When the first ever space cruise ship completes its inaugural tour of the solar system, Bellatrix 'Bella' Starr will catch a ride back home that she'll never forget. The ship docks at its final destination, a space travel corporation's half-moon beach hotel orbiting the gas giant Neptune. But a virus transforms all but the immune into bloodthirsty living zombies. On the faster return trip, Bella Starr and a group of immune passengers must navigate the dark corridors of the ship and find a way to warn port officials of the impending apocalypse before they reach Earth, and if all possible, live long enough to see the planet they call home.

[Publishing Updates Only] It's a bird, it's a plane, no, it's a... dragon? When scientists brought everyone's favorite fairytale creature to life, people flocked to see them, including Zelda Rissland and her little brother Amory. Little did they know, the scientists had created more than just dragons--they created a deadly parasite. Wyrmrot is what they later called it. First, it ate your brain, and then it made you eat other people's brains. Zelda's brother is now one of the Rotters, and the only person from her former life she has left is Cooper Marotta, her childhood friend turned boyfriend. Together they have managed to carve out a safe place for themselves in a world turned upside down, but their little survivor group is rapidly running out of food. It is only a matter of time before they start turning on each other. When mysterious coordinates appear on a construction sign, Zelda knows there is only one thing to do. Follow them. Described as Jurassic Park meets Resident Evil, this is an upper Young Adult Science Fiction novel told in dual timelines. There will be plenty of action and adventure with a dash of romance.

Together with her Captain, she sails the cold, dark void between stars at multiple times the speed of light-to ensure Humankind's survival. As Canaisis agrees to carry a religious order to their new colony planet, Captain Gareth Levant finds his solitude interrupted by a new culture and a woman, whose Gift threatens to break loose the pain locked within his heart. A pain he's carried since before the day they first launched... centuries ago. Captain Levant loves his ship as any good captain does since the beginning of time-whether with wind, sail and ocean waves as in the days of old, or in the vast depths of space. But if Canaisis were able to return that love, could it burn bright enough to light the way through the void in the Captain's own heart? Or does it require the Gift of human touch? ∞ ∞ ∞ By @kemorgan65 and @RavenRock2112 ∞ ∞ ∞ A prequel to the pre-story of #ShadowOfThePastTrilogy ∞ The Displaced. Hard science fiction for you!

The Drift: a colorful metaphor for the empty space between stars and planets, more closely describing the ever-expanding nature of galaxies and the universe itself. As a colloquialism, it is typically used to reference the gravitational currents and eddies running through the bleak, black nothing. Tales from the Drift is a science-fantasy serial telling the story of an evolving galaxy that is fraught with as many dangers as it is wonders. In Old Lessons, Hard Futures a guardian soldier, an indolent boy-pirate, an old warhorse, and a wayward hotshot find themselves caught in a tangle of plots set to unbalance the already teetering scales of power within the galaxy. --- --- Final chapter published: 05MAY2023. --- --- Cover Art and Headers created using Canva. - FutureSight - a YEAR 10000 story Complete

A retired pilot had thought she'd seen it all, until she's asked to become part of the first crew for a spaceship destined to land on a new planet. ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ Genevieve Autumn considered herself retired. She had served her time in the Air Force as a pilot, and in the Army as an officer. At least, she considered herself retired until she found herself on board the Patriot I, one of the first two spaceships to ever leave Earth. The Patriot I is a smaller, weaponized ship with a tough crew to escort the Pioneer, a ship full of humans meant to colonize the far-away planet Z-031. The main issue is that Z-031 is thousands of years away. Even with Earth's advanced technology, it will take three hundred years to arrive. The Pioneer is a Generational Ship, meant to survive in flight for so long. The Patriot is not. The crew will have to be cryogenically-frozen within the ship, asleep in flight for three centuries. As soon as Genevieve opens her eyes after centuries of being asleep, everything goes wrong. The crew remains asleep. The ship doesn't have enough power to sustain them. Her mind is turning against her with the side-effects of the cryogenic-freezing sleep. Lastly, there are enemies lurking just outside the hull of her ship. Genevieve is losing track of what is happening, but what she knows for sure is that none of it is what she signed up for. Author's note: I can't believe I need to specify this, but this story has no affiliation with politics. --Currently undergoing editing!-- - The Whispering Shadows of Valhalla Ongoing

Most of their business is taking cargo to and from the poorly-policed unaffiliated planets. They almost never make the same run twice, and if there's one thing they've learned, it's that owner-operators get all the most interesting work.
