Fiction
The Luminant Series (formerly A Town Called Wonderful)
Full length novels following Luka’s journey as he learns of his heritage and abilities as a Luminant, a traveller of underlands throughout the earth. His childhood friend, Quinn, becomes so much more in their harrowing quests together as they search for Luka’s parents and truths around the mysterious underlands.
Underlands are organisms themselves but also house ancient civilizations are the root of most current mythology, from creatures like behemoths, leviathans, and chupacabras to fabled lands of El Dorado, Atlantis, and the Fountain of Youth.
Perpetual
We found the ultimate renewable energy source: ourselves.
When humanity exhausted the resources of Earth, we had to resort to harnessing energy in a different way.
And of course, the worst kinds of people will find ways to exploit and cheat. They are called siphoners, stealing the energy we perps work so hard for.
I plan to collect as much energy as I can and make the trip to Mecha, the best-paying bank in what's left of the U.S. At this rate, I'll never be able to get mom and Anise the care they need; there's no cure for Ohm's disease, but that won't stop me from doing everything I can to help them.
