The Zyphin Legacies: Book One
Completed
Kiros Asaphath is a traveler. But not just any traveler. She's the youngest explorer in the Uphro galaxy. She's been to every planet, from Minu to Edina. She's resourceful, intelligent, clever, and cunning.
But she's not perfect.
When she crash lands on a planet she's never been on, in a galaxy she doesn't recognize, it will take all of her wits and all of her strength to survive.
Not to mention the maniac who has made it his mission in life to track her down and kill her, or the past she never knew about coming to haunt her.
One thing's for sure: she's in for one heck of an adventure. _____________________________________________________________

Radiant Shadows
Sophie Taylor is a force of nature. With her sun-kissed blonde hair, piercing green eyes, and a radiance that captivates everyone she meets, she seems destined for greatness-or disaster. As a fearless journalism student at NYU, Sophie's knack for uncovering hidden truths is matched only by her reckless streak. Balancing late-night parties and dangerous investigations, she dives headfirst into her latest target: VelGenics, a biotech giant tied to human disappearances and illegal trials. But her charm and defiance attract more than trouble-they draw the attention of the supernatural world. Adrian Velmount, the prince and enforcer of an ancient and ruthless vampire dynasty, is sent to silence Sophie before her investigation exposes their secrets. Cold, calculating, and impossibly handsome, Adrian is a master of control, armed with centuries of medical knowledge and a reputation that inspires fear across the supernatural realm. Killing a human should be routine-until he feels the bond, the soul connection vampires revere but Adrian despises. Sophie's innocence and recklessness clash with Adrian's precision and darkness, creating a dynamic neither of them can escape. As VelGenics escalates its experiments, Sophie becomes a pawn in a deadly game she barely understands. When she's captured and subjected to cruel trials, it's Adrian's expertise in medicine that saves her life-again and again. Despite his disdain for the bond, Adrian finds himself unable to abandon her, even as his family brands him a traitor. But Sophie's stubborn determination and fearless spirit are as dangerous as her beauty, dragging both of them into a web of betrayal and danger. With VelGenics hunting her and Adrian defying his family to protect her, their bond grows stronger-forcing Adrian to confront the humanity he's buried and the vulnerability Sophie has never known.Complete

Midnight Travels: Fruits Of Forced Labor
Minokawa, an apathetic alien Night Witch; Emi, a cold bodyguard, are on a year-long mission flying the starship Firebird. However, when they quickly find a stowaway; Alana, eager to explore the stars- a barrage of asteroids ambushes them, forcing the Firebird to crash onto a desert planet for refuge: Gaia.

I Don't Seem So Bright in a Well-Lit Room
"This book speaks to anyone with a neurodivergent brain, that may feel like an alien here on earth. I swear Browning made me laugh and cry and question reality...sometimes all in the same sentence." -JD Todd, author The universe is a very strange place. It will take even stranger heroes to save it. Potto is dim-witted, extremely forgetful and incredibly naïve. He wasn't always this way. Aye-Aye is devilishly shrewd and has boozed his way into a comfortable existence of incompetence and sleaze. How they ended up being two of the most wanted aliens in the galaxy is anyone's guess. Chased down by every oddball bounty hunter in the known universe, and befriended by a libidinous assassin, a fire-breathing reptilian, and a telepathic tree, their misadventures take them past Earth (the mall planet), to a floating sex circus, a planet of killer stuffed animals, an underground spaceship impound lot, and to a planet of reasonably priced bungalows. All while flying around in a ship powered by the brain waves of a psycho killer. A great prophecy proclaims that only "one of light, and one of dark" can save the universe from the dictatorship of The Node. That can't be Potto and Aye...Potto doesn't know what the word prophecy means, and neither know how to spell it. Part sci-fi epic, part absurd dark comedy, I Don't Seem So Bright in a Well-Lit Room is a comment on human behavior, depression, anxiety, and self-esteem. But way more fun than that sounds. So, do up your space seatbelts...it's going to be a bumpy ride. Despite the lack of potholes in space. (Sci-fi /Dark Humour/Absurd) *Completed! Enjoy!

THE RISKS
"You can't tell me there isn't something here worth risking everything for." [New Adult Apocalyptic Romance] Summary: There are some things that you can't outrun. That becomes all the more obvious when the world is ending, when there's nothing left but the feral creatures that were once people, consumed now by a virus that's made them cannibalistic and ravenous. It might just be easier to end it all, but Claire still has one last thing to fight for. Her younger sister. And she intends to keep her safe, no matter the cost. So, with no other options and her sister in tow, Claire ventures out into the dangers of this new, unforgiving world in search of safety, security, and answers to some long burning questions. The first two things -along with some new, unexpected questions- she finds in an unlikely place: a stranger who she's become indebted to. She has a feeling he can help her answer all her questions, if she can allow herself to fully trust him. Trust, she thinks, is a fragile thing. Humanity, a construct. Love, a weakness. But these are the thoughts of a survivor, and she's beginning to wonder if surviving is all she wants. Maybe she wants to live.
