Lightning Strikes and Harper T's Timewave is born. This story follows a group of four seventh graders. Harper ends up with the power to control time, to a small extent. Harper shares this ability with this small group of friends. What do seventh graders do with time control? Not anything an adult would use it for, that is for sure. The kids go on a drugstore caper, mess with a bully, muddle with a teacher, save the chemistry class, and so much more. Of course, Harper also gets some payback on the older brother. Enjoy this story as it is told through the words of Harper. Book Two soon to follow.

RS923 was born on the Rising Star, but Angel would soon take over. Follow the main character as she not only has to save her friends, but must also save the Rising Star. This story is the first of a MG Sci-fi series. Even though it is sci-fi, this story is really about a group of kids and all the many adventures that they pursue throughout the universe. These kids spend a vast amount time on their own and must quickly learn to be independent. They must solve their own problems. The group of kids are quite varied, some younger, some older, some male, and some female. The kids live in our distant future. Their lives are quite different from our own. However, kids will still be kids, no matter where and when they live. In the future names are not a thing any more as people are named by the number and ship or space city that they are born on. However, the kids still manage to find their own names, thus, Angel is born. These kids have many different adventures and yet still the same problems that kids may come across today, and yes there are still bullies in the future. Both science and chemistry come into play in this adventure, in such things as speculative space travel, in battling space pirates, and in capturing a blue blob. One can even learn a few new words or dabble in the new Tahuke language. In the end, even a twisted mess of time travel has to come into play.
