The Ritual of Strength begins with the words ,"I am powerful, as fire is powerful."

When I conceived the idea of Pietas performing a ritual to remind himself of his own prowess, I knew it would have to include the elements of fire, air, water, and wind. That he used to do it in public but now only in private made me wonder... Why? Why did he stop performing this in public? Why only with his twin sister? He and Dessy cannot be in the same room without sniping at one another. He doesn't trust her, not after she betrayed him so many years ago. Then why?

Because he showed her his most vulnerable side to prove he had no fear. Not of injury, not of ridicule, and most certainly not of her.

But it was not until I wrote book two, Forged in Fire, that I realized why he started doing the ritual in the first place.

20+ Books in an Indie Space Adventure #MilitarySciFi #PietasFans #EnterTheEmpire

Indie Space Adventure: Your Portal to Indiependent Sci-Fi

In an era where storytelling transcends traditional boundaries, the Indie Space Adventure offers readers an array of indie authors who explore the vastness of space through their unique interpretations of science fiction. From interstellar voyages to the intricacies of alien civilizations, the stories presented here represent diverse visions of what lies beyond our planet.

Independent authors have long carved out their niche in the literary world. They bring fresh concepts, innovative ideas, and diverse perspectives that often go unexplored in mainstream publishing. With Indie Space Adventure, readers can explore the depth of creativity that only independent writers can provide. Each work offers an opportunity to experience the cosmos in ways that are both artistic and thought-provoking.

Indie Space Adventure: Your Portal to Independent Sci-Fi

The genre of science fiction has always served as a mirror for social commentary, technological speculation, and philosophical musings. Within the pages of independently published works, readers will encounter thought-provoking explorations of artificial intelligence, life on distant planets, and the ethics of advanced technologies. These authors create worlds that challenge our understanding of existence and often reflect on human nature itself.

Each title featured in Indie Space Adventure is curated to provide readers with a full spectrum of storytelling. This encompasses everything from thrilling space operas that depict epic battles among star systems to quieter, introspective tales about individuals experiencing profound personal transformations within the cosmos. The ambitious scope of these stories can transport readers from the depths of black holes to the colorful landscapes of newly discovered planets.

As readers explore various narratives, they might find themselves immersed in the politics of an intergalactic federation or examining the ecology of a terraformed world. Indie authors often defy genre conventions, blending elements of fantasy, horror, and speculative fiction. This dynamism enriches the reading experience, appealing to fans who seek more than predictable plotlines and familiar tropes.

Unique Viewpoints

What sets these indie works apart is often the willingness of authors to experiment with form and approach. Writers draw inspiration from their individual experiences, cultures, and imaginations. This lends authenticity to the stories, allowing readers to encounter unfamiliar customs, languages, and technologies that may not feature in traditional science fiction. Young protagonists discovering their identities in alien environments, seasoned explorers facing moral dilemmas in unknown galaxies—these are the narratives that indie authors bring to life.

Readers can also expect a range of stylistic choices, with some authors employing lyrical language that evokes vivid imagery, while others take a straightforward approach that emphasizes action and adventure. The varied storytelling techniques add richness to the experience, ensuring that every reader can find something that resonates with their preferences.

Science fiction serves not only as entertainment but also to speculate on future possibilities. Independent authors often tackle themes that reflect current societal issues, such as climate change, artificial intelligence ethics, and existentialism. Through speculative frameworks, these narratives push readers to consider how current actions might shape the future.

With the growing availability of digital platforms, indie authors can reach readers directly, bypassing traditional publishing obstacles. By supporting independent writers, readers contribute to a diverse literary landscape where innovation thrives. Each purchase represents a vote for artistic expression and a recognition of the importance of voices outside the mainstream.

As readers immerse themselves in the pages of these indie works, they become part of a broader movement that champions creativity and originality. Whether you are looking for thrilling plotlines, deep philosophical questions, or imaginative landscapes, Indie Space Adventure has something to offer.

By exploring the vast and varied works of independent authors, readers have the chance to expand their horizons and encounter stories that challenge the status quo. The realm of science fiction is richer and more vibrant with these unique contributions, allowing for an authentic exploration of themes that matter both within fiction and in our real world.

Take this opportunity to explore indie science fiction, appreciating the myriad voices and perspectives that collectively redefine the genre. Each story beckons you to experience new worlds, concepts, and ideas waiting for you to unfold. Enjoy this journey through the imagination and creativity of independent authors, and prepare to be transported to the farthest reaches of the universe.

