Science Fiction

From a royal picnic in 1594 to the gritty, neon-drenched streets of 1994 Los Angeles, Queen Katana’s world has shattered in a heartbeat. When a mysterious golden necklace with a pulsing red gem rips open a hole in time, Katana is thrust five centuries forward, landing naked and defenseless in a world of steel towers and horseless carriages. She is far from the throne of Germany, and she isn’t alone. Hunted by ECLIPSE, a shadowy agency obsessed with the gem’s power, Katana finds an unlikely ally in Zort, a small indigo-skinned alien who knows exactly what it’s like to be an outsider in a hostile world. As Katana struggles to navigate the technological chaos of the twentieth century, the man she left behind—Milton von Hammerstein—is descending into dark occultism to bring her back, inadvertently tearing the fabric of reality even further. With the help of a jaded LAPD detective and a homeless physicist, Katana must master the power of the red gem before a corporate-cultist alliance weaponizes the rift. Time is running out, and the boundaries between centuries are dissolving. To save her future and her past, Katana may have to sacrifice everything she’s come to love in this strange new world.

Thunder Creek Road

A high-octane race against predatory intelligence where the road ends in blood

Mystery
Thriller
Horror

The shortcut was supposed to save lives. Now, it’s a slaughterhouse. Veteran trucker Brady ‘Hammer’ Stone has one job: deliver a time-sensitive shipment of pediatric vaccines through the rugged peaks of British Columbia. With lives on the line and a bonus in his sights, he takes a private mountain pass to beat the clock. But Thunder Creek Road isn’t just a detour—it’s a trap. A barricade of mangled steel and abandoned cars blocks his exit, and the asphalt is scarred by something with unnatural strength. As the sun dips below the horizon, Hammer realizes he isn’t alone. A group of terrified survivors reveals the horrifying truth: the woods are home to pale, intelligent predators that don't just hunt—they sabotage. They’ve cut the lines, disabled the engines, and are waiting for the fuel to run out. Trapped inside his heavy rig, Hammer must turn eighteen wheels of cold steel into a mobile fortress. But these monsters use mimicry and psychological warfare to lure their prey into the dark. If the truck stops, the vaccines spoil. If the barricade holds, they’re all dead meat. On Thunder Creek Road, the most dangerous thing isn't the breakdown—it's what's waiting for you to step outside.
