Between the Stars [speculative fiction, sci-fi, YA]: Over fifteen years ago, Earth and Minph become each other’s first alien contact. What follows is a brief and promising friendship, and the birth of five half Earthling, half Minphling hybrids. But not all are pleased with the budding companionship, and tragedy leaves one planet covering up the truth, and another with a devastating civil war. The children are hidden away, even from themselves. Years later, an abduction brings the truth to light and forces the hybrids to confront an identity they never knew they had. Together, they embark on a journey to learn who they are, where they come from, and how to make it home. They’ll dodge politics and terrorists, make friends and enemies, and define their own place in the universe against all the odds.

He is the sole lightcaster and Avian among nightcasting Canids, and the first to live among them in over 300 years. But it wasn’t always this way, and if Avian and Canids are to survive the expanding Fracture, the old order may have to be restored...even if doing so creates something entirely new.

Shared Dreams [probably fantasy]: A group of people spend their nights living a completely separate life in an entirely alternate reality, where their “real” life is as fleeting as a dream. They’ve always been suspicious about the consistency and vividness of the dream, but brush it off as, well, just a dream. Until they meet each other in the real world. And suddenly, the dream becomes harder and harder to wake up from.
