Beneath Haven's neon haze, the city teeters on the edge of collapse. Rael, bound to a psionic graft that makes him both weapon and target; Issa, an enforcer torn between duty and conscience; Oscar, a mercenary haunted by his past-and the Saint, Haven's legendary guardian whose era is ending-must navigate a web of conspiracies, shifting loyalties, and hallucinations that spill into reality.
As the city fractures and secrets rise from its shadows, every choice demands sacrifice. Friendships strain, morality clashes with survival, and trust becomes a razor's edge. A Night in Haven is a gripping, morally complex tale of survival, power, and the fragile hope of a city built on lies.

Operation Redemption
In a world on the brink, Haven was humanity's last safe city. Nine years ago, Arno vanished into the wasteland, leaving behind only the terrifying legend of the Phantom. Now, he returns to a city rigged to die. Warlord Garrik's Operation Ashfall has planted chemical bombs beneath Haven's streets, designed to unleash a horde of mindless, feral creatures known as the Ashfall. As Garrik's army closes in, Haven's fractured defenders-Mara's rebellion, Holt's soldiers, and desperate civilians-are forced into an uneasy alliance. Amid the chaos, Arno must confront his past, protect the woman he loves, and choose between revenge and redemption. When the monstrous Core is destroyed and Garrik mysteriously abducted by a cloaked faction, Haven's survival comes at a devastating cost: much of the city lies in ruin, and a greater threat looms beyond the walls.

Not The Last {Rough Draft}
~Thank you for the continued love for this series! I was 13 when I began this book, and am now taking the time to go back to completely rewrite it, and maybe just publish someday~ I'm 15 and my name is Astrix. Let's start with that. That seems like an easy thing to start with. Now, let me add in some other details. I live in a zombie apocalypse. Yeah, that's about as enjoyable as I can make it seem. Now let me add in something else. I'm wanted by the CIA for reasons that I don't even know, but I guess I will find out eventually. Maybe somewhere within my story I will figure it out. I'm well known as The Bad Ass for reasons that are kind of obvious once you meet me. Maybe that's why they're after me? Because I'm a Bad Ass? Nope, I doubt that. Well anyways, the answers are out there. Along with the answers to my past. The answer to life even. Maybe it really is 42 but I don't think it would hurt to start looking at one. So here we go. Chapter one. Book 1 *Being completely rewritten, final product will not be put on Wattpad, but hopefully go to print* **Highest Rating--#44 in Adventure**Complete
WHEN THE WORLD BURNED
In a world reduced to ash and silence, survival is brutal, but loneliness is worse. Solara thought she'd been running from ghosts of her own mind-until she met Altan, the stranger who became her anchor in the ruins. Together they build fragile comfort in a shattered city... but something in the dark has found them. It watches. It waits. And Altan knows more than he's telling. As love blooms in the wreckage, secrets fester, and the thin line between safety and terror begins to unravel. Because in this world, survival isn't just about food and shelter-it's about trust. And the shadows never stop watching. "You can outrun the sun. You can't outrun what waits for it to set." 18+ (MATURE THEMES)
They Made Us Monsters
In a world ruled by disease, fear, and government control, survival is no longer a choice-it's a rebellion. After a virus devastates the population, the U.S. government uses the crisis to seize control, turning teenagers into test subjects in brutal experiments meant to create super-soldiers. Those who are captured vanish into labs where their memories are wiped, their bodies are altered, and their identities are erased. Those who escape are left with scars-and the crushing guilt of the ones they couldn't save. Artemis Cross was never supposed to be a leader. But when she's captured and stripped of everything she knows, she becomes Subject 88, forced into a nightmare of pain, injections, and psychological warfare. Her mind begins to fracture-but one memory refuses to die: Z, the boy who once held her together, the boy she can't forget no matter how deep they dig into her brain. Outside the walls, Z is haunted by her absence. He can't eat, sleep, or breathe without seeing her face. As he and a fractured group of survivors drive through a collapsing America-riddled with graffiti, riots, and people fighting to the death over scraps-Z promises he'll find Artemis, even if he has to tear the system down piece by piece. But the deeper they get into the truth, the more twisted it becomes. Friends begin to betray each other. Love starts to fracture. And the world they thought they knew is far more dangerous than they ever imagined. Because this isn't just about surviving the system anymore. It's about burning it to the ground.Complete
