When he isn't pulling heiresses out of high-priced clubs on the newly terraformed Venus, he's pulling the strings of daddy's luxury cruise line empire.

novel 1 of the "stars" series: Lost among the stars
a gripping young adult science fiction novel that follows Juan Estrella, a technically gifted teenager with an almost supernatural ability to understand machinery. En route to a new colony world aboard the massive starship *New Eden*, Juan's life is shattered when a mysterious and powerful alien force attacks, obliterating the vessel and scattering the survivors. Juan escapes the devastation with a small group of fellow teens, only to be captured by the ruthless pirates of the *Scavenger's Blessing*. Thrust into a brutal world of slavery and survival, Juan must use his unique talent not just to fix the pirates' broken ship, but to master it from within. His plan for a quiet rebellion becomes infinitely more complex with the discovery of Lyra, a mysterious alien princess held in stasis-a priceless cargo that a terrifying galactic warlord is hunting to reclaim. As Juan evolves from a quiet mechanic into a reluctant leader, he and his friends must navigate a galaxy of dangers: from the brutal pirates who own them, to the genocidal warlord on their tail, and a nightmarish biomechanical plague known as the Scourge that consumes all in its path. Forced to make impossible, soul-scarring choices, Juan learns that survival in the cold void of space requires more than just fixing machines-it demands becoming a commander, an ally to strange new life, and a warrior in a hidden war that could determine the fate of the galaxy.Complete
The Demons of Oibahn
Four strangers find themselves trapped in a cage without any knowledge of the past three years. To figure out what happened, they'll have to somehow get along, then investigate every lead together. None of them are prepared for the wars they'll fight through, or even the truth. This is the first book I ever ever wrote, so it's a little rough. Consider it non-canon. This takes place well after the Silent Veil, at the end of ACT 1 for the overarching plot. This contains spoilers basically, but most of those plot points have changed anyways since this book was written. There are also themes I don't exactly align with anymore. I plan to completely re-write this story in the future. For now, I hope you'll enjoy what I did about this thing: fun characters going through a fun romp in space. What to expect: Fun, action, disco! George 'Slick' a disco legend that can glue anyone together. Kielbir a merciless pirate, but he doesn't remember that bit. Donid a sniper poet with daddy and mommy issues. Lou Hull an engineer with lacking self confidence. Be prepared for a love triangle, a great political conspiracy, and horrific discoveries.Complete
