America, home of the Occult freedom, slavery masters, and Fathers of greed seems to be the story everyone has forgotten.
Corpus Republica is a smart, mind-bending thrill ride through the secret history of the United States.
Follow a young Benjamin Franklin as he stumbles upon a hidden book that pulls him into a world of hidden societies, mystical science, coded letters, and dangerous passions that shaped the soul of a nation.
Alongside rebels like Thomas Paine and the ever-enigmatic Jefferson, Franklin navigates a revolution not just of politics, but of power, prophecy, occult and desire.
Based on real events-but twisted through the lens of forgotten truths-this book dares you to question what's real, what's imagined, and what was never meant to be uncovered.
Witty, wild, and wickedly intelligent-Corpus Republica isn't just a book. It's a revelation.

The Island
"This is The Island, a prison designed for minors like me- too young to be executed, too old to be reformed, and too much of a stain on humanity to let exist. It was 'the answer' to the growing crime rate resulting from a world that was falling apart. The details evade me, but there is one thing I know. The water doesn't seem as scary as it did before." When Jordyn wakes up in the middle of a tropical forest in the mouth of a cat too big to be real, she decides this isn't how she wants to die. The Island has other plans, though. It was designed to kill her, and it will bring out every gun in the arsenal to do so. Her life becomes a game of survival from the mutant and venomous animals, severe temperature changes, and impossible weather scenarios that exist in this government manufactured prison. The twist? She has no idea who she is, where she came from, or why she committed first-degree arson. In this mixture of "The Hunger Games" and "Maze Runner", Jordyn has to unravel the truth before nature kills her- or die not knowing.

❖ Interstellar pilot and ex-adventurer Alex Gallegos must keep their team safe on an icy moon as sentient storms threaten to repeat the tragedy that ended their last career. ❖ Everyone in the United Inhabited Solar Systems (for some reason, UIS for short) knows to stay away from Mahaha. The icy moon is notorious for failed probe landings and research missions that end in tragedy: the only people to ever venture to its surface needed rescuing after just two weeks. When a prestigious research group decides they want a turn, they ask Alex Gallegos to lead the team. Perfectly qualified and haunted by their past, Alex accepts, hoping to make up for old mistakes and get just a little further from the earth they've left behind. Two months into the seven-month mission, the team is struggling with discontent, damaged equipment, and blizzards acting less and less like normal weather. As Mahaha moves out of range of help and the storms take on a more malicious character, Alex must face the one foe they could never have prepared for. Mahaha may or may not be alive. ❖❖❖ Complete.
