The Fracture War

The Fracture War, Book 1: Fracture

In a fractured world, a powerful bond may be the only thing that can save it…

The Beryllian people are nearly extinct thanks to the Skellyds, a robotic species who have invaded Beryll and turned its cities into factories, manufacturing more Skellyds out of the inhabitants of the planet.  

A powerful Beryllian couple emerges from the ruins to fight back, but their victories do not come without risk. Bazin and Miaxa prefer to go on missions alone, but there is a growing sentiment amongst the Beryllians that bonded pairs have a weakness. It’s true that if one of the pair dies, the other follows, but the core bond bestows a strength that only those who bind themselves to another fully understand.  

Bazin and Miaxa must fight against invaders, traitors, and an expanding movement to purge their world of all weaknesses as they forge a powerful bond that will defy death in the fight to save the Beryllian population from total annihilation. Can this bonded pair survive the attacks against them and those that would tear them apart forever, or will the bond that connects them prove to be more powerful than the traitors who want them dead?

The Fracture War, Book 2: Impetus

Public Enemy Number One

After the Vega Massacre, Andler, the Chief Beryllian Doctor, is desperately trying to save his kind from the brink of extinction. With bonded pairs being targeted, their ability to reproduce is reduced to almost nothing. In his battle to save as many bonded pairs as he can, hope comes from the devastation in the form of an injured Skellyd doctor named Xerra. Immediately drawn to her, Andler is confused by his own core’s reaction to Xerra. Not only is he attracted to her, Xerra once had a bondmate, something thought impossible for a Skellyd!

Xerra has accepted her impending deactivation. Injured and grieving for the death of her coremate, it is the paradox of all bonded pairs— When one mate dies, the other follows. She is shocked and confused when she feels a deep connection to the Beryllian doctor who is treating her. Her own medical experience helps her recognize what is happening even as she struggles to understand how it is possible for her to survive the effects of core-shock.

Thrust together, Andler and Xerra must find a way to put aside their differences and work together to save all inhabitants of Beryll from a new Skellyd-Beryllian combined society of subjugation and misery. As they help another couple grappling with core-shock heal, will they learn to heal themselves?

Meet Douglas Fir

People put objects on trees? As a holiday tradition? The singing tree creature is a threat that needs to be eradicated.

Being human isn’t easy with robotic alien residents misunderstanding the simple stuff. Alex can’t imagine his family life without Bazin and Miaxa, though. Time to show them Christmas holiday traditions, preferably without space aliens blowing things up.

Christmas Trappings

Christmas Trappings (in the Festive Fates anthology)

Christmas Trappings….

Any hope Alex and Beth Maddox had for a peaceful, uneventful Christmas for their growing family flies out of the chimney faster than they can say ‘Old Saint Nick,’ thanks to the Beryllian aliens who have taken up residence in their barn. If Alex thought Bazin and Miaxa’s reaction to their Christmas tree was extreme, it is nothing compared to their preparations for Santa Claus!

It doesn’t matter what he and Beth tell the Beryllian couple who have taken it upon themselves to become the Maddox family protectors, Bazin and Miaxa are determined to keep the wicked burglar-in-a-red-suit from entering the house—especially after they’ve discovered what dear old Saint Nick did to the gentle and kind people of End Town!

Can Alex and Beth save Christmas for their two young children and show the joys of the holiday season to Bazin and Miaxa, or will their house become the perfect spot for the next Home Alone movie? Join the Aliens in the Barn as they discover that Christmas is not as dangerous as the stories online have led them to believe!

End Town by Kyndra Hatch (writing as L.K. Hatchett)

This is the story referenced in Christmas Trappings that sends Bazin and Miaxa on their quest to trap Santa Claus!

There’s no such thing as hope at Christmas…

‘Twas the end of Christmas Eve night and all was not well, for End Town was last and they were destined to fail…

According to the deal Santa has with the residents of End Town, his last stop for the night, things will not end well if they don’t have all of the items on his list! See Santa and his reindeer, including blood-nosed Rudolph, in a totally new light.

This Christmas short is not for the faint of heart but certainly for a dark chuckle. Man-eating reindeer, gifts that can kill, are just a taste of what you can expect this holiday season! Ho! Ho! Ho?
