"I could tell by the way he looked at me. He was afraid..."

Lilliana's interplanetary journey takes an unexpected turn when her ship crashes on a primitive planet.

Stranded and injured, she must keep a low profile to avoid alerting the locals, who are yet to discover space travel. Lilliana soon realizes that she can't survive on her own and desperately needs help until her brother arrives.

She is soon discovered, but the alien, Jarath, surprises her when he takes her in. Though they can only communicate through basic gestures, she feels drawn to him, but she is determined to never give her heart away again.

With others of Jarath's kind searching for her, the race is on. But who will get to her first - her brother, or the aliens out to do her harm?

Sparks fly in this romantic science fiction novelette.

Not Your Ordinary Alien Story

32 parts Complete

Aliens have been here before... one was left behind. Eighteen-year- old Zoe must find him and she doesn't have much time. Along with the alien, a beacon was left on Earth which when activated, opens a portal through which the aliens will return. The extraterrestrials visit Earth to usurp Qi, Earth's vital energy. If the extraterrestrials go too long without Qi, people on the alien planet will die. However, when Qi is extracted from Earth, the weak and elderly of Earth will die. The beacon can only be activated by the alien who was left here and only when the planets are in a particular alignment. The next time is only two months away during the Autumnal Equinox. When Zoe discovers who the alien is, it's a complete game changer because the alien is closer to her than she ever could have imagined. The story takes place in a small town surrounded by forest near the Oregon-California border. Of course it does, after all, the highest concentration of Qi is found in forests where ancient redwoods grow. You might be wondering, what is Qi? In Japan it is called "ki," and in India, "prana"." The ancient Egyptians referred to it as "ka," and the ancient Greeks as "pneuma." In Africa, it's known as "ashe" and in Hawaii as "mana." Qi, Prana, Ki, call it what you will, this energy is the life force itself.
