eTu'nes: A Fox's Lament by Zach Wood In Progress
17 year old Fui Yamataka is not your typical girl; far from it. From birth, she's always been sickly, being born with a whole plethora of illnesses and diseases that would've killed any normal baby at that time. Lucky for her, she lives in the year 2175, a full 150 years after the Heakaluesly, a race of spacefaring telepathic cepholopods, or squids as they are nicknamed, arrived on Earth, having narrowing escaped the destruction of their own planet and spending centuries abroad. Very advanced, the Hesk were able to move humanity forward on the technological table by a century, even creating perfect copies of the cities and metropolis' lost to the ocean. Like they did for humanity, they were able to help her; giving her experiment implants that allowed her to live past the diseases that wrack her so, but the same implants also run the risk of killing her too. Another thing that makes her unordinary is the fact that she is born with the ears and tails of a fox, something that has happened to no human. Some view her as the next step in humanity's evolution, others view her as a experiment gone wrong, but most just see her as a freak. Whichever case, in the past 17 years, her life has been torture, living in fear that her implants or illnesses will kill her. All that changed when she met En, a combat A.I. with the avatar of a cybernetic wolf 'on loan' to the Hesk by his creators not long before their home world was destroyed. However, the creators want him back, something he doesn't want. One fateful night brought the two of them together, and they soon discover that they can merge into one being with extraordinary abilities thanks to her implants. Whether by fate or coincidence, that's when things began to go wrong in the world as all sorts of evil began to creep out of the shadows. Doning the name 'eTu'nes', Fui and En find themselves as the only line of defense against a wave of villainy they have yet to encounter. Their lives will never be the same.

The Luna Incident: A Borderworlds Story by Serina Truscott-Duvall Completed
This is the story of the greatest tragedy in human history. This is the day that brought about the United Earth Government's ban on AI research. It is the moment that changed the course of the war and of the lives of every human being that survived. This is the story of the instant that would shape the future of the UEG and even the Borderworlds themselves. It was the darkest day in human history. It was the day twenty-seven million people died in the blink of an eye. We were told it was the fault of an artificial intelligence program gone rogue... but what if we brought it on ourselves? Note: This four part series will contain some spoilers to Borderworlds. If you're reading Borderworlds and don't want any additional information on the topic of the Luna Incident and related characters, I would avoid this for now.

Retribution: A Borderworlds Story by Serina Truscott-Duvall In Progress
The Retribution wasn't the newest ship in the Reprisal-class of destroyers. It wasn't the first of its kind. It wasn't unique. But the Retribution and her crew would be one of the catalysts that would shape the future of not only the Borderworlds, but the UEG, the Volgm, and indeed the entire Milky Way galaxy. She would herald the beginning of a new age, but her story begins before she was ever constructed. It begins with Jack Mitchell, the man who would one day be her captain. It begins in a small Midwestern town where a young boy lies in a field looking up at the stars and dreaming of what's out there, while never suspecting his journey, and indeed the journeys of countless more, are about to begin. Note: As always, this two part story, like all books in the "A Borderworlds Story" series, will absolutely contain spoilers for the main series. While this one is far less spoiler heavy than The Luna Incident, it does reveal some backstory and plot points that haven't come to light in the main series at the time of writing. Therefore, if you wish to read The Borderworlds without any outside knowledge, I would avoid this for now.

The Borderworlds by Serina Truscott-Duvall In Progress
In the distant future, the United Earth Government is at war with an advanced and powerful alien race; the Volgm. Out in the lawless expanse of space known locally as the Borderworlds, no one really gives a damn. Out there, all that matters is finding a way to survive one more day. For the crew of the transport ship Rubicon, most days are business as usual as they ship cargo for the Horizon Salvage Yards. At least until the Chief Engineer crosses a line the United Earth Government strictly forbids... and for good reason. Meanwhile, aboard the renegade UEG destroyer Retribution, the crew befriends a young girl who may or may not have their best interests at heart. Although they are both on separate adventures, none of them realize that their actions from these humblest of beginnings will change the fate of the galaxy. They have no idea that their actions will shape the destinies of empires and change the lives of billions. For now, they're just like everyone else in the Borderworlds; just trying to survive for one more day.

Star Wars: Rogues and Renegades by Zach Wood In Progress
It is a time of Civil War. Before the mission that would ultimately take his life, Cassian Andor had been tasked with developing a Black Ops squad for the Rebellion; a group that would handle the tasks that the leaders would detest. To that end, he knew who to hire: Smugglers, Pirates, Bounty Hunters, former Clone Wars generals and hold-outs- people who the Empire had angered over the years. The group: Renegade Squadron. Their mission: to make the Empire's life a living hell. It will not be easy; between their own agendas, being hunted by the Empire, and bitterness about past jobs, it'll be a miracle Renegade Squadron doesn't end on the first day, let alone the entire war.
