It's two hundred years in the future, and Earth has problems. The tilt of the planet has stabilized, causing widespread drought. Once-stable countries are at war for what little resources are left. The United States government decides it's time for the humans to leave.
Chloe and her family are part of an experiment that will determine the fate of humanity. Along with thirty-five other families, they are sent to planet Xantir. Their mission: to set up a new civilization.
But they are taking a great risk. A slight miscalculation, a bug in the computer program; thirty-six families gone forever. Good thing the programmers were hand-picked by the government...
With every minute that passes, Chloe leaves behind everything that she knows. The farther the ship gets from home, the longer it takes to communicate with her home. All that she has left is her family.
If the ship can reach planet Xantir, a whole new set of difficulties will meet Chloe. She's spent two years of her life learning about the edible plants, the dangerous animals, and the geography of the new planet. But there's far too much the humans don't know. In the past, Chloe's relied on information from probes. Nobody knows what will happen if a human actually sets foot on Xantir.

The Abyss of Time
Twenty years after the end of the Cyborg War, the last cyborgs try to hijack a starship on its way to terraform an alien world. They want the new colony to be a cyborg colony in which they will rebuild their strength and practice their way of life. During the fighting, though, the starship is damaged, so that instead of travelling light years across space it ends up a billion years in the future, alongside a planet Earth that is near the end of its life. The cyborgs, momentarily defeated, leave the ship in a captured landing craft and go down to the planet, but before they go they sabotage the ship so that it is no longer able to support life. The crew have no choice but to follow them down to the planet where they have to fight not just the cyborgs but also forms of life a billion years more evolved than humans. Creatures that have grown tough and hardy in an attempt to cope with the increasingly harsh conditions that prevail there. As if things weren't bad enough, there is conflict among the ship's crew as they fight to decide which of them will be in charge and how they will meet the challenges facing them, and even if they survive all this they will still have to deal with the discovery of the ultimate fate that awaits all intelligent life in the universe...Concluida
Shattered Sky
PLEASE NOTE: my writing is a lot better now. In the not-so-distant future, the world has been ravaged by climate disasters, economic collapse, and technological overreach. The Earth's atmosphere is barely breathable in some areas, and society is divided into highly controlled, isolated Zones. These Zones are managed by an all-powerful governing body called The Ascendancy, which uses a combination of surveillance, propaganda, and strict population control to maintain order. Beneath the surface, however, a rebellion is brewing. Youth, especially those born in the years after the Ascendancy's rise to power, have begun questioning the truth about the world they live in, and their place in it. In the midst of this unrest, a group of teenagers discovers an ancient artifact, believed to be a key to unlocking the world's true history and the secrets of the Ascendancy's origins. Genre: Young Adult Dystopian
An image of perfection
Victoria Robertson was born an ordinary girl. Perhaps she would have turned out okay, if it weren't for the twisted mind of her mother. Her mother, a troubled widow, raised her, her two brothers and one sister in a peculiar manner. In modern society, people generally accept the idea that humans are imperfect and should be accepted with their flaws. Well not Victoria's mother, Caroline. Caroline raised her children to believe they needed to achieve perfection to succeed. As a result, Victoria grew up with self esteem issues and low self worth. But that's not all. Victoria must decide if she'll be a cruel, judgemental and demanding woman as her mother was, or to learn that as humans, we all have flaws. The decision is Victoria's, because the fate of her country lies in her hands. Will her aspirations and dreams to create a utopian society prevail, or will they turn into disappointments and nightmares of a dystopian society? She has power and control to change society for better or worse.Concluida
Wanderers of the Solar Wind
They're not looking for glory. They're just trying to survive. In a future where Earth has drowned beneath the waves and Venus has become a fortress in the clouds, space is no longer a realm for heroes-it's an arena for those cast aside. Where the law ends, the fight for survival begins. And where the connection to home is severed, a new family is born. This is a story about those who don't fly toward the stars, but away from them-from the past, from the system, from the roles forced upon them. About those who find each other in the shadows of forgotten stations, on the ice of distant moons, aboard a battered shuttle that should've been scrapped long ago, yet somehow still flies. It's a story of loyalty, brotherhood, and friendship. Of choices that aren't debated-they're made. A message from the future, written in blood, platinum, and rust. This is space as it truly is: harsh, beautiful, merciless. Where friends are family. And a cosmonaut's word is stronger than diamond. Are you ready to launch? Buckle up. The Karakut is warming its engines. Let's go.

Sentilia
Maxine is an 18-year-old girl who is bored and lonely, living in California in the year 2351. She's always been fascinated with how humans used to live in houses, drive cars, and the fact that there used to be forests and parks everywhere. Now, after a war that nearly erased humanity, people are forced to live a strict, dull, communist lifestyle. Everyone seems okay with this way of life. Everyone except Maxine. Maxine had always been special; she was often able to predict events. How? She didn't exactly know...yet. When she starts having dreams about a tropical island where people live as they did in the 21st century, she meets the man of her dreams: literally. Her new boiling emotions bring her to wonder...what if it's a real place? When she starts her search for the island and bumps into Elis-the man in her dreams-she suddenly knows it wasn't all just a making of her imagination. Finding that island could mean finding the answers to her burning questions, and maybe even answers to questions she didn't know she had. However, not everything is what she thought it would be when she finally finds the island, and her dreams become a harsh reality. Elis turns out to be someone else, and when another man swoops in every time Maxine is in danger, she becomes confused about what love really is. The Advisors, the ten women governing the world, want to assimilate the people of the island, not knowing that those people have an extreme advantage over them. Maxine also learns that her family has been lying to her about who she really is. Ultimately, when the Advisors come to destroy the island, she must face the fact that she is the key to the island's salvation, and embracing her rapidly developing abilities is the only way to do so.Concluida
