HalfWorlder #Wattys2017
(Highest rank #12 in sci-fi). When a dangerous ancient artifact hidden by the Egyptian gods activates after millennia, the long-dormant powers of a half-alien boy come alive just in time to save the Earth. But he never imagined winning over a girl would be harder than saving the world. And he may not even do that. THE LONG VERSION: Human life was hard enough for 17-year-old Gil Scott when his father suddenly disappeared from a temple dig. But when the half-alien teen uncovers a conspiracy surrounding the artifact his human dad was hunting, Gil must use his alien powers to track it down before it destroys the planet he calls home. With the help of a beautiful Oasen-human hybrid whose drive to succeed masks her private pain, Gil borrows his mom's spaceship, following the same clues across Egypt as his father. The teens battle strange weather phenomena and rising global panic as they race through the suffocating heat of the desert, through deluged ancient temples, and hidden libraries hiding more than just books. That is until it starts snowing on the Great Sphinx and they unearth a millennial-old message from Ra himself, addressed to Gil, with a choice that will affect everyone's future. Unraveling Ra's remaining clues, they rush to locate the powerful artifact in time. But Ra and the other ancient aliens' thousands-year-old, carefully mapped plan to save the Earth from the Aten has a fatal flaw, and their gamble may cost Gil the only life that will matter to him in the end. And possibly the planet itself. (Cover image: Photo of The Pyramids of Giza from Egypt combined with a Hubble image. Original photographer: Rom Srinivasan, 2005)Complete
Titania
Stars, they are light, they are warmth, they are unlimited. . . All her life, young Titania has wanted nothing more than to be something other than her planet's Keeper of Stars. She is able to see into a star and reveal what is inside; wishes, secrets, memories and so much more. She wants to use her gift for something more than tending to the needs of her people. She wants to share what she can do and all she is. When she accidentally uses her ability on herself she is transported off of her planet, Venstri, and ends up crash landing on earth but she wasn't expecting to land right into the territory of her mate, the alpha of a werewolf pack. She learns that everything she has ever longed for has been on this new world all this time, but something she never saw coming was being mistaken for a supernatural being known as an aeteri, and Titania plays along in fear that if anyone knew the truth of what she truly is, they would make her leave the home she grows to love to protect their future. With her growing paranoia of being caught impersonating the aeteri, the possibility of her people coming to earth to take her back, and a mate she lies to every day about who she is, Titania tries her hardest to keep her secret safe. Titania knows her people are looking for her, she knows she needs to come clean about who she is but the further she digs in her hole of lies, the harder it becomes to get herself out and the more problematic her situation becomes. She only ever wanted to share her gift with the world, but once she learns the truth about who she is meant to be, she realizes the world isn't quite ready for what she has to offer, or the universe for that matter. ********** An Aeterian Story- Third Book Book Order: The Alpha's Eversor Athena TitaniaComplete

Blasted Futures, Secret Histories (SciFi Smackdown)
The Adventures of Morley and Boots: The crew of the Leapfrog travel randomly about the galaxy in search of unique lifeforms to trap & trade. Intra-galactic poaching is profitable, but risky - like when an Evil Intergalactic Empire accuses you of capturing their Goddess, and you don't even know which critter she is! End Game: In an alternate near-future Indochina, Imperial France still rules, much to the chagrin of the local Siamese. Ratana's brother is captain of a premiere league football team, and a hero to the Siamese - and when he is booted from the squad to make space for the son of a powerful nobleman, it sets off a chain of events that could result in the toppling of the Empire. Self-Assembly Required: Human civilization has been almost entirely destroyed by a catastrophic plague of nanites, but one city remains, hidden and protected by Hydra, a team of all-female nano/human hybrids. Is the arrival of a roguish, lone-wolf mercenary a sign that human civilization is recovering, or the event that could destroy the few remaining survivors? The Woman from Mars: The robotic crew of the Basilisk thought humans were gone, long gone. But when they are sucked back in space and time to Jupiter's moon Europa in 2552, they discover a Viking civilization with the technology to rebuild human civilization - assuming the woman from Mars can complete her mission. Blasted Futures is a short story collection. All of these works have been written for The Pub's SciFi Smackdown, a contest in which contestants write Science Fiction stories meeting the specifications laid out by the smackdown's host, @ForbiddenPlanet.

Europa
In order to embark on a mission to discover alien life on the icy moon of Jupiter Maria must leave her life on Earth behind, including her father and her seven-year-old son Diego. She thought the hardest part of the mission would be saying goodbye, but little does she know what awaits her and her crew on Europa, an environment that has never been explored from the surface until this mission. Perhaps alien life was never meant to be explored by humans... Will she fulfill her promise to her father and son to make it home alive, or will she fail to make good on that promise like her mother did when she was a little girl? Note: This story was written during a challenge to write an entire book in one week! I vlogged the whole process on my YouTube channel (Patrick Procrastinates Writing), my Instagram (@memesforwriters), and my TikTok (@memes4writers). Be sure to check those out if you want a behind the scenes on my writing process behind this project! I will continue to work on Europa, but I will not update this version as it shows what I was able to accomplish in the seven days of the challenge. Please let me know what you think (don't be afraid to be mean).Complete
Sons of IUPAC
The earth already ended in 2012, thanks to a freak accident caused by a meteorite falling into the North Pole, and, simultaneously, the Large Hadron Collider going bust. In the future, most of humanity lives in Europa, the fourth Galilean moon of Jupiter. Parthasarathi Singh, who has had his fair share of time travelling (spanning three books, soon to be uploaded), works in an organisation called the 'Neotaxa Guard', whose job it is to keep the peace agreement between the native advance species 'Decapodus mermius' and humans, and aid in the prosecution of intergalactic criminals. It is 2050, and a deliberately-created hot spring is discovered in the middle of nowhere, precipitating arachnite trioxide crystals. Surrounded by lies and deception on all sides, Rujel Tarique, son of IUPAC professor and Neotaxa Guard member Amaan Tarique must choose his destiny, as he is pulled into the midst of this conspiracy, and emerge from the jobless party hooligan image to become the greatest hero of all time, by saving Europa and all species from a terrible threat.Complete