Excerpt from Surrender Love

Luc and Izzorah have just become lovers, and after sex, they wander into the kitchen for snacks in the middle of the night. They kick back and talk, getting to know one another.

I need a vacation

Surrender Love: Antonello Brothers: Immortal #SciFiRomance #MMRomance"This is the best evening I've had in months." At the table, Luc slid down in his chair and stretched, reaching both arms over his head. "I need some time off. I think I'll take you for a week of vacation. Spend some time getting to know you better."

"A vacation?" Izzorah's ears perked up. "Where?"

"Where do you want to go?"

"I-- I've traveled with Kumwhatmay, but I've never vacationed in the Empire."

"Not even the beach?"

Izzorah shook his head. "Never been."

"The beach it is. Can you swim?"

"Yes. I used to go camping back home. We had rivers. I can paddle a tsiyusdi."

"Say that again, slower."

"Chee-yoos-dee."

"Which means...?"

"It's a kind of boat. You know, a device to get water in your shoes and your butt wet."

A hand over his chest, Luc laughed aloud. He stood, knelt beside Izzorah's seat, and drew him close. Luc kissed him as if kissing were all he had to do. Like he would take forever.

Izzorah arched toward him, yielding.

When Luc pulled back, he dropped a tiny kiss on the end of Izzorah's nose. "I know this was your first time. Are you sore?"

Izzorah's cheeks went scalding hot. He'd spent the last few hours stark naked with this man, yet here he was blushing over a question? He needed to get a grip. Drooping both ears down and back, he gave one negative shake of his head.

"Not anywhere?"

Though he squirmed, Izzorah met Luc's gaze. "Okay, a tiny little bit, but I don't mind."

Luc took Izzorah's hand. "I don't want you in pain."

"It's not pain. It's more a burn from hard exercise. You know how when you get your second wind and your muscles ache afterward, but it still feels worth it. It's like that. I'm satisfied in a way I've never been. As if all the tension I ever felt is gone from my body."

Luc held his gaze for a long time, saying nothing. Izzorah felt "studied" in a way he couldn't explain. At last, Luc's mouth curled into a slow smile and he leaned in and kissed him. Sweet, loving, gentle.

"This was your first time. I wanted to make it special." He stroked a fingertip along Izzorah's left ear. "I'm glad I didn't disappoint you."

"Disappoint? Oh, Luc!" He drew his lover's hand close and kissed his palm. "It was so much better than special. Every time I imagined how my first time would be, it was never as good as what we did."

A crisp mint of gratitude sparked. Luc broke into a serene smile. "I'm glad I could be good for you. You're good for me."

Izzorah slid one claw tip along Luc's jaw, the light stubble their. "Am I?"

"Yes. You make me laugh and you help me relax. I need that."

The scent of Luc's contentment made Izzorah's own troubles disappear. There were no deadlines, no concerts or tours. No practice sessions. No fans to please. Nothing but this man. His lover. His rescuer.

His hero.

In this scene, Luc meets the members of a rock band managed by one of the companies he owns, and when he shakes hands with the drummer, a Kin, things change. The Kin are a catlike race, human overall, but with distinguishing feline characteristics.

Excerpt from Surrender Love: the meet cute

Surrender Love: Antonello Brothers: Immortal #SciFi #MMRomanceLuc offered his hand to the shorter, dark-haired Kin. "You must be Izzorah."

The youth took his hand and looked up at Luc. Gentle face, softer than most Kin, but that square jaw bespoke strength. His hand trembled and felt clammy, a sure sign of fear.

Luc wrapped it with both his in a reassuring grip. "Welcome to Tarth. I hope..." The oval, catlike pupils and emerald eyes pulled Luc down into their quiet depths. As if he stared into a deep and tranquil forest pool, the tension of the day faded. Mesmerized, Luc held Izzorah's hand.

A peach-colored blush stole across the Kin's cheeks and he lowered his gaze and withdrew his hand, breaking the spell.

"Uh..." Luc gave himself a mental shake. "Welcome to Tar— er, I said that." He stammered like an adolescent meeting a crush. "I meant to For Women Only. No, to Lucsondis." He pinched the bridge of his nose. "Forgive me. I've been all over this morning. So busy I forgot where I was." What was wrong with him? It wasn't as if he'd never seen a gorgeous Kin male before. "Have you spent much time on Tarth?"

