**AMBYS 2024 WINNER** The Alliance's top galactic terraformer, Pelin Demir, uses state-of-the-art biotech to transform barren rocky planets into lush habitable ecosystems. Seeking escape from a dying Earth and a tragic past, Pelin has devoted a decade to serving the Alliance in the seemingly-endless galactic turf war between post-Earth humans and powerful warrior lifeforms, the Karinja.

Pelin's life of quiet order is thrown into chaos when her Alliance leaders inexplicably force her to train Midori, a surly rookie navigator. When a terraforming mission spirals into a catastrophic Karinja ambush, Pelin discovers the dazzling secret that Midori, and the generals of the Alliance, are desperate to keep hidden. 

Forced to navigate deep space, draconian Alliance protocols, and her own turbulent past, Pelin charts a galactic course to protect Midori at all costs from the Karinja assassins hunting her, and from the sinister Alliance generals aiming to use her as a weapon of war. Yet Pelin can't seem to protect herself from her growing feelings towards her abrasive protégé. As the conflict for galactic control reaches a climax, Pelin struggles to keep Midori, and her own heart, safe.

20 parts Complete Mature
[ONC ROUND ONE WINNER: 4th place] When he discovers his husband has been replaced, an android hunter must find the impostor in time to rescue the man he loves. SynTracker is one half of a duology of novellas. Both follow the same sequence of events from different PoVs. SynTracker is Ian's tale; BioSynth is Quentin's. Collectively, they're known as Syn. ≡≡≡ Ian Morgan is a man who does the wrong job for the right reasons. Honour-bound to keep the streets safe, Ian is a SynTracker: someone whose job is to hunt down BioSynths - obsolete yet incredibly dangerous synthetic self-aware weapons - and return them to the government, to be reprogrammed and repurposed. It'd be an easier task if they hadn't been programmed to mimic reactions that allow them to pass as humans, complete with tears. Deeply in love with Quentin, his husband of eight years, Ian's home life more than makes up for the work that wears him down. But a car crash that could have killed Quentin reveals a shocking truth: his husband has been replaced by a BioSynth. With the impostor on the loose, Ian must now Track it, knowing he needs to comb its memories for any clue regarding Quentin's whereabouts - if he's even alive. ≡≡≡ SynTracker was written for the Open Novella Contest 2021 and is based on prompt #4: You're a weapon, and weapons don't weep. It features a romance between two men. ≡≡≡ ONC Round One Winner: 4th Place Speculative Fiction Awards, Utopia/Distopia: Runner-Up R4R Awards, Sci-Fi: 2nd Place

This is book one of a novella series, mostly consisting of shorter stories of 50k-100k word count. Ju Garcia hasn't ever felt the need to become entangled with another romantically, much less hop into bed with them. In fact, she's never even felt attraction in the true consistence of the word her entire life and now that she is nearly thirty-two, she has even less interest, focusing on the career she loves. However, things can't always go the way they're planned and when a comic book creator, Hayden Weller, signs up with Ju's studio, things begin to stir within herself and the call to romance may just take the helm. Hayden Weller is a geek through-and-through, wearing it like a badge of honor her entire life. She also happens to be a creator herself, working with her best friend to create a highly decorated and critically acclaimed webtoon. Still, that project is over as is their previous contract, so they begin interviewing potential companies and run into a woman with whom Hayden is immediately taken. However, Hayden has a dark past filled with regret, abuse and addiction and fears her own emotions may end everything she has worked for in chaos. Fear controls many aspects of people's lives. Some defeat it, while others internal struggle is endless, but can Ju and Hayden overcome their inner demons and rise above? Better and perhaps together...? ⚠️Trigger Warning: This novel contains elements of drug & emotional abuse and Borderline Personality Disorder. ❤ Mature/Erotic Content ⚢ Lesbian Romance/Lit 📚 Complete and undergoing editing.

Stardust; A feeling or impression of romance, magic, or ethereality. They thought they would be two ships in the night after running into each other for the first time, never thinking they would reach the same shore. Their future was never written in the stars, but they were just lucky enough for the stars to align when they met. They didn't meet to complete each other, but to accept each other for who they were. In a narrow-minded society filled with hatred towards anything aside from standards, two insanely in love people have to hide their love for each other from everyone. Keeping it hidden from everyone while dealing with problems caused by the people around them, they only have each other to lean on. The thought of running away is more straightforward when it's just a thought. Leaving everyone and everything behind isn't easy, even if the people around them haven't done anything but hurt them. It's difficult, especially when one is ready to leave everyone and everything behind for the person she loves. At the same time, another is scared to leave even when she's aware that they have no future together if they stay- the future they have talked about together, the future they want to have together. How much do they need to be put through, how much do they need to be hurt, how many people have to try and come in between them, and how many times do they have to break down until they no longer can take it? If their love for each other is so wrong then why does it feel so right and better than anything else? It felt right to love each other.

Some fates are worse than death--survival is one of them. In the two hundred years since humanity left the Earth's surface to live in the sky, life on the ground faded to a myth, a tragic memory from which they severed themselves to survive. They floated above continents turned to sand and lands swallowed by the seas, watched storm after storm rage against their cities and their monuments until they broke apart the last vestiges of civilization in penance for generations of human greed. As a lightning harvester charged with flying her ship into these storms for energy, Raina has seen more of the planet than most. She has spent her entire life soaring above its craters and scars, studying the gaping wounds of human devastation, as she honed her skills and became the youngest captain in storm-chaser history. Her ship has flown for generations. Her skills are unparalleled. But none of that matters the day they go down. ~ Praise for Earth, After: "I'm so not ready for this ending.

[Book 1 of the ARC10 Trilogy] **Winner of the 2017 Watty Storysmith award** The President created an underground safe-haven for the survivors of the alien invasion. He built it to save them all from total annihilation. He protects them, feeds them, keeps them under his ever-watchful gaze so they can live. All he asks is that they obey. Captain Janika Lorn doesn't want to obey. Not if it means spreading her legs and contributing to the President's precious eugenics program. As a perfect candidate for the Human Hope Project, she is obligated by law to make more citizens for the dying society. But all she wants is her freedom to fight the Invaders and protect the people who already exist. If the mandated program wasn't bad enough, the worst part is trying to fulfill it with Captain Dean Freyer, her scientifically matched partner and best friend of sixteen years. Just as Captain Lorn is about to succumb to her fate, another opportunity arises. A mysterious commanding officer asks her to lead a human refugee ship--to save humanity by evacuating the destroyed Earth and shuttling the remaining population to a new habitable exoplanet 400 light years away. The mission is perilous. Especially because now, standing between her and her freedom is the hostile alien hosts of her ship, the ARC10, a sister returned from the dead, an array of impossibly confusing alien tech, a rekindled heat between her and Dean, and a sexy militia chief she can't seem to keep her hands off of. ARC10 is a romance-heavy sci-fi with the speculative horror of Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale and the military action of Battle: Los Angeles. Cover art by @FayLane Copyright © 2016 by LL Montez
