The Never-Ending End of the World

Going Dark

Two years ago a new medical nanite advance divided humanity into three types: humans, deaders and the frightening in-betweeners that crave human flesh. Emily's world has grown quiet and ordered, her days bounded by mornings killing deaders at her fence, and nights huddled alone in a warehouse office. She's begun to believe life will always be this way, alone with the dead or fighting in-betweeners for her life. But even that life is better than the alternative. Everything changes when one of the deaders at the gate isn't a deader at all. He's an in-betweener different from any Emily has seen before...and he has a message. The In-Betweener is book one of the Between Life and Death series. The Between Life and Death series is suitable for ages 16 and up, with occasional violence and mild language.

Ella is an excellent PePr private investigator and she’s got one heck of a case on her hands. PePrs are disappearing, falling completely off the grid with no way to recover them. The number of disappearances has grown so high that disturbing rumors are beginning to circulate. The worst is that the underground has finally reached the city. The very notion of escaping PePrs, left to their own devices and possibly looking for payback against their less-than-kind owners, is making the humans jumpy. And that makes those humans willing to hand over a very big paycheck if Ella can find the underground. More if she can break the system that is funneling all that sentient property out of the city. Ella’s boss is eager for that paycheck, but when he calls her into the office one day to give her the worst news possible, she’s no longer sure which side she should be working for. As Ella and her new trainee – a sex-bot reject with no sense whatsoever—scour the city and follow a tantalizing trail of clues, everything she thought she knew about the world is called into question. If she’s not careful, it could also mean the end of her existence…or an entirely new beginning.

Silo 49

Silo 49 has endured. In Going Dark they freed themselves from the WOOL agenda. In Deep Dark they discovered their forgotten past. In the third installment of the Silo 49 series, all that they have worked for through the generations finally comes to fruition. The dawn is near and the long dark is finally ending. Lillian and Leo - cousins and best friends - enter the lists for the 89th Race in Silo 49. The prize they seek is the singular honor of running outside, with no boundaries and no walls to hem them in. But the run is much more than a simple, but risky, trip outside to map their surroundings. The silo is falling apart, age and wear showing in every crack and seam. If the Others will not die out and let the world be reborn, then they must seek a way around the Others and find the blue skies for themselves.
