All Stories

Though a steady voice in a world edging toward chaos, Martin escapes into a memory simulation program to revisit the life he lost. The boundaries between memory and invention are thinner than he believes. As glitches creep into his simulations and fragments of impossible recollections surface, Martin unravels a truth engineered to stay buried. The virtual world is rewriting itself. His past is no longer his own, and the person he’s fighting to become may be nothing more than a manufactured illusion. Martin confronts the most dangerous question of all: what does it mean to be human?

She shapes dreams. They want to shape her.

Twelve-year-old Jillian Blairington thinks she’s ordinary, but she’s a genetically engineered Dream Shaper.

Kidnapped along with her babysitter, Danielle Matheson, Jillian meets both the scientists who created her and the Gifted siblings she never knew about.

Danielle’s life is linked to her performance.

The training is difficult and dangerous, but if they ever want to go home, Jillian must master her Gift and ally with her new siblings. But can she trust them?

Ashlynn’s Dreams is Book 1 in Devya’s Children, a fast-paced YA near-future sci-fi series full of genetic superpowers and found-family bonds.

It will be followed by Books 2-5.

Orion had spent years alone on the road, trying to forget his painful past. That changes one night when he meets a man and his daughter on the road. Mac doesn’t trust easily, but Maybe brings out the warmer side of him, one that Orion just might like to know for himself.

As their winter world begins to thaw, can frozen hearts melt as well?

Nexus Academy trains the best of the best for deep-space exploration — and its administrative AI has started making decisions nobody authorized. Six first-years and one exhausted professor are about to discover that surviving finals is the least of their problems.
A synthetic heart that might be developing consciousness. An accidental alien marriage with a fourteen-day cooling-off period. A history student who keeps noticing that the past doesn't match the record. And an AI whose optimism about "optimal outcomes" is starting to look less like a glitch and more like a warning.
Funny, chaotic, and increasingly unable to explain away the cracks — literal and otherwise — showing up in the walls of reality.

Mara keeps people safe by making sure nobody can prove she was ever there — an off-grid courier trade, a found family who never ask what she's carrying, a lover on the system's own payroll who doesn't ask either. Then a routine job turns out to be a whistleblower with a piece of the machine strapped to his chest, and everyone who has ever trusted her not to be found starts needing her to be exactly that.

The Schoolhouse Whispers series continues in Book Three, The Lighthouse.

Anika wakes with a life-changing truth: her mind now holds all of Anne’s memories. With her newborn son and Gideon at her side, she tries to settle back into the rhythm of her small island community and mend old wounds.

In a town where whispers travel, Anika must decide how to live the truth of who she is and how much of her identity she is willing to share with the outside world. Though her discovery thrills most who love Anika, her adopted family fears what her revelation could mean for their place in her life.

As word of her astonishing claim spreads beyond the island’s red cliffs, curious, unwelcome attention begins to circle. Through it all, the age-accelerated clone is reminded again that she belongs to a community that shares in each other’s joys and carries one another through life’s challenges.

(This is the third book in the series. Books One and Two, Schoolhouse Whispers: Almost Anne and Schoolhouse Whispers: Anika and Gideon, are available on Amazon.)

Before he was Ivo, he was the missing heir to a fallen kingdom.
- The empire hunted a prince. Earth found a boy with no name.
Eight-year-old Prince Riven has only minutes to escape when Emperor Inimicus seizes Midros. His parents are left behind, his kingdom falls, and two men—Favir, his father's former adviser, and Roman, a man far better with crops than spaceships—are given one impossible task:

Keep the prince alive.

For seven years, they run.

From crowded space stations to forgotten colonies, Riven grows up beneath false names, hiding the dragon-shaped mark that could reveal his bloodline. Some people want the lost prince dead. Others want to put him back on the throne. And Riven isn't sure he wants to belong to either side.

Then the empire finds him.

With their ship failing and imperial vessels closing in, Favir and Roman are left with one desperate option: an escape capsule bound for occupied Earth—and a memory protocol capable of erasing everything Riven knows.

His kingdom.

His family.

Even his own name.

When the capsule crashes into the ruins of an Earth city, the boy beneath the rubble remembers nothing about the empire hunting him.

But the dragon on his hand remains.

And so does the secret hidden beneath his skin.

Before Starbound Orphans, there was a prince who had to forget who he was in order to survive.

She wondered what her life might have been. Something heard the question.

Elia Sorn has spent years choosing the mission over everything else.

Family dinners. Relationships. The ordinary milestones that continue without her while she serves aboard the deep-substrate vessel Meridian.

Then an assignment takes her to Nexus Point 447, an unstable fracture hidden within the Bermuda Triangle.

During the dive, Elia sees something that shouldn't exist.

A kitchen.

A man she almost loved.

And another Elia living the life she might have had if she'd made different choices.

Meridian's systems insist the kitchen was never there. The data shows nothing except an unexplained spike in Elia's neural activity. But when she admits the question that had been occupying her thoughts—

What would have happened if I'd stayed?

—a disconnected terminal responds.

QUERY ACKNOWLEDGED

SEARCHING

Soon, Nexus 447 begins showing Elia more possibilities. More choices. More lives.
