TO FIND HARMONY YOU MUST FIND THE MONSTER
After a tragic loss, Harmony Rothchild is a young girl placed into slavery and forced into the life of servitude in one of the thousands of brothels that populates the outer rim planet of Halagan. Only after killing for her freedom does her journey begin as she undertakes the difficult task of going after those who took away everything that she loved. She must dig deep and embrace the monster that is inside her if she looks to hunt down the most powerful and most ruthless people that inhabit the seventeen systems.
She will go out to the desolate backwater planet of Tolvin-19 for the infamous Slave King. Hunt for the Black Maiden in the shining capital of Deledos. Seek the Friendly Betrayer in the confines of The Cell. And uncover the mystery of the Lone Beast on the home planet of the Argo Empire. But one name will remain as she will not sleep until the Mad Emperor and his mighty and unstoppable empire fall with him.
She will cross those names from her list, she will have her revenge, she will embrace the monster within, and she will not stop until she finds HARMONY, a novel written by James L. Gordon.

THE OUTCAST. BOOK ONE.
Full Synopsis The world ended not with fire, but with silence. After a cataclysmic event known only as The Fracture, Earth shattered into sealed megadomes-each a prison, each ruled with iron fists by ruthless councils. Every dawn, as the sky cracks open with pulses of violent, unpredictable light, humanity's remnants tremble for survival. Seventeen-year-old Kael Renn wakes in Dome-7 with no memory of who he is or how he got there-only a gnawing feeling that he's meant for something bigger. Inside, teens are forced into deadly "Trials," brutal tests designed to weed out the weak and forge obedience in the strong. But Kael's discovery of a mysterious map hidden within the fractured light itself sets him on a collision course with the Council and its dark secrets. With allies who may not be trustworthy-a sharp-witted fighter named Seris, a loyal mechanic named Jax, and a mysterious girl who claims she can hear the fracture-Kael must race against time. Because once the fracture dawns for the last time, only one will walk free. A storm is rising, and Kael may be the spark that ignites rebellion across the domes.

A Different Virus - Laura's Story
This is a second view point from my original story - A Different Virus - Heartfire. I highly advise reading the original book first. Intro: Laura was a happy child without a care in the world. She loved her parents and life was perfect. Nothing seemed like it could go wrong. People started talking about a bad flu that was spreading and sending some into a coma. Her parents grew worried and stocked the house in case of a pandemic. Months later another virus appeared. Her family was shocked when the news people started reporting that zombies were actually real and not just part of a horror movie. They were appearing in every country. Her parents reassured her that none of the zombie sightings had been anywhere close to them. Her life is turned upside down when her father ends up in hospital with the bad flu and mother exiles her upstairs for her safety. She was never allowed downstairs again. Weeks pass and the streets become deserted with the exception of the red eyed zombies that wandered around. One night she notices a swiftly moving figure with glowing blue eyes in the street below. Should she call out or remain silent? Is this fleeting shadow something that can help her or could this mysterious figure be even more dangerous than the zombies themselves? ---------------------- Ranked #1 Apr 10, 2018 (A huge thank you to all who read and voted!)
