Snow
After an apocalyptic event that thrusts the world into a new ice age, Calestia - a 17-year-old girl with a strong will - must learn to survive on a land infested with gangs, guns, and distrust. ***** Nobody knows what day it is anymore. Nobody knows the month, the day of the week...and the only way to tell time is by the slight change in the color of the sky from grey to black every twenty-four hours. If a day even is twenty-four hours anymore. The planet is dead. The people are dead. Snow falls down upon piles of bodies like the ash of a volcanic eruption. Except, the snow doesn't stop. It never does. It continues to fall and fall until you wonder if it is even possible for another flake to come down and land silently in your hair. But it does. They do. There are few survivors of what the remaining have started to call the end of the world. The Apocalypse. Few who are still brave or scared of death enough to face the torture that is living. I am one of those survivors. Book One of the Snow Series Highest ranking: #3 in Sci-Fi Watty's ShortlistedComplete

Cure for a Nation
In the wild lands of Aurora, from the frozen seas in the north to the dusty peaks in the south, a war was raged. The war was between two great powers. In the western forests rested the Steel Imperium that relied on the brute strength of its advanced mechanical engineering and weapon systems while the Warriors of Technology in the east fought with precise devices and guerrilla tactics. The Imperium wanted to unite the territories of Aurora under one leader while the Warriors wanted to keep to tradition and let the territories govern themselves. The war was a long and bloody one that lasted for seventy years until the Imperium broke through the Warrior's lines and razed their capitol. At the same time, however, the Warriors slipped by and decimated the Steel Imperium's factories and destroyed their own cities. The factions fought until the bitter end, leaving nothing but wastelands and empty cities on both sides. Now seven years have passed and a disease has arisen from the ruins of Aurora and threatens to decimate the remaining population. Out of the sick and ever shrinking population, there is but one woman who has the means to find the cure. This is the story of Claire and her search for answers. Commenting encouraged.
