In a frontier sprawl where jagged rocks claw at a blood-orange sky, survival is a game of grit and gunfire-its streets a crucible of betrayal, its air thick with the promise of ruin. Here, Warden stalks as a contractor forged in unyielding scars, his Doom Box a whisper of death in a lawless expanse. A bounty hunter with gray eyes that see too much, he's a silhouette against the sun, chasing a single vow: to carve a path to safety for Delilah, the barmaid whose teal gaze holds his fractured heart.
But chaos breeds like rust on steel. Scarlet, a Renly Ranger with a four-eyed helm glowing like embers, burns with the fury of lost dreams-her carbine as quick as her temper, her loyalty a coin flipped in the dust. Together, they face a clan of aug-eyed raiders whose rifles and taunts promise a reckoning that could swallow them whole. In this land where no eyes have seen peace, every shot kicks up ashes of the past, and every choice is a gamble between redemption and ruin.
Dust and Doom is a sci-fi Western where the horizon bleeds red, loyalty is a loaded chamber, and love is a flicker in the dark. Will Warden's fight bury him in a galaxy of despair-or light the way?

Star Wars: Ashes of Coruscant
This is a work of fanfiction inspired by the Star Wars universe created by Lucasfilm. I do not claim any rights to Lucasfilm or its characters. All original elements and characters in this book belong to me. Coruscant's underworld was never built for peace. In the shadows below the surface, crime lords rule, bounty hunters run wild, and hope is a currency few can afford. Shaun and Bix Caleen grew up in that chaos, running a scrap business and surviving each day with wit and grit. But their world is about to erupt. The War of the Iron Shadows has begun. As criminal syndicates unite and bounty hunters rally to claim Coruscant from the Jedi and clone troopers, the underworld becomes a battlefield. The Republic is stretched thin, and no one is safe-not even those who try to stay out of it. Caught in the middle, Shaun is forced to confront the truth about himself-about what he feels, what he sees, and what he might become. And in the end, when the smoke clears, a Jedi Master steps from the shadows with one question that will change Shaun's life forever: "Will you train as a Jedi?" This is the story of how a boy from the ashes of Coruscant became more than anyone imagined. Before the Rebellion. Before the legends. Before destiny... there was survival.Complete

Exile: The Book of Ever
Centuries after the Fall, the United States has been wiped away. The crumbling remains of the great American empire are home now only to savage, lawless tribes and packs of ravening Damned-the twisted children of the apocalypse. Most of those few who survived humanity's destruction spend their short lives in a violent struggle for survival. But some light still flickers in the darkness: the Blessed of Bountiful live in seclusion, relying on walls both physical and spiritual to protect them from the Desolation that their world has become. Among them are the Saints, those few men and women born with superhuman abilities that the Blessed see as gifts from God. The violent apostate tribes of the Northeast Kingdom have always been a danger, but up until recently its small size and the vigilance of its people have made Bountiful an unappealing target. As attacks on the community grow harsher and more frequent, however, even the steadfast Blessed are forced to start preparing for the worst. With her home's very existence threatened, seventeen year old Ever Oaks, a Saint with the power to heal, is forced to make a difficult choice, one that may come to define her people's future... Exile was a semi-finalist in Mark Lawrence's Great Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off (#SPFBO). Fantasy Faction said it was "extremely cool," and Bookish Lifestyle called it "more than just a story, a journey and an experience." When I'm asked about it, I often describe it as "X-Men meets The Walking Dead." In addition to reading it here for free, you can buy Exile in e-book or paperback on Amazon.com.Complete

𝐄𝐋𝐘𝐒𝐈𝐀𝐍 | 𝐒𝐃
There are choices that feel like accidents. Decisions that arrive dressed as inevitability. And men who never act without already knowing the outcome. She doesn't realize she's been chosen, only that the world begins to bend when she steps into it. Elysian is not a place for coincidence. It rewards foresight, patience, and those ruthless enough to pull strings no one else can see. And he has built his empire on 𝘣𝘰𝘵𝘩. Power recognizes power and hers has 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 been dangerous. What looks like an unfortunate crossing of paths is anything but. Beneath every gesture lies intent. Beneath every silence, calculation. And beneath his attention, something sharpened by resistance rather than softened by it. They share a history that should have stayed buried, not because it was harmless, but because it taught them exactly how lethal the other could be. She thinks she's choosing her moves. He's been planning around them. Power shifts. Motives tangle. Obsession slips into something that looks like protection, like necessity until walking away stops being an option. Here, unions aren't built on submission, they're forged between equals who know precisely where to strike. A woman who refuses to be owned. A man who refuses to lose control. And a bond that was never a matter of if, only when. And the best part? 𝘕𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘭.
