Looking For Hope
After major coastal cities sink to the bottom of the ocean at the end of the twenty-first century, the richest inhabitants of Earth escape the planet to build new colonies in a distant solar system. Thirty six light years away from the Milky Way galaxy, centuries have passed and humanity is well established. Among the most notable establishments is a prestigious university for the study of alien biology. Moira, a girl with a pervasive developmental disorder, but a talented student nonetheless, navigates the challenge of interplanetary university life as she researches a rare and endangered species. When a deeper threat emerges that challenges the existence of these creatures, she must team up with her classmates and find a solution to a problem much bigger than they could ever hope to be. ***** Credits: The cover is courtesy of the brilliant @vertigo_moon from The Vertigo Graphics while the line editing/proofreading/grammar check was done with a lot of input from Halyn Bleiz a.k.a vin_elend from the Floret community and Katie Marie from the Coven of Bookworms community.

Into The Unknown
After a catastrophic war and a deadly virus that plagued the world, humanity is left divided, hunting each other down and murdering for vengeance... Or purely for fun. With humanity on the brink of extinction, and another war on the rise, a survivor is revived, given a chance to maybe, just maybe, save the world. ...And all she can remember is her name. ______________________________________ There is a name for those who mutated to survive the virus. I'm not talking about the immune, who can flush the disease straight from their system. I'm talking about The Freaks. If you listen to the rumours, after the Deathwave they started appearing from the wastes, people with no soul or conscience, although once human they now could be described as monsters. You'd think I'd agree, seeing as I ran away from them. But from where I stand, it's Humans who are the monsters.Complete

City Six
In the year 2052, a devastating virus, engineered by the Russian government as a bioweapon, escapes containment before its completion. Within a year, the world spirals into chaos. The virus not only turns its victims into the undead but also renders the very air toxic with the breath of the infected, forcing the remnants of humanity to rely on gas masks to survive. At the heart of this global catastrophe is City Six-a fortified, isolated city on the flat plains of an undisclosed location in Texas. It is said to be the last safe haven left on Earth. The story follows a survivor on a desperate journey to reach City Six, battling not just the relentless undead but also the perils of a collapsing world. But as the survivor draws closer to the fabled city in 2054, an even greater threat emerges. Something far more dangerous than the infected lurks in the shadows, and the question remains: is humanity ready to face what's coming?
