A young astronaut is tormented by memories of the life and love he left behind during a one way trip to colonize Mars.
Martin rockets from Earth to establish the first human colony on the Red Planet. He and fellow volunteer astronaut Jomo make the dangerous seven-month slingshot across space knowing they will never return. Traveling to Mars was once thought impossible because there was no way back. But that was before anyone planned to make the journey a one way trip.
Personal tragedy has honed Martin and Jomo into ideal candidates, with a unique ability to endure and a resolve to abandon humanity for their isolated outpost. But as they struggle to adapt to the barren planet, they can still feel the pull of the blue dot in the sky.
For Martin, it's the memory of his childhood love, Gwen. On Earth, fate conspired to keep them apart. But with no chance to turn back, the love of Martin's life gives him new regret for abandoning Earth. Now, despite an abyss spanning millions of miles and no way to cross it, Martin wants to go home.
One Way Trip follows Martin's extraordinary life journey from Earth to Mars, as he confronts his past with Gwen, in a quest for an impossible future together.

In the grip of the Alien

It is a slow burn, but worth it. ~ After a devastating alien invasion leaves Earth in ruins, humanity struggles to survive in isolated zones, clinging to life behind barriers of failing technology. Lena, a skilled engineer with fierce determination, dedicates her life to maintaining what little remains of this protective technology-especially the light posts that keep the Xyvarians at bay. But when a search for medicine pulls her outside the safe zone, she encounters a certain alien. Towering, muscular, and adorned with sharp, curving horns, this alien is a calculated hunter, though his interest in Lena is anything but logical. Drawn to her, he pursues her in a dangerous game of cat and mouse, one that blurs the line between predator and prey. As Lena fights to evade capture, the tension between them ignites into a charged, forbidden attraction that neither can fully understand. He is unlike any alien she's ever faced-Machiavellian, dangerous, unyielding, yet inexplicably captivated by her. Lena, wary and unwilling to surrender, finds herself both repelled and fascinated by the Xyvarian who watches her with a gaze that burns with something far more primal. As she grapples with confusing desires and the disturbing revelation of a breeding program, Lena is forced to question everything-her survival, her humanity, and her heart. ~ (The artwork featured in my cover photo was sourced from Pinterest.
