Border Breakers: Kids of the Line

The truth is out there. But crossing the Line means risking everything.

The Phoenix Line was built to keep people out. Or so they say. A thousand miles of electrified steel, patrolled by automated drones, surveillance towers, and deadly force—the Line divides the fractured remains of North America. On one side, the Northern Federation, a utopia built on clean energy, AI governance, and absolute control. On the other, the United American States, a starving wasteland clinging to the past. In between? A generation caught in the crossfire.

Tina Regalado has spent her life working under the hum of the Phoenix Line, believing its promise of safety and order. But when she hesitates to pull the trigger on a desperate border-runner, she starts to see the cracks in the Federation’s perfect system.

On the other side of the fence, Ryan Whitecloud isn’t just watching—he’s planning. The drones, the patrol routes, the gaps in the grid—if there’s a way out of the UAS, he’s going to find it. And when he crosses paths with Dru, a rogue hacker who’s uncovered a century-old secret buried beneath the Line, everything changes.

Because the Line isn’t just a border—it’s a lie.

As the Line’s AI defenses close in and the Federation prepares to seal its borders forever, Tina, Ryan, and their unlikely allies must make an impossible choice: escape while they still can…or break the Line for good.

Perfect for fans of Marie Lu’s Legend, Veronica Roth’s Divergent, and Pierce Brown’s Red Rising, Border Breakers is a pulse-pounding sci-fi thriller where technology, power, and rebellion collide.

"This contemplative tale of survival is a unique and poetic excursion." ~Kirkus Reviews

Immortal North

A father raises his boy in the isolated north. But for those lands and minds with an unsettled past, other dangers may lurk the woods where father and son hunt the timber.

He’s known as the trapper. His family has a long history in these remote woods. Now it’s just him and the boy, and he’ll raise him in the world he knows...the forest, where threats take recognizable forms: harsh weather, peak predators, the encroachment of civilization at odds with their lifestyle.

A tale told in captivating prose of wild living, where human skin is no boundary for either the beauty or cruelty of nature. After the arrival of a foreign presence, the forest in all its naked majesty becomes an arena for the dueling forces of life: joy and suffering, good and evil, compassion and vengeance. One fateful day their woodland life is violently broken—shouldn’t those guilty of such injustice be held to account? Though the forest is isolated, this may be a story of the wilderness existing within us all.
