The pessimistic memoirs of the miserable Andrew Longstone. The year is 2053, and a huge, humanity-threatening tsunami occurs (oddly enough) on the shores of Britain. In Norfolk, to be precise. Andrew is called in to evacuate the terrified masses. Read about his less-than-heroic journeys across the ocean, navigating many a snivelling commoner to safety. If you liked Simon Wroe's 'Chop Chop' then you'll probably like this. Dark humour.

Exclusion Zone
In the year 2086, the world is a graveyard of ash and radiation. Seventy-four years ago, an unexplained solar surge triggered a catastrophic event known as The Meltdown-a chain reaction that detonated every nuclear reactor on Earth. The first to go were Chernobyl's aging reactors, followed by the rest, plunging humanity into an age of fire, famine, and unrelenting nuclear winter. In the ruins of Seattle, now one of the most hostile wastelands on the planet, Cody Sarge emerges from a bunker that was once his family's salvation. Alone and desperate, he must navigate The Exclusion Zone, a nightmarish landscape of collapsed skyscrapers, irradiated rain, and grotesque mutants warped by decades of radiation exposure. But the creatures aren't the only horrors lurking in the ruins-something else stirs beneath the ruins, something drawn to the echoes of the past. With only his father's old rifle and a fading map scrawled with warnings, Cody embarks on a journey to find any remnants of civilization. But in The Exclusion Zone, survival isn't just about fighting the elements or avoiding the monsters in the dark-it's about confronting the truth of what The Meltdown really was... and what still lingers at its core. The sun caused the first destruction. But what if it wasn't done yet?
Crash Landing
*Book #1 In The Crashing Series* A long time ago, people used to think that Earth would be taken over by aliens. That we would all be destroyed from their advanced technology and uncaring demeanor towards Earthlings and our entire mass population in general. That we would be picked off like mice in a locked maze, all fighting to save ourselves, all trying to get to the cheese that was freedom. But we didn't know that the only thing that would destroy us would inevitably be ourselves. We didn't know that our planet was dying before our very eyes and our countries were at constant war with each other, each fighting for more power. More money. More everything. We didn't know....Until it was too late. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Set in the year 2655, Earth has been completely demolished by poverty, famine and war, leaving nothing behind but a handful of survivors and most of the population relocated to space stations. Onboard the Celestial, one of the main stations in the galaxies, is 21 year old Mabel "Mae" Minerva. Forced to board the Celestial as a child many years ago along with her younger sister, Mae has always felt out of place in the galaxy, always preferring to spend her time rebuilding old space equipment then seeking the company of other humans. Though when a rumor is spread that her mother may be alive back on Earth, Mae springs into action to steal an armored spacecraft in hopes to save her mother from an unnatural death back on Earth. But when her miscalculations and malfunctioning ship takes her off course, she crash lands on a planet deemed to be uninhabitable. Until she meets an alien who burns hotter then the sun and who knows too much, and too little, about her kind.Complete

Shurak, book 2
My crew and I take the jobs we need to survive in a world overrun by aliens. We fly a stolen ship that once trafficked women-us included. Now, we make our own rules and do whatever it takes to stay free. My latest job? Rehabilitate a Zohra-a towering alien locked away in prison, meant to be tamed into usefulness for his captors. Then I meet him-my job, a mute Zohra. And that's when everything goes sideways. Rescuing him wasn't in the plan, yet now we're on the run, supposedly relying on each other... except I'm the one doing all the work. He's frustrating. Completely useless. A liability, really. And yet, for some ridiculous reason, I just can't leave him behind.Complete
In Search of Home
Viktor didn't expect to be abducted by aliens when he went to school one morning, and he certainly didn't expect to be thrown into the alien equivalent of a dog-fighting ring, either. But when fighting for his life quickly becomes his routine, will he be able to muster up the strength to break that mold? Especially when the fate of humanity rests on his shoulders? *** The Vokkrus, a warrior alien species, go to Earth with the intention to 'rescue' the human species from their dying planet. The catch is that they believe humans to be nonsentient and incapable of intelligent thought. They are treated as nothing more than the common animal. They are a commodity, something to fawn over and ogle at. Humanity's strength and stamina are nearly unrivaled on this new planet, and when Viktor is taken to an alien fighting ring, he quickly dominates the competition. Mercy has no place in the arena. When Viktor is adopted by the leader of the Vokkrus, an intimidating alien whose intentions are unclear, he is forced to shed his wariness and convince the alien king to save humanity from his accidental oppression. *** Please don't advertise other stories in the comments!

Beyond Midnight
"I've been taught that girls have no value, and he's the only one who assures me that I do." Soleil is a girl. A young woman. A female. She couldn't hate it more, because in her society that cursed gender makes her expendable. The war that was wrought on Earth years ago destroyed society, and men almost went extinct. Repopulation is the propriety, even if it means marrying a man with 8 other wives to become a baby making machine. When she meets an enormous alien man through a window, she slowly comes to realize that she is meant for more. She sneaks away every night after that to meet him, finding herself falling for all 7 feet of him.... even if she can't understand a thing that he says. Fray has come from Rytaria to collect human females, the salvation of his race. As soon as he meets his precious Soleil, he knows he has to have her. Little does she know that Fray will do whatever it takes to make her his mate, and he will worship the very ground she walks on.Complete
