Excerpt :
A post-destruction reality. All I can say is that our Earth was no longer the planet it used to be, and saying that the human population had reduced quite dramatically would be an understatement. There were some hundred of us in the area that had survived, and I hoped that somewhere out there several other groups also carried on living. With the limited resources and ruination, a handful of us would soon die of ill health, famine, and grief. The rest of us knew that in order to persist we had much to do, and reproduce. For without reproduction, the human race would simply die away.This is the world I would spend the rest of my life in.

Planet Omega
We all began on another planet, one that should have taken us all down with it when it burned up in a fiery rage. We had no business living longer than that. We certainly had no business colonizing elsewhere, murdering, ravaging, taking. It wasn't ours. Yet, we'd felt entitled, simply because it was there. Humans had always done that well, all throughout history - taking things that didn't belong to them. No matter the cost. "Run." Violence is in our blood, every single one of us descended from the millions of humans who'd dared survive after Earth could take no more of them. "Run now, and don't look back."Complete
Sand Red
The year is 8 billion and the Sun is dying. The richest of humanity has made its way to the distant Life planet Cerulone, leaving behind billions to die. Fast-evolving alien flora invades local ecosystems, converting acres and acres of land to thorny waste. Cultivation is impossible, and life on Earth is nearly extinct. The last humans on the face of the planet are plagued by a fatal disease, starvation and unquenchable thirst. In the midst of this survives Kun, a part of a band of youths. They fight to live each day, stealing and killing for anything they need as is the way of this world. Little do they know what is coming their way. A dangerous journey through the vast desert that is Earth for a sliver of hope. Is it worth it?Complete
DISCONTINUED
Certainly they could trust that those in power ultimately had the best interests of the people in mind, right? ~~~ Luna slouched low in her seat, staring at droplets of water that ran diagonally down the window of the bus. The sky was a flat, depressing grey and the incessant, soaking rain left her constantly chilled. It was a typical "liquid sunshine" day in the Pacific Northwest. They drove past a single tall scraggly tree on top of a hill shrouded in mist. The creepy tree was full of screaming crows. How could she hear them from inside the bus when she couldn't even seem to hear the voices of the kids around her? Geez, that was an awfully freaking dark image. She shivered and looked away. What did they call a group of crows again? Right, a murder of crows. Perfect. The weather was certainly the only thing that was typical these days, although you'd never know it by looking around the bus at most of the kids as they sat joking and gossiping with each other just like they had before... before that day everything had changed. Idiots.Complete
Europa
In order to embark on a mission to discover alien life on the icy moon of Jupiter Maria must leave her life on Earth behind, including her father and her seven-year-old son Diego. She thought the hardest part of the mission would be saying goodbye, but little does she know what awaits her and her crew on Europa, an environment that has never been explored from the surface until this mission. Perhaps alien life was never meant to be explored by humans... Will she fulfill her promise to her father and son to make it home alive, or will she fail to make good on that promise like her mother did when she was a little girl? Note: This story was written during a challenge to write an entire book in one week! I vlogged the whole process on my YouTube channel (Patrick Procrastinates Writing), my Instagram (@memesforwriters), and my TikTok (@memes4writers). Be sure to check those out if you want a behind the scenes on my writing process behind this project! I will continue to work on Europa, but I will not update this version as it shows what I was able to accomplish in the seven days of the challenge.

Terra Firma
What happens when the planet you are from no longer sustains life because of the generations that lived before you. The blue marble that shines so brightly like a Gem in our solar system has gone, replaced with a dark and poisonous planet. Ten years ago the earth had a major Exodus, evacuating as many humans as possible. Luna was left behind to face the devastation, to try and survive in a bleak and obsolete world. Barely able to breathe the toxic air, life is no longer about living, but surviving. This book was written by J Butterworth and C Hufer.Complete
