In the distant future, humankind has moved beyond earth and colonized the solar system. Life is tough for the hardworking Agarwal family, as they struggle to earn a living by harvesting asteroids from their home on Jupiter's moon of Io. It's a hazardous job, but thirteen-year-old Chandra Agarwal is not only a skilled gravel hound; she's the best pilot in the family. But now, Chandra and her father Vickert are faced with a new kind of peril. An ordinary mining run in the asteroid belt takes a strange turn when the Agarwals respond to a distress signal from an Earther transport vessel. Suddenly they are launched on a mysterious journey, "looping the belt", to transport three officials from earth out of danger. Soon Chandra discovers that she will need every bit of her skill and her courage to face not only the treacherous space of the belt, but a terrible secret that could mean the death of them all.

The Prince: Lucifer's Origins is Runner Up in the 2016 Shelf Unbound Best Indie Book Competition and...The Prince: Lucifer's Origins Reaches Semi-Finals in the 2016 Best Indie Book Contest in ScienceFiction/Fantasy/Dystopian Genres Prince Victor Venture the Ninth is a young twelve year old prince who has successfully avoided his call to serve, and has remained unnoticed on the university planet Pax where he studies old manuscripts and documents called "books" of ancient civilizations. Unfortunately, his luck has run out. His brother, Prince Jason of the Sagittarius Sector has made room in his court for the young prince, and the Royal Guard has been sent to collect him. All is not as simple as it would appear. Palace intrigues, conspiracies and lust for power pervades the Kingdom. And even under the watchful eyes of the ancient species, the Xenon, violence, atrocities and greed flourish. The prince's mentor, Bishop Miles, suspects more danger lurks for his young ward. To prepare him for the future, a "free thinking" artificial intelligent symbiont" is implanted in the prince's cortex instead of the traditional royal AI that focuses on duty and royal doctrine. Further, Bishop Miles enlists the services of two free thinking, moral soldiers - Sergeant Marcia Devin and Commander Jana Virgil, to insure safe passage. These vital steps are hoped to keep the prince safe. But nothing could prepare the prince and his supporters from the harsh world of the planet "Hell." Located in the ancient Sol System in the Origins Sector, the prince's transport is attacked and he is launched to the planet's surface so he can hopefully be rescued later. From Prince Victor's perspective, he is marooned in Hell for five year. This is a classic story of adaption, survival of the fittest, good versus and evil, the will to live, and the strength loyalty and friendship.
