Isla grimaced as her boots dipped into the water, pushing the rowboat into the sea. Hopping inside, she stabilized herself before looking back at the sandy beach; James lay amongst the goods they’d brought to shore. Her fingers curled into a fist.
Great news! Volume 2 is now available on Amazon Kindle.
It can also be downloaded below here in this post.
Thank you all for your incredible support. I truly hope you’ve been enjoying the series so far, and I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on Volume 2. Happy reading! o7

Isla’s boots crunched against the coarse sand, grit biting at her soles while running across the rocky intertidal area. Gunfire continued to pepper the air. The sharp tang of salt hung in the air, every breath a taste of the sea as she rounded the rise ...

The line strained against her grip, the reel’s sharp clicks echoing louder than they should over the rhythmic hush of the waves, gently lapping against the rocks. Isla’s breath stayed steady, eyes flicking to the water where the god fish’s opalescent shimme...

The Dark Chaser had circled the island twice, slow and steady, its gentle engines becoming background noise at this point. Isla stood at the ship’s prow, hands gripping the cold, salt-stained metal rail as the misty horizon stretched in every direction....

“C’mon, Captain Reyes, don’t make me drag you,” Brigid snickered, tugging at Isla’s jacket sleeve with a grunt. Her blue eyes were sharp, and her brows raised in that ‘I’m not doing this alone’ look made Isla sigh as they got to the female...

A flicker. The space at the center of the rift shimmered, like glass bending under heat. A sharp ripple ran across its surface. Isla saw it before anyone else.

The soft, steady thrum of the Dark Chaser’s engine hummed through the hull, a deep, resonating pulse that Isla could feel in her chest. It wasn’t the chugging roar of a standard ship’s engine—this was something smoother, quieter, like the steady b...

Dr. Evelyn Hart adjusted her glasses, the faint clink of metal frames cutting through the room’s stark silence. The thick dossier before her bore a plain black cover—no logo, no title, just SITE-X0 and X-2 Clearance stamped across the top in bold, unassuming letters.

I am NOT stopping any other series. This is just a novella test.
Each story can be self-contained. Each on...
