Published works

Revenant-X

Revenant-X, the second book of the Red Space trilogy, begins exactly where Paradise-1 left off. The novel, which blends sci-fi horror and space adventure, follows the crew of Artemis on their search of a seemingly deserted Paradise-1 for what is left of the colony they are trying to save. However, the colony, or what remains of it, is not human. Revenant-X was released on November 5, 2024.

Revenant-X is in reference to one of the characters in the trilogy.

Paradise-1

A blend of sci-fi and horror, Paradise-1 is the first novel in the Red Space trilogy about exploration and survival in deep space. In the novel, a police lieutenant who is tracking a serial killer finds that the suspect has kidnapped his victims and is keeping them imprisoned in a mining facility. After she calls in the arrest, her superior tells her to not report the discovery of the kidnapped victims, and she is reassigned to Paradise-1, a distant colony planet.

She is mystified by the order to not report on the kidnapping victims, who were filthy, hungry and unable to use language, and she perceives her reassignment to be a plan to get her out of sight.

Along with a doctor who was the only survivor from a different disease outbreak and a military pilot who was her former lover in college, she goes into cryosleep and embarks on the three-month trip in an unarmed transport ship. The humans are accompanied by a shape-shifting robot and an advanced AI module.

As the ship nears the planet, she is awakened from cryosleep by klaxons, as their ship is under attack from a nearby transport ship. As their ship is torn apart from projectiles, its communications and propulsion system becomes inoperable. Amidst the burning wreckage, the team sees that military vessels are converging on their ship. The team must improvise with the few remaining functions and tools to defend themselves and evade further attacks.
