Tales from the Drift: Old Lessons, Hard Futures
The Drift: a colorful metaphor for the empty space between stars and planets, more closely describing the ever-expanding nature of galaxies and the universe itself. As a colloquialism, it is typically used to reference the gravitational currents and eddies running through the bleak, black nothing. Tales from the Drift is a science-fantasy serial telling the story of an evolving galaxy that is fraught with as many dangers as it is wonders. In Old Lessons, Hard Futures a guardian soldier, an indolent boy-pirate, an old warhorse, and a wayward hotshot find themselves caught in a tangle of plots set to unbalance the already teetering scales of power within the galaxy. --- --- Final chapter published: 05MAY2023. --- --- Cover Art and Headers created using Canva.Complete

The Elemental Drifters: First Stage (2017 Edition)
****DISCLAIMER**** (The Elemental Drifters: First Stage 2017 edition was a finished product of my very first ideas of Elemental Drifters published back in 2017. The book is kept for nostalgic reasons and a show of my development in writing in the past. I won't discourage you from reading this book but I highly recommend you to read the newest remastered edition in the franchise.) Louis Flash is a 17 year old car enthusiast who is at his final high school year. He often dreams of racing in class and wishes that one day he'll become a top notch racer. One day he gets dragged by his childhood friend, Rachel, to volunteer in an auto parts shop owned by her good friend who is a car mechanic. The mechanic gave Louis the keys to a second hand Mercedes SLS AMG Black series as a reward for such a good job Louis did. However, he found a strange message that popped out on the car's mini computer as soon he started the car: "Drive to this location, don't tell anyone and come alone." Little did Louis knew that his car was half controlled by an alien spirit that took form of an element who had one mission: "To stop the Dark element from invading earth." One night, one mistake changed everything as he discovered a secret organization of gifted street racers who shared the same faith of driving ailen cars. They've called themselves 'The Elemental Drifters' Now Louis has to fight an intergalactic war between the Light and Darkness in an epic battle to save mankind by RACING.
