Length (print): About 100
Buy Link: Amazon
Kindle $0.99
Blurb:
When alien boy Kalo first arrived on Earth with the rest of his people,
he never imagined a future with anything other than the Universal
Mission. The Mission had carried them through the universe for
millennia, finding and studying intelligent species, always with the end
purpose of enslaving them. But lately, something unfamiliar has taken
root inside Kalo—the desire to break free of the Mission and his leader,
Tal-Reku. And he’s not the only one. He and the other alien rebels must
learn how to be revolutionaries within a society that’s never strayed
from their practices, and under an all-knowing leader who will stop at
nothing to complete the Mission on Earth.
Meanwhile, Earthborn boy Gordon conducts his trades in and out of
Haven so he can pay for extra medicine and food for his sick mother. He
may be only 12 years old, but he knows Haven’s underground better than
most grown-ups. When he gets an unusual opportunity to help a young
couple start a new life outside of Haven, he learns of an underground
resistance—citizens who want the seemingly-benevolent aliens gone.
Intrigued, he can’t resist the pull of the organized rebellion and the
dark-haired girl who’s already part of their ranks.

Genre: Sci-Fi
Blurb:
Sixteen-year-old Helia wants two things in life: to step out of her
over-protective mother's shadow and become an engineer, and to stop
hiding her relationship with alien boy Kalo. But the world definitely
isn't ready for a human-alien romance. And worse, the human-alien
partnership is crumbling. Humans are arrested without explanation. Some
of them are never seen again.
When the alien leader imprisons her mother on a false charge, Helia
discovers the aliens never intended to help humans at all. Now, she must
join forces with alien rebels. If she succeeds, humans have a chance at
survival and she has a chance at love. If she fails, the dwindling
human race dies out in slavery.
When the aliens arrived, they were hailed as the saviors of a dying
Earth and dwindling human race. But the aliens didn't come to help. Now,
one human girl's ingenious invention and one alien boy's awakened heart
are humanity's last hope...

trapped in a transporter on the way to the lunar prison. When she gets
there, she discovers that the rumors Gordon heard were true—there are
alien cannibals on the moon. It’s more horrific and dangerous than
anything she ever imagined. She must survive long enough to figure out
how to escape back to earth, find Kalo and the rebels, and take down
Reku before he enslaves the last surviving humans.
One human girl’s ingenious invention and one alien boy’s awakened heart are humanity’s last hope . . .
