❖ Interstellar pilot and ex-adventurer Alex Gallegos must keep their team safe on an icy moon as sentient storms threaten to repeat the tragedy that ended their last career. ❖ Everyone in the United Inhabited Solar Systems (for some reason, UIS for short) knows to stay away from Mahaha. The icy moon is notorious for failed probe landings and research missions that end in tragedy: the only people to ever venture to its surface needed rescuing after just two weeks. When a prestigious research group decides they want a turn, they ask Alex Gallegos to lead the team. Perfectly qualified and haunted by their past, Alex accepts, hoping to make up for old mistakes and get just a little further from the earth they've left behind. Two months into the seven-month mission, the team is struggling with discontent, damaged equipment, and blizzards acting less and less like normal weather. As Mahaha moves out of range of help and the storms take on a more malicious character, Alex must face the one foe they could never have prepared for. Mahaha may or may not be alive. ❖❖❖ Complete. Wattys 2021 Shortlister. Standalone sequel (Rocks Can Dance) coming in 2023. Comments and critiques are both welcome and appreciated. I write characters from many different backgrounds, with many different experiences. If you share those traits and find that I have misrepresented anything, please let me know! I am feedback-friendly and here to learn :)

Cover by @AdlerBourbon This story is about a dystopian social experiment devised by a disturbed professor. The town of Delphnea, a seemingly medieval village, is in fact an elaborate, controlled environment designed to simulate life in a bygone era. The professor has isolated the town from the modern world by erecting an invisible barrier, ensuring that none of the inhabitants can escape. His goal is to study how people behave when stripped of modern comforts and technology, reverting to primitive instincts and medieval societal structures. All of Delphnea's residents, including Carter and his father, are unaware that they are part of this grand experiment. They believe their lives are authentic and that they are living in a true medieval society. However, behind the scenes, the professor manipulates their environment-planting false information, monitoring their every move with hidden technology, and occasionally sending in outsiders like workers or agents to fix or alter parts of the experiment. The experiment is carefully crafted to test human behavior under duress, but over time, cracks begin to show. Modern elements occasionally slip through-like advanced technology, strange devices, and inconsistencies in the town's medieval setting-leading Carter and others to question their reality. As Carter and his friends uncover the truth, they realize they are pawns in a much larger game, a twisted psychological study where escape seems impossible and the professor watches every move from his hidden control room. In a world ruled by lies, the truth is deadly
