The Space Spinster (Slow Updates)
A dutiful, ace soldier from Mars faces a dilemma. She can accept an offer from an infuriating gen-eng man from Venus, grab her loyal cat + dig up her inner rebel and maybe become the first human to explore the Galaxy. OR she can keep flying security on the cruise space ships. Did I mention the man from Venus has an unbearable personality and nearly got her killed on Jupiter? Daaaamn! I got cocky and wrote a space opera, yes, with aliens and fast spaceships. Become a part of the audience so small, it's exclusive! First published: long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Now updates as a lite novel with AI art.
Space Samurai
Classic space opera. I am revisiting an old idea I had. ~Tight ensemble of characters amid a hostile environment. In an advanced timeline roughly 1000 years into the future. Crit, an unreliable citizen in the system stirs trouble against a new regime, taking hold over the galaxy's freedom. I am still learning the ways of literature, I believe I have a ton of stories that'll either leave a laugh or tear. Please be patient while I'm re-educating myself.

The Vengeance Trilogy.
A trilogy of military hard SciFi short stories, each of which stands on its own but is linked to the earlier parts. Part 1 is my attempt at writing what a battle in space might really be like. Part 2 is - well, as a student of military history, I was struck by how some things in the military life have seemed to be constant over the centuries. Part 3 is the result of trying to imagine what an infantry fire-fight might be like in the 22nd century or beyond. How does technology play into it?Complete

Justice for the Lost
15 years after the Empire's fall at the battle of Jakku, Justice for the Lost picks up the story where Resurgence left off. Having gained a foothold in enemy space, Big Boss' Army will need to establish new supply lines and seize key manufacturing systems from former Colonel Andral Escher, enigmatic operator of the hive mind of droids pulling the Remnant Empire's strings in this sector... not to mention the Imperial Remnant itself. In the Republic, a Chiss pirate threatens the hard earned peace by attacking centers of government and military installations with a growing armada of unknown and ancient origin. Believing her to be a student of their former mentor, Obbic'larr'amori (Clarra) enlists Big Boss' help in facing this new threat. And while Lady Erika takes care of unfinished family business, Jorgan and Frida resolve to rejoin the Army of the Sun in secret to rescue Master Rael from Nemo's clutches. NOTE: My story broke continuity with the current Disney timeline as of the Ahsoka series, which contradicts the fates of several characters in my works up to that point. I reserve the right to recycle plot points, species, and characters introduced by it as all works prior to that are still canon within my Original Star Wars stories Setting: 20 ABY, Unknown Regions; 19 ABY, Hutt space Characters: Lady Erika, Big Boss, Clarra, Jorgan, Frida, Erlkönig Other characters: Master Rael, Nym Shim, Duggo Ordo, Drovork-12 Villains: Nemo, Rosala, LoreleiComplete
WARLORDS OF ANDROMEDA
Three hundred years after Earth’s sentient internet takes the planet into Singularity—and out of spacetime—to avoid a sun going supernova ahead of schedule, the fleeing Martian colonists have found another kind of liberation. Using space warping ships they spread their seed across Andromeda. But if Frakas, the genius bioengineer who created a new Cambrian explosion of humanoid life, and the first of the hundred year men, clones designed to uplift souls, were enough to see them through the first leg of their journey, they are not around to be leaned on anymore. So begins the second trilogy of The Hundred Year Men saga, WARLORDS OF ANDROMEDA, and the reign of Dargan, the second clone. But will the ingenious tactics of Dargan’s warlords be enough to unseat the powers threatening the empire from within as well as from without? Or will these highly evolved humanoid species merely use their genetic and cybernetic enhancements to make better war on a scale never before imagined, using imaginative methods only such technological breakthroughs—not to mention sprawling space armadas—could accommodate? --------------------------- note: the three separate trilogies comprising the Hundred Year Men saga do not have to be read in order.Complete
