The Deserterlands chronicles the adventures of a 14 year old girl who travels her desert-covered-planet with her father, learning to become a master explosion-defuser under his unorthodox teaching methods. The longer she spends with him, the more apparent it becomes that she isn't just learning about the three elemental explosions, but so much more-- who her father was before she met him, the story of his family, and why he now spent all his days deactivating life-threatening bombs buried just beneath the desert sands.All Rights Reserved

Warrior - Cursed by Birth by dizzy_panda

The world around her was in flames. But she didn't care. She was too engulfed in her own brand of fire. The heat of the fight, the taste of blood on her lips, the excitement of metal hitting metal or penetrating flesh - these were the things that made her feel alive. This is what she was designed for, this is why Alanis was created: to fight, to kill and to revel in it.

Star Gift by Califia

What explosive discoveries were made by an eccentric desert collector who chose to hide his phenomenal secrets for over thirty years? Blake Henderson inherited more than just a key to a remote storage garage in Farmington, New Mexico. When his estranged and recluse father died, few useless belongings were handed down to him. But none were so mysterious as the contents of sealed wooden boxes and a series of intriguing notebooks-all seemingly forgotten and under lock and key for decades. The Pueblo Native Americans of Chaco Canyon, NM, had a massive and advanced civilization long before the Spanish invaded their ancestral lands in the 16th century. But why did these indigenous people inexplicably disappear? And How? What relationship did these and other Southwestern indigenous cultures have with the "star people" as they refer to them in their esoteric traditions? What event gave them cause to relocate from their advanced engineered living complexes on the desert floor to more safe dwellings under the monolithic cliffs at Mesa Verde in Colorado, out of sight from the heavens? And then vanish completely? Coming into the area from California on his Spring Break, Blake thought he would only be verifying his abandoned father's pointless absence from his life since birth. What he found following in the wake of his murder, threatened to shake what is known about our singular existence in the universe . . .
