LOST COMMAND

Release Dec. 26, 2025

Lost and alone.

Stranded in a galaxy far from home, with no way to call for help, engineering officer Cassi Requin and her crew of survivors are pursued by a hostile spacecraft. As food and supplies run low, they make a desperate decision to descend to the surface of an unforgiving planet to extract the raw materials they need for repair and replenishment.

But lurking in the shadows lies a relentless enemy Cassi has confronted before—a hive mind sentience that’s out for blood.

As conditions on the surface diminish, an allegiance on her spacecraft crumbles, forcing her to fight on a new front.

Book III in the Alliance Expeditionary Fleet Universe is coming soon.

FRACTURED COMMAND

Release Feb. 17, 2023

Spacecraft engineers have one job… make it fly.

When a mysterious spacecraft with alien technology attacks an armored freighter and takes her best friend prisoner, junior engineer Cassiopeia Requin will stop at nothing to get her back.

Reassigned to a state-of-the-art deep space cruiser, Cassi and her crew jump on a chance that might be their only opportunity to capture the alien spacecraft. But when they end up transiting into the accretion disk around a black hole, their cruiser is catastrophically damaged, and their chain of command is fractured.

Predators become prey as alien drones close in and cut through the remains of their hull in a desperate fight for working technology. Cassi must improvise, adapt, and use every engineering skill she’s learned to hold both her spacecraft and her team together as they spiral toward the event horizon and make a desperate attempt to escape the crushing gravity of a black hole.

Fractured Command is a stand alone novel set the Cassi Requin Universe.

FIRST COMMAND

Released June 6, 2021

More than anything astronaut cadet Cassi Requin wants to earn a position in the Alliance Expeditionary Fleet. And she’s almost made it.

But during an interstellar training flight Cassi investigates a distress call, directly disobeying the orders of her instructors. In doing so she leads her crew into a pirate trap, a battle, and a disaster of a crash on the surface of an alien world.

With the only qualified astronauts on board locked in survival stasis, Cassi is promoted into her first command—rank, authority, and responsibility.

Food and water are in short supply. Their spacecraft hull is compromised. Rescue is light years away.

With bloodthirsty pirates in pursuit, Cassi must lead her crew across hostile ground seething with predators to seek the safety of a remote survey outpost that might be their only chance to return home.

“This book delivers. There is tension that never lets up and the concept that danger lurks around every corner- keeps you turning the page. These kids are alone on a hostile planet searching for safety from pirates – both determined to destroy them. There is no reprieve as help is far off. Cassi must use her wits and her team to outsmart and out think her opponents or die trying.”
