I'm much better at writing rather than summarizing. Most of these are novellas or short stories except for the two TAS entries and Dual Purpose. I am only done with the Blindfold, but I plan on expanding it anyways and I still haven't published it anywhere on the internet.
Dual Purpose-A programmer named Will survives nuclear war and the following Winter as a caretaker of a group of Humans in stasis. His only company is a prototype AI.
The Blindfold-Stan has been trapped in another dimension all alone for seemingly forever. He barely remembers his life from before. All he knows is the cruel infinity of unknown space and a giant ribbon-world that stretches on forever to which he is gravitationally bound. He begins seeing a woman in his dreams and gradually learns more about the secret of the world he inhabits and why he doesn't remember anything. The story is named after his only possession besides his tattered robes: a blindfold with a pair of ornate eyes dyed into the fabric. It draws a lot from David Lynch, PKD, and Darren Aronofsky.
Share It With Me: Humankind has spread the influence of its xenophobic Sapiant Coalition all over the Orion Arm, forcefully annexing every civilization they encounter. Recently, they have been warring with the Yourdzhen civilization. A major figure in the Yourdzhen war effort is captured and Isabel, a highly qualified Telepath is tasked with dissecting his mind. She finds out that he too is telepathic and finds that the Yourdzhen are not so different from Humans. He plants seeds of desent in her mind.
The Architects Saga- A Sci-fi epic series taking place over Billions of years. Most of my other work is philosophical in nature, but this serves primarily the purpose of painting a picture of Universal history from the Big Bang to the Supposed Big Rip. It deals with the mystery surrounding a group of Pre-Universal Benefactors called the Architects whose sole duty is to be the ever gentle guiding hand to the peoples of the Universe. Multiple protagonists discover bits and pieces of their agenda in detail and their origins.
TAS 1: The Shape of Things To Come: In 2077, an asteroid slams into Central China, killing 5 billion people and sending most of the Earth back into the Stone Age. The survivors quickly find their world slowly changing. Creatures are evolving much faster than normal. Jungles of large trees and fungi begin to grow over the ruins of civilization. And yet, Humanity manages to survive and preserve as much as possible, in the hopes that they can some day resume from where they left off. They are joined eventually by the Feron(sapiant and sentient descendants of wolves) and the rather alien Skernii(sentient and somewhat sapiant descendants of a species of Monitor Lizard). The story takes place in 3036 and follows Professor Patrick Herbert, a biologist and teacher from the rebuilt Washington DC as he undergoes an expedition into the heart of America on the insistance of vivid dreams.
TAS 2:Transient: Taking place 200 years after the first book, Transient tells the tale of a younf Archaeologist who becomes obsessed with the Architects after finding a Pre-Universal object on a far-flung tomb world. He begins dreaming of great catastrophes from years gone past and of an ancient Space Station orbiting an unknown Quark Star that probably holds the secrets to everything. Growing increasingly detached from reality, he embarks on a ten year wild goose chase to pinpoint the location of the Space Station.
Blood Choked Gutters- a cyberpunk/biopunk/dystopian novella. Jheron Shaw is a hitman for the Fang Brotherhood in the underworld of a heavily developed and polluted Earth. He's given up with being moral, as he believes everything is going downhill fast. The rich live in orbit or on the moon or Mars. The poor work for the rich, developing new tech for them to utilize. Jheron isn't Human. He hasn't been Human for a while. His Genetic makeup is partially restructured and contains genes from all sorts of different predatorial creatures like all member of the syndicate he works for. He appears to be a big cat at one angle, a bear at another, and a wolf at yet another. Unexpected events force him to turn against the syndicate.
Untitled-An allegorical story about a world in which Dragons control everything and keep Humans as slaves. Originally solitary creatures, they have formed a loose Republic for the sole purpose of keeping order and keeping Humans in check. Meera is one such slave. However, as opposed to most, her master is kind to her. A politician with a family, her master treats her more like his child than his own children and employs her as his scribe and aide within the forum. But when a young dragon walks into the senate and proposes that both species live side by side as equals, she becomes obsessed with freedom. It is half-finished.

The first one is incredibly dark and creepy.
