex-adventurer Alex Gallegos must keep their team safe on an icy moon as sentient storms threaten to repeat the tragedy that ended their last career. ❖ Everyone in the United Inhabited Solar Systems (for some reason, UIS for short) knows to stay away from Mahaha. The icy moon is notorious for failed probe landings and research missions that end in tragedy: the only people to ever venture to its surface needed rescuing after just two weeks. When a prestigious research group decides they want a turn, they ask Alex Gallegos to lead the team. Perfectly qualified and haunted by their past, Alex accepts, hoping to make up for old mistakes and get just a little further from the earth they've left behind. Two months into the seven-month mission, the team is struggling with discontent, damaged equipment, and blizzards acting less and less like normal weather. As Mahaha moves out of range of help and the storms take on a more malicious character, Alex must face the one foe they could never have prepared for. Mahaha may or may not be alive. ❖❖❖ Complete. Wattys 2021 Shortlister. Standalone sequel (Rocks Can Dance) coming in 2023. Comments and critiques are both welcome and appreciated.

The Unwoken Protocol

22 parts Complete Mature

Some things are better left forgotten. Eris Neve is an employee at Yakuba Technologies, a powerful company that has been prepping for the end of Earth since it was founded. Eris and 799 other people were selected to be aboard their traveling ship, searching for the next planet capable of supporting human life. Not even months after departure, the ship was infiltrated. This resulted in their back-up safety feature coming into play. Cryogenic Sleep. All of the surviving members of the traveling ship were placed into individual cryogenic pods and put to sleep. When Eris finally wakes, she doesn't have any memories of her past. She can't even recall her own name. Not to mention, there's something particularly strange about the two men that woke her... Will she regain her memories? What happened on that ship? Caspian Fowler is Eris' "boyfriend" before the ship was infiltrated. He must navigate how to interact with his now ex-girlfriend and silently hope she'll fall in love with him all over again. Or was she ever in love with him in the first place? Completed; in process of re-write - please forgive any errors.
