THE WHITE LILAC
Re-Released September 2022!
The jigger toxin is back on Beta Earth. Everyone is poisoned and will die without the cure.
Winning the White Lilac competition to see who will sacrifice themselves to gather the cure is all Caryn Tobin, 15, has been working toward. Not only is it her duty, but it is also penance for her part in the loss of a fellow competitor.
But when she wins, she is given an all-expense paid visit to Highton City and unwittingly becomes part of a political power struggle between the Compound and the Mayor of Highton.
Then she meets Kai, a homeless teen with ambitions of his own. Caught between a strict justice system and a gang boss’ schemes, Kai has to decide how badly he wants answers about his missing mother. The secrets of his past hold more than he can imagine.
Together Caryn and Kai have to navigate through politics, lies, and the past if they are to save the people of Beta Earth.
THE JUST MAN
Released May 2023!
Like his father, Sean Dikaios is going to the Justice Consortium, the school that makes heroes out of every graduate they have. But becoming the kind of person who will be a hero is hard work, and Sean's not sure he has what it takes to be a hero. He's shorter and weaker than all his classmates, and it feels like he fails at everything.

Yet Sean might not get the chance to find out if he can become a hero as more is brewing under the surface. Soon events are going to prove whether he has what it takes to be a hero no matter the consequences.
​
In a retelling of the story of the just man in Plato's Republic, this story goes into the concept of justice and heroism and the consequences of character.
