Starstruck
Nerdy astronomy geek Marsha, M to her few friends, has never been anybody special. Orphaned as an infant and reluctantly raised by an overly-strict "aunt," she's not even sure who she is. M's dream of someday escaping tiny Jewel, Indiana and making her mark in the world seems impossibly distant until hot new quarterback Rigel inexplicably befriends her. As Rigel turns his back on fawning cheerleaders to spend time with M, strange things start to happen: her acne clears up, her eyesight improves to the point she can ditch her thick glasses, and when they touch, sparks fly-literally! When M digs for a reason, she discovers deep secrets that will change her formerly mundane life forever . . . and expose her to perils she never dreamed of. Yes, the middle of nowhere just got a lot more interesting!Terminé
Not Your Ordinary Alien Story
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.Terminé

Devil's Basement: Colony Ragnarok
Far beneath the surface of a planet wrapped in a toxic atmosphere, competing political ideologies stare each other down over a heavily militarised line that cuts through the city on their border.

In this claustrophobic environment, those who desire peace must act quickly or these tunnels will collapse in the fires of war. _____ This story is based on a role-playing map game I GM'd last year. The four main characters are based on the four players from that map game, and the general sequence of events follows the game as well. Cover art: @astrxphoriaTerminé

Crystal Harper thinks she's just a normal teenager; no crazy parents, no strange events in her New York private school beyond the irritating Charlene Karsengale, and certainly no aliens. But all of this is uprooted when she and her best friend and someone she most definitely wouldn't call a friend, are kidnapped-- and brought to an FBI base. Crystal becomes exposed to the very real threats of Catchers, an ancient, superintelligent species of aliens-- who look perfectly human. As Crystal navigates her training, and the mixed feelings she has for her new life, and two boys in it, questions arise about the, and the strange obsessions these ancient, all-powerful creatures seem to have with special artefacts across the city and...with her.

Alice James ran away for a reason. From him. From them. And she cannot be found. But dangers lurk within the darkened alleys of the bustling city, the very threats she's been trying to run away from-- perhaps even worse...
