December 25, 2012. Christmas. An annual Terra Firma holiday before the new year. But this was not for celebration, religious contemplation, and gifts under a green, twinkling tree in someone’s house. Humans, however, were recovering from the Wave’s devastating, life-altering effects that could get worse by the minute.

What Do We Know – Slipspace Communication and UTs
Throughout the Galactic Republic, Slipspace is rudimentary to the government’s power, the lifeblood to the Milky Way galaxy. But the technology is not a permanent stream; this universe is bound to its limitations. Being simple in design, an artificially grown crystal with a specific ion matrix is used as a fuel source and the true representation of hybrid tech.

Mana Pool – The Ghost Factor – Chapter 1 Sample
Happy Halloween, folks. The second novel is still not done. That's just the hard fact to stomach, and I know it's taking this long to write it. I figure that since it's taken this long, I'll just have to cave and share what I have. One chapter. Just one. That's all you will get for … Continue reading Mana Pool – The Ghost Factor – Chapter 1 Sample
