Cyber Witch
Years ago when a young orphaned girl, advanced cybernetics were surgically installed into Avia's brain. Able to hack into virtually any computer, control system, or AI, she and others like her became child soldiers in an interstellar war. But once the war was won, the Sol Federation turned on them, labeling them Aberrants, dangers to humanity to be deactivated and locked away. Now on the run, Avia fled from a fate she considered worse than death. Zach, a former rebellious member of the social Elite, traded jail time for bounty hunting. With a relentlessness Avia did not understand, he pursued her across the galaxy. But Zach had other plans for Avia than turning her in. All Avia ever wanted was a normal life someplace where she was loved, and she loved in return. But between a humanity threatening conspiracy and fellow Aberrants that truly earned the label, that seemed an impossible dream.Complete
Hacking the Sun - The Re-Remake
Jessica Leibniz tried to be a normal teenager, but unlike most teenagers in the 22nd century, she can tell time without a clock. So what good is a watch... unless it comes with incriminating A.I? It's part of a fashion sense that involves 1980's nostalgia, nerdom, and rebellion. Otherwise, you have a normal, nineteen-year-old delivery girl by day and freelance hacker by night. Everything else is unremarkable in a future where aliens rule the planet. After assimilation in the 21st century, which could have ended more violently, Earth has become relatively peaceful and technologically efficient, so they say. Corporations still reign supreme, except a new species sits at the top of the social ladder. These overlords have constructed a new kind of city in the web of planetwide sprawl. Eden: a modern megapolis. Jessica has learned to embrace Eden and its challenges. Without a cause, she confides in three friends or smacks into boredom. But when she seamlessly cracks an uncrackable security algorithm, nothing makes sense, and boredom gives way to danger. Hacker life takes to the streets, and beyond, in a desperate flight from the world's most powerful corporation. Faced with conspiracy, tragedy, and a new life on the run, normal is no longer an option.Complete

The Void Killer Saga
They'll call him the Void Killer. The shadow that haunts Costa del Sol's underworld. The nightmare that makes crime lords pray. But right now? He's just trying to survive the Bounty Hunter Academy. Kasper de la Fuente has the tools to become something special: military-grade nanotech thrumming in his veins, a crew of brilliant misfits at his back, and his family's legacy pushing him forward. Then the terrorists known as ATA shatter his world, and Kasper learns the hard way that his academy training barely scratched the surface of real evil. In a retro-futuristic world where neon bleeds into art deco shadows, where tech-augmented gangs rule the streets and corruption runs bone-deep, Kasper and his crew uncover a conspiracy that will force them to grow up fast - or die trying. This is no ordinary coming-of-age story. This is the genesis of the Void Killer, and his education in justice comes with a body count. The only question is: will you witness his rise?