Izzorah peeked up at him. A thick fringe of black velvet lashes framed those bewitching green eyes. "I live here when I'm not touring. In the Kelthian District, with my cousin." Izzorah nodded toward his cousin. "His big brother."

"Wonderful. It must be good to be near you."

Izzorah blinked. "Sir?"

His thoughts tangled up under the impact of Izzorah's gaze. "I mean, it must be nice to be your family. I mean—near your family."

Izzorah broke into a full smile.

Luc was lost, content to stare and enjoy the Kin beauty's charm. His appeal went far deeper than the surface. The peace in those green eyes offered rest. Izzorah smiled back, neither of them speaking.

His assistant's voice yanked him back to the moment. She introduced the other band members. Gazing at the lead singer, a human, was pure enjoyment.

Izzorah's effect lay on a far grander scale. He drew Luc with some intangible attraction he had no words to describe. The feeling he'd had upon waking that this would be a good day came back to him. Then, he hadn't known why.

Now, he had not one smidgen of doubt.

Every lifetime, Luc breaks the rule: Never fall in love with a mortal.

But when the immortal Luc meets Izzorah, he experiences peace like he's never known...peace that lingers far beyond their brief encounter. After Izzorah's injury and the failure of synthetic cures to match his rare alien blood, Luc saves him, risking disclosure of a secret identity.

Exposing immortal blood to the mortal world could awaken an ancient threat that has hunted Luc's kind for millennia. Immortal blood not only heals mortals; it resurrects their dead. But will Izzorah want him once he discovers the man behind the mask?

To survive among humans, Izzorah conceals both his near-blindness and his uncommon gift, the power to read emotions. Luc's loneliness and desperate yearning for love break Izzorah's heart. How can he not risk showing his true self to the man who saved him? But will Luc embrace the truth behind Izzorah's mask?

In a universe where love and survival collide, their bond could transcend time itself. But first, they must confront the truths that threaten to tear them apart…

A first time gay sci fi romance happy ever after (workplace, forced proximity, forbidden love, age gap).

See trigger warnings at the top of my website menu. Be aware: I don't tell you a character fears heights; I craft my words so you feel their turmoil deep within.

In a universe teetering on the brink of annihilation, Tornahdo's leap into the Ghost Corps promises glory, immortality, and the chance to save humanity. But the catch? To become a ghost, he must die. Now stationed at the isolated space station Enderium Six, he faces his most perilous mission: take down Pietas, king of the the immortal Ultras, whose bloodline has fueled centuries of war.

Bringer of Chaos, futuristic military sci-fi #SciFi #MilSF #SpaceOperaWith Tornahdo's squad dispatched and the station evacuated, all hope hinges on an impossible victory against a speedster who defies death itself. As the countdown to Mission: Lights Out begins, Tornahdo must face unseen, unknowable threats and dare to rewrite fate itself.

Meet the Priest

The Priest serves as a devastating tool of death.

In the dystopian world of Lights Out, the Priest stands as a dark testament to humanity's twisted quest for purity. This spectral weapon, revered among the ranks of the Ghost Corps, gets its name from the grim finality it delivers—victims often find themselves in dire need of last rites.

The Priest's long nozzle unleashes rapid pulses of haptofuel, blistering skin on contact, while its attachable canister allows for the addition of lethal chemicals. If victims attempt to remove the residue with water, the substance combusts.

Ghosts call it Holy Water, a mocking nod to its capacity for burning heretics—anyone who dares to assault the rights of the what the Ultras call lesser beings—humans.

The Omega

In the depths of interstellar conflicts where every second matters, having the perfect weapon can mean the difference between victory and annihilation. The Omega, a shoulder-carried launcher, delivers optimal balance between compact design and destructive force, allowing rapid mobility while maintaining powerful versatility. Equipped to launch two distinct payloads, its blunt, rounded-nose “lob and explode” grenade ensures rapid effectiveness in short-range encounters, while its incendiary rocket provides precision damage from afar.

Technical

The Omega’s initial explosive flash temporarily blinds adversaries, driving foes from shelter and into vulnerable positions. Its modular chemical warheads offer unmatched adaptability, suitable for diverse tactical scenarios—be they suppressive strikes or targeted penetration assaults.

Battle-hardened veterans respect and fear its capabilities. The name Omega emerges as whispered reverence among troops who depend on its reliability to overcome overwhelming odds. Combining extraordinary portability, tactical adaptability, and firepower, this launcher has become essential equipment across the galaxy's most demanding battlefields.

Noted for

Ghosts call it the Omega because it's the last weapon they need.
