From Darkness Comes - Book 2 in the Ash and Ember Series
She survived the end. But it's only the beginning. Ever thought escaping Earth meant survival. Instead, it meant sacrifice. She lost her parents, her sister, and the two boys she loves-left behind to an uncertain fate. Now, on a distant planet she never asked to call home, Ever reunites with the brother she thought was dead. But this new world is not the refuge it promised to be. Her sister's haunting last words echo in her mind: "Your friends may be your foes, and your foes may be your only chance for survival." With her memories fractured by reimaging, Ever struggles to tell truth from illusion, ally from enemy-even within herself. As a genetically modified human, she carries a dangerous secret: she may be the only woman capable of creating life. To Environettix, the ruthless corporation pulling the strings, that makes her their most valuable-and most vulnerable-target. And she isn't the only one. The other Mods brought from Earth are caught in the same web of lies, their very existence exploited for an agenda darker than they ever imagined. But the planet itself holds secrets of its own. And Ever is beginning to realize a chilling truth: they don't belong here. And when something doesn't belong, it's only a matter of time before it's erased. *This is Book 2 in The Ash and Ember Series
Two Sides of the Coin we lost
In a planet outside earth's observable universe there is a planet filled with life and creatures of all kinds and shapes. In this planet most physics and natural laws are like earth's but evolution has taken a much different course to the point where there are many different species of sentient creatures. One of these races was the Zeph. The Zeph have an unique way of consolidating a relationship, one engraved on a biological level. Sometimes gone awry, this consolidation doesn't work for everyone. This is the story of two zeph trying to deal with this almost unprecedented failure among their people.Concluida
Around Here.... (Part 1 of 10 in the series)
An extremely socially inept alien (and her friends/family) arrive on Earth and have wacky adventures! Actually, they go through some pretty dark trauma, including being shot at, kidnapped, assaulted, drugged, and taken advantage of by large corporations. Not for the younger readers. The story follows the many horrible adventures that our protagonist, Ash, undergoes. Despite having powers that break the laws of physics, she has everyone reconsidering what their notions of right and wrong are truly based upon....as well as her own.Concluida
Solitary Star
*Solitary Star* follows Meira Bat-El, a compassionate yet resilient teacher, as she sacrifices her life on Earth to join the Convergence Compact's Interstellar Genetic Continuity Intiative. Driven by a need to secure life-saving medical care for her family, she is thrust into an interstellar bureaucracy that values her DNA more than her humanity. Confined to a sprawling, impersonal starbase, Meira faces endless delays, cryptic instructions, and the suffocating weight of isolation. As she navigates the sterile corridors of her new reality, Meira forges unexpected connections with fellow volunteers and unravels unsettling truths about the program. Her resolve is tested as she contemplates the cost of her choice: has she traded her freedom and identity for the chance to save her family, or is this a sacrifice worth bearing? Set against a backdrop of vast alien starbases and deeply personal struggles, *Solitary Star* is a poignant exploration of agency, family, and the human spirit's ability to endure even when surrounded by the void. Balancing the hope of connection with the ache of separation, the story weaves together themes of duty, identity, and the search for meaning in an indifferent universe.Concluida
Not Your Ordinary Alien Story
Aliens have been here before... one was left behind. Eighteen-year- old Zoe must find him and she doesn't have much time. Along with the alien, a beacon was left on Earth which when activated, opens a portal through which the aliens will return. The extraterrestrials visit Earth to usurp Qi, Earth's vital energy. If the extraterrestrials go too long without Qi, people on the alien planet will die. However, when Qi is extracted from Earth, the weak and elderly of Earth will die. The beacon can only be activated by the alien who was left here and only when the planets are in a particular alignment. The next time is only two months away during the Autumnal Equinox. When Zoe discovers who the alien is, it's a complete game changer because the alien is closer to her than she ever could have imagined. The story takes place in a small town surrounded by forest near the Oregon-California border. Of course it does, after all, the highest concentration of Qi is found in forests where ancient redwoods grow. You might be wondering, what is Qi? In Japan it is called "ki," and in India, "prana"." The ancient Egyptians referred to it as "ka," and the ancient Greeks as "pneuma." In Africa, it's known as "ashe" and in Hawaii as "mana." Qi, Prana, Ki, call it what you will, this energy is the life force itself.Concluida
