Alexandre Jameson resides in the famed city of Beverly Hills, but there's one thing about him that separates him from the remainder of the town. Instead of living in the mansion in front of the mountains, he lives under the overpass down the street. Instead of eating fresh lobster for lunch, he eats bone scraps from the dumpster. Such is the life of a Rat in this Jungle of concrete..
The Jungle Rat is a story about a young man trying to survive alone against murderers, thieves, gangs, and every other smudge of city scum in the great American concrete jungle of Los Angeles in 2017.

The Last Vault
In a future where Earth has been "restored" to a pristine natural state, humanity has been exiled to orbiting stations and distant colonies. The wealthy elites, known derisively as the Toff, have claimed Earth's beauty as their own private trophy, dismantling every human-made structure and hiding Earth's legacy under lock and key. Forbidden and off-limits to all but a select few, the planet has become a myth, a dream, and for some, an obsession. Callen is a deliveryman scraping by in the underbelly of Earth 2, a gleaming satellite that serves as both a counterweight to Earth's space elevator and a paradise for the Toff. His odd jobs bring him close to their world but never let him touch it. One job takes him to the Terminal Village, a medieval-style settlement at the base of the space elevator, where he learns of a tantalizing rumor: a hidden vault deep in the Rocky Mountains, filled with priceless relics from Earth's past. Driven by desperation and a growing defiance against the Toff's control, Callen begins piecing together fragments of truth about the vault. To reach it, he must navigate Earth's untouched wilderness, avoid detection, and unravel the secrets the elites have buried. But the deeper he delves, the more dangerous his journey becomes-and the more he realizes the vault's treasures might hold more than wealth. They could hold humanity's forgotten history... or its final undoing. In this gripping blend of dystopian adventure and treasure-hunting intrigue, The Last Vault explores the meaning of ownership, legacy, and the lengths we'll go to reclaim what was lost. Perfect for fans of speculative fiction and high-stakes heists, this is a story of forbidden worlds and the resilience of those who refuse to be forgotten.Complete

Blasted Futures, Secret Histories (SciFi Smackdown)
The Adventures of Morley and Boots: The crew of the Leapfrog travel randomly about the galaxy in search of unique lifeforms to trap & trade. Intra-galactic poaching is profitable, but risky - like when an Evil Intergalactic Empire accuses you of capturing their Goddess, and you don't even know which critter she is! End Game: In an alternate near-future Indochina, Imperial France still rules, much to the chagrin of the local Siamese. Ratana's brother is captain of a premiere league football team, and a hero to the Siamese - and when he is booted from the squad to make space for the son of a powerful nobleman, it sets off a chain of events that could result in the toppling of the Empire. Self-Assembly Required: Human civilization has been almost entirely destroyed by a catastrophic plague of nanites, but one city remains, hidden and protected by Hydra, a team of all-female nano/human hybrids. Is the arrival of a roguish, lone-wolf mercenary a sign that human civilization is recovering, or the event that could destroy the few remaining survivors? The Woman from Mars: The robotic crew of the Basilisk thought humans were gone, long gone. But when they are sucked back in space and time to Jupiter's moon Europa in 2552, they discover a Viking civilization with the technology to rebuild human civilization - assuming the woman from Mars can complete her mission. Blasted Futures is a short story collection.
