The future of humanity is being built in orbit—if it doesn't collapse into war first.Humanity is finally reaching for the stars.Teleportation is changing the world overnight. A new generation of starships is rising in orbit. For the first time, expansion beyond Earth isn't theory—it's infrastructure, momentum, inevitability.And it's about to break everything.The Artemis Colony controls the rare earth supply that keeps Earth alive—and they're done playing partner. As resources tighten and timelines collapse, every solution comes with a cost, and every delay costs lives. Diplomacy fractures. Alliances shift. The system starts choosing sides.At the center of it all stands Kendra Cassidy.She's not interested in politics. She's not interested in waiting. And she's not willing to watch billions die while the future stalls out in committee.But building the road to the stars means deciding who gets to walk it—and who doesn't.As the first moves of a new conflict take shape, one truth becomes impossible to ignore:The next war won't be fought over territory.It will be fought over the future itself.Blending visionary science fiction, space politics, found family, and a dash of swashbuckling rebellion, The Road to the Stars charts the birth of a future worth fighting for.

Her wedding ended in gunfire. Now she's running for her life—and fighting for a future worth building.Aiyana Cassidy wanted one perfect day.She had the partner of her dreams. A quiet ceremony. A life of science, invention, and possibility ahead of her. But when the minister pulled a gun, everything changed.Now she and her wife Kendra are on the run across a divided America—a patchwork of independent nations and power-hungry factions where freedom is relative and safety is a luxury. They don't know who wants them dead, or why. All they know is that it started at the altar, and it hasn't stopped since.Kendra Cassidy is nobody's damsel. Raised in shadows and trained for survival, she knows how to disappear, fight back, and dig up answers people would kill to keep buried. Cass is brilliant. Kendra is dangerous. Together, they're impossible to stop.As they crisscross territories from the Northern Imperium to the California Confederacy, Cass and Kendra uncover pieces of a plan bigger than either of them—a plot that threatens to tip an already fragile world into chaos. To stop it, they'll have to rely on old contacts, new friends, and the kind of bond that's forged under fire and tested by every choice.This isn't just about survival. It's about justice. It's about truth. And it's about proving that two people who refuse to back down can be enough to change everything.Smart, fast-paced, and full of heart, Cassidy Chronicles Volume One kicks off a genre-blending saga that mixes political intrigue, breakneck action, and found-family loyalty with sharp dialogue and characters who refuse to be anything less than extraordinary.For fans of Firefly, The Expanse, and clever women with their fingers on the trigger and their hearts on the line.

"e;The Artemis War - Volume 4 gives readers a complete package, drama, love, suspense, excitement, heartbreak, danger, blood and humor. All in one book."e; - Bookish Reviews Control is breaking. Power is shifting. Nothing survives unchanged. The war everyone feared has arrived.Not as a single battle—but as a system-wide collapse.On Artemis, authority tightens its grip even as it fractures from within.What was once control is now desperation, enforced through power that's starting to slip.Beneath it, a quiet revolution has grown into something far more dangerous—a coordinated resistance that no longer needs permission to exist.And beyond the Moon, the Terran Federation is out of time.Diplomacy has failed.Alliances are shifting.And every decision now carries consequences measured in lives, not leverage.As fleets move into position and pilots like Daniela fight to hold the line against impossible odds, the conflict spreads across the Inner System—pulling governments, soldiers, and civilians into a confrontation no one can fully control.Because this isn't just a war.It's a fight over who defines the future—and what humanity is allowed to become when the structures holding it together begin to fail.And when it's over… there won't be a return to what came before.Triumph's Ashes is a sweeping, character-driven space opera of political fracture, rebellion, and large-scale conflict—where every victory reshapes the battlefield, and every loss echoes across worlds.Blending blistering military action, political intrigue, queer hopepunk energy, found family bonds, and a refusal to back down, Triumph's Ashes brings the Artemis War to a climactic, deeply human conclusion. "e;Sometimes, winning is harder than losing, as our intrepid heroines are finding out in Adam Gaffen's latest installment proves.

Revolutions don't begin with fire. They begin with connection. On Artemis, control isn't maintained by force.It's built into everything.The corridors.The data networks.The silence.Every movement is tracked. Every deviation corrected. Every life accounted for.Which makes rebellion almost impossible.Almost.Autumn Newling wasn't supposed to matter. A minor functionary. A problem quietly removed. A name erased into the system.Instead, she slipped through it.Now, hidden inside the very structure designed to contain her, she's doing something far more dangerous than fighting back—She's connecting people.A message passed where it shouldn't be.A system behaving just a little too slowly.A pattern no one was meant to see.Across Artemis, isolated acts of defiance begin to align.Beneath the surface, a network forms.And once it exists… it can't be contained.But Artemis isn't the only system under strain.Beyond the Moon, the Terran Federation prepares for a war it never intended to fight.Old alliances fracture.New ones begin to form.And the balance of power in the Inner System starts to shift.Because the most dangerous threat to a controlled world isn't open rebellion.It's people learning how to work together.A Quiet Revolution is a character-driven science fiction novel of hidden resistance, political fracture, and the moment a closed system begins to fail—from the inside out.The revolution begins in silence. The world hears it when it roars.

The future was built on a promise. Now it's being put on trial.Kendra Cassidy didn't just help launch humanity to the stars—she redefined what it could become. But as her influence grows, so does the resistance. Political rivals, corporate powers, and entire governments are beginning to ask a question no one can afford to ignore:What, exactly, is Kendra Cassidy?When legal challenges escalate into a coordinated effort to strip her of authority—and possibly her rights—Kendra finds herself fighting a battle she can't win with ships or strategy. Every alliance fractures under scrutiny. Every victory becomes evidence. And the system she helped reshape begins to turn against her, piece by piece.Because this isn't about territory.It isn't about power.It's about whether the person who changed the future is still allowed to be considered human.Blending high-stakes space politics, military rebellion, found family, and fiercely human ideals, The Measure of Humanity explores what it takes to defy an empire—and build something better.

Judgment was certain. Desire was not Kalili has been a demon since the beginning of history—and she is very good at her job. Assigned to corrupt a future pope in tenth-century Rome, she expects boredom, excess, and the usual petty sins of men who crave power. What she does not expect is an angel sent with explicit orders to kill her. Faith is everything Kalili is not: newly arrived, rigidly principled, and bound by rules she barely understands. She should be an executioner. Instead, she hesitates. She doubts. And in that hesitation, something dangerous begins. As Rome churns with ambition, corruption, and desire, Kalili and Faith are drawn into a collision neither side intended—one that threatens not just their lives, but the fragile balance between Heaven and Hell itself.

Heaven and Hell Have Noticed Kalili and Faith survived the moment they were never meant to survive.Now, the consequences begin.Exposed by forces far older and far more dangerous than either of them understood, the demon and the angel find themselves hunted from both sides of the War. Heaven wants Faith recalled—or erased. Hell wants Kalili controlled, activated, or destroyed. And everyone wants to know what happens when two Thirteens stand together.As ancient contracts surface, allies reveal hidden loyalties, and old powers move openly at last, Kalili and Faith are forced to confront an impossible truth: loving each other has made them stronger—and far more vulnerable.To stay alive, they must navigate politics they barely understand, bargains they cannot afford, and a destiny neither of them agreed to.Heaven and Hell are no longer watching from a distance.And the next move could tear the cosmos apart.
