Red Mirage
In 2042, humanity's greatest ambition becomes reality: the colonization of Mars. A multinational team races to establish a settlement on the towering slopes of Olympus Mons before rival factions claim the planet. But the chosen site holds a dark secret. Explorations uncover a cavern where the colony's main dome was to be built - a cavern that shouldn't exist. Stranger still, it moves. Inside lies an impossibility: a human skeleton, far older than any Earthly missions to Mars. And scrawled on the cavern wall, four cryptic words that defy explanation. What begins as a pioneering mission to secure humanity's future spirals into a nightmare of unraveling sanity and relentless mystery. Trapped millions of miles from Earth, the crew must confront the truth of what they've found - and what it means for all of humanity. The next shuttle home won't arrive for a year. Can they survive long enough to unravel the secret of Mars? Or will the Red Planet claim them too?Complete

Return to Earth
This is a completed novel that has been proofed. Editing will begin in April, 2022. Shortly after the first ships were sent to colonize Mars all communication with Earth was lost. The other ships that were supposed to arrive never did. What had started as the first of many became the only ones. Domes were built to protect the people living there, since Mars could not be conquered as the early scientists had hoped. Rather than their dreams of taming a planet, they settled for living with a place never meant for humans. Kierst is one of the descendants of those early settlers and works on the interior of one the domes. His job gives him the solitude he prefers with both work and home. He has no family and no friends, which is one of the reasons he is chosen to learn the truth about what happened to Earth and why everyone on Mars must return. He is among a small group who are entrusted with the greatest secret of his government. If his group fails, there will be no future for those living on Mars. Their secret fate lies with those who must return to Earth.Complete
