Heather Parker, a 20-year-old student living in New York, starts feeling increasingly disconnected from social media and the technology-obsessed society around her. Observing the increasingly robotic behavior of those around her, she uncovers a disturbing truth: social media is a weapon of control, created by extraterrestrials to manipulate and dominate humanity.
Guided by an inner voice and late-night research, Heather encounters a mysterious stranger who introduces her to a clandestine group of hackers. These hackers have discovered top-secret documents on the darknet revealing the government's involvement in this extraterrestrial conspiracy. Heather decides to organize and lead them in the fight against this invisible threat.
Together, they conduct risky operations to infiltrate the social media systems and gather evidence. During a perilous mission, Heather manages to access sensitive information showing that the leaders of the networks and the government can monitor every individual through phone cameras.
With this newfound knowledge, Heather and her group engage in a fierce battle to free humanity from the grip of the extraterrestrials, using their technological skills to expose the truth and reclaim control of their destiny. As they navigate through dangers and betrayals, Heather discovers the depths of the manipulation network and prepares to confront the true masters of the digital puppets.

Down Under
|WATTYS 2022 WINNER - HORROR| Shawn, a convicted criminal, never thought she'd see the sun again, let alone call another star system her home. When she's offered an out from her prison sentence, she embarks on a dangerous interstellar expedition along with 18 of Earth's most intelligent criminals. Their task is to set up a base on a supposedly habitable planet and prepare it for colonization. Although the planet has liquid water and a breathable atmosphere, it is believed to host only microbial life. However, upon arriving, Shawn and the rest of the colonists learn that assumption was grossly incorrect. In a brutal attack from rampaging wildlife, everyone but Shawn and four other colonists are killed. The five survivors retreat to the cavernous network beneath the ground seeking safety, but they soon come to a terrible discovery. These caves aren't ordinary caves, and they are no safer down under than they were on the surface.

When her closest friend and fellow initiate, Dane, is framed for breaking one of The Codex's laws, Mara decides to investigate. What she uncovers is a chilling truth: The Covenant isn't just enforcing rules-they're silencing anyone who threatens to expose them. To save Dane and herself, Mara must outwit the very society that's been watching her every move. But with spies around every corner and betrayal at every turn, who can she trust?Compleet

Earth, After ✔️
Some fates are worse than death--survival is one of them. In the two hundred years since humanity left the Earth's surface to live in the sky, life on the ground faded to a myth, a tragic memory from which they severed themselves to survive. They floated above continents turned to sand and lands swallowed by the seas, watched storm after storm rage against their cities and their monuments until they broke apart the last vestiges of civilization in penance for generations of human greed. As a lightning harvester charged with flying her ship into these storms for energy, Raina has seen more of the planet than most. She has spent her entire life soaring above its craters and scars, studying the gaping wounds of human devastation, as she honed her skills and became the youngest captain in storm-chaser history. Her ship has flown for generations. Her skills are unparalleled. But none of that matters the day they go down. ~ Praise for Earth, After: "I'm so not ready for this ending.

Superior
Delaney Escott lives in a world where popularity reigns supreme. If you want to be noticed, social status is everything. The government is run by the Superiors: a very exclusive group of individuals who are virtually flawless. They are smarter than us and stronger than us, and to join their ranks is the highest honor. The Superiors pay an annual visit to the top schools in the nation and evaluate the students, choosing one boy and one girl - the most Popular in the school - to go the Capitol and train for Superiority. Delaney thinks that she's the only one indifferent to (and perhaps even suspicious of) the Superiors, until Caleb Payne, the most popular boy in school, approaches her with a request. He has a task for her, one that he believes she is uniquely capable of completing. And as she helps him, Delaney discovers that the government is hiding many secrets - and that the truth of the Superiors is far from what people believe it to be.
