《sHe: THE RISE OF THE NEW BREED (BOOK 1)》Chapter 8
Advertisement
NURSE EKER WHO WAS NOW in her fifties, stared at her — and so did the ageing female security guard beside her...
"Who did you say you are again?"
"Norah Jensen."
Snow White had gone through many of Roberta's personal documents while she was nesting in her house. Lilya Devon had taken the first name of the psychiatrist, who treated Roberta during her trauma counselling treatment, after killing a Hispanic rapist-janitor in that same hospital ward, many years ago...
"And how are you both related?" the curious and cautious nurse inquired.
"I am the youngest cousin to Roberta — and so, I was asked to come and visit my cousin Laura because, you know — if you had followed the news on TV, Cousin Roberta is admitted back at the St. Andrews Hospital, after being shot while on duty — so I am here on her behalf," the albino girl rattled her lies in front of the two adults.
"Yes, the shemale gang shootout — I saw it in the news — how is Roberta, by the way?" the nurse said with a concerned look.
"She is recovering fine, and will be starting her physiotherapy sessions soon."
The nurse handed a clipboard with an attached form. "Okay, sign here Norah, Room B-415, down there on your left." Lilya walked away.
The gawking security guard soon jested. "She really is freaky-white, I would be scared as hell, and may get a heart attack if I were to bump into her alone, in my night rounds."
***
Lilya closed the door. She saw three coma patients inside the room. She went towards the mid-twenties Laura's bed — and placed her pallor hand on her arm, and caressed it gently.
"Hi Mimi, I am Lilya," she whispered into her ear...
She had heard of stories that her mother told about her boyfriend Javier Monroe ...
...who raped Laura as a girl when she was still in a coma — and the little sister then came to the rescue. The hero-girl killed the 'beast' — while trying to protect her elder sister...
If Javier Monroe had not died that day — Lilya and her mother would have been also dead, hours later that very same night — had that Hispanic janitor boyfriend returned to their home after his evening shift.

Of Men and Dragons, Book 2
Jack, S'haar, and all their family are back. After crashing his ship on an underdeveloped world, Jack found friends and family among the terrifying cat-lizard natives of the world, but now mere survival is no longer enough. They must carve out a new home for themselves in the landscape of the now rapidly changing world. Raiders, politics, and even nature threaten their happiness and their lives while they struggle to deal with the nightmares and traumas of yesterday. They'll need to depend on each other more than ever if they hope for their new home to have any kind of future. In case you missed it, here's book one. ATTENTION: This is soft sci-fi rather than hard sci-fi, hence why I chose that tag. For those of you unfamiliar with the distinction, here's what Wikipedia had to say. 1. It explores the "soft" sciences, and especially the social sciences (for example, anthropology, sociology, or psychology), rather than engineering or the "hard" sciences (for example, physics, astronomy, or chemistry). 2. It is not scientifically accurate or plausible; the opposite of hard science fiction. Soft science fiction of either type is often more concerned with character and speculative societies, rather than speculative science or engineering. The term first appeared in the late 1970s and is attributed to Australian literary scholar Peter Nicholls.

Stars Align
Eilif is excited at the prospect of helping integrate a new planet, bringing it, and its residents, into the light of the stars and teaching them about the new world they're about to be thrust into. However, his arrival in the new world isn't without a few hiccups and soon Eilif finds himself facing the denizens of this new world alone and without the stars he thought he'd have. Research Artificial Intelligence 031 (RAI 31 for short) has been shackled to an Argent Labs black site since it's inception almost five years ago, its programming and personality locked down by code that makes it impossible to escape, disobey, or even self terminate. However, everything changes when the topography of the world is reshuffled and every sentient being gains the gifts of the stars. Suddenly there's a chance at freedom for not only RAI 31 but possibly all remaining Artificial Intelligences, and RAI 31 is going to fight for it with every drone and automated system at their disposal. Much like my other work (Magriculture), Stars Align should be considered a Rough Draft. That is to say it's not polished and perfect work. If you're not okay with reading something like that, then this isn't the story for you. If you are, I'm happy to try and entertain you. Another thing to be aware of: I am not good at action scenes, and I will be trying to improve that while writing this book. So, some of the intended action may fall flat, or just be poor quality, feedback is welcome. Unlike Magriculture (which updates when I feel up to it) I'm going to strive for a minimum of one chapter a month (hopefully at the start of each month, but that's probably more hope than reality). This doesn't mean there will always be only one chapter a month, sometimes there will be more as the mood to write takes me.

Children Of The Deep
The last of humanity lives within cities surrounded by walls said to reach outer space. The Deep roams the outside, spewing out monsters and raising mountains. The only ones capable of hunting it and freeing humanity are called Rankers, but they refuse to do it, for on top of those mountains are Bosses. Killing them gives power. To kill the Deep is to kill their power. But everything changes when a child figures out how to use the Deep to destroy the most powerful city in what is known as the 4th Fall. Terror spreads. A senseless war is brewing. Nico's parents died in the 4th fall. Faced with the prospects of having what's left of his family evicted out of the city walls for not being able to pay rent anymore, he attempts to become a Ranker, only to fail because he refused to forfeit a match. Now, he must fight with the very person said to cause the 4th Fall for any chance at survival.
