NOVELS
Sunrise Over Shippo
Salvage Bunny Book 1
All Kailey Jackson ever wanted to do was study the lost civilization of the Asur in peace. When she proposed an archaeological investigation into the ruins on Shippo, home of the fox-like Kitsoonay who raised her, she had no idea the infamous Badar Syndicate was funding the dig, or that they would use it as a cover to invade her world. Now, Shippo is under attack, and Kailey and her Kitsoonay sister Jinx barely escaped the Syndicate with the help of the Lancers mercenary unit. The Lancers are going to take their planet back, but they can’t go in blind. Kailey, feeling responsible for the attack, volunteers to lead the scout mission back to Shippo. The Syndicate is expecting her return, after all, one way or another. So what if it puts her life in danger? So what if she isn’t a fighter? Kailey is willing to do whatever it takes to fix what she broke, even if it means putting herself back in the hands of the very organization killing her people. Because sometimes…sometimes you have to fight to protect what you love.
Knightfall Under Keros
Salvage Bunny Book 2
Kailey Jackson never expected to add mercenary to her resume. She’s an Asur specialist and a language geek, not a battle-hardened fighter, but when her new mercenary friends offered her a position with the Knights, she accepted. And, although she’s not an elite merc, she’s determined to get better—not to prove anyone wrong, but to prove to herself that she belongs. Especially on the days where she doubts herself the most.
Unfortunately, Andre Lykaios hasn’t forgotten about his defeat on Shippo. Worse, unlike some of the mercenaries in the Lancers, he knows exactly how valuable a resource Kailey can be. When an opportunity arises for him to take his revenge, he strikes without hesitation. Now, the Knights are at his mercy, and Kailey is left with no choice but to help him break into an Asur outpost.
The vault door might have the most complex rune structure she’s ever seen, but she’s not about to quit. Not when her friends will be the ones to pay the price for her failure. She has no choice but to outsmart the Asur and succeed… and hopefully thwart the Syndicate’s plans in the process. But can Kailey decipher the runes fast enough, or has she finally run into a riddle she can’t solve?
Fallout On Darsaana
Salvage Bunny Book 3
Kailey Jackson has a lot on her plate. Asur specialist, language geek, mercenary, and—most recently—bonded commander of the last Warbird in existence.
The Asur created some of the most elite ships the galaxy has ever known, though, and everyone wants to steal it. And when—after multiple attempts—it finally is stolen, the impact is immediate to both Kailey’s mental wellbeing and the Knights’ hard-won reputation.
With enemies without and within, recovering the Warbird will be no easy task. The Knights will need to lean on the Lancers and their new friends in the Salvage System to track the thieves across the galaxy. But finding the Warbird is only the first step—and not even the hardest. Something is very wrong with Kailey’s bond with her ship, and Darsaana, the old homeworld of the vanished Asur, might just hold the key to her salvation.
Kailey would burn the galaxy down if that’s what it took to save her friends, but she has no idea how far she’d go to save herself. Nor can she foresee the irrevocable consequences… for her and for the Knights.

Hunters & Hijinks
Salvage Treasure Book 1
Have you ever wanted to quit your soul-sucking hell of a day job, tell your supervisors exactly what you think of them, set the office on fire, jump in your slightly used spaceship and scour the galaxy for lost treasures? Of course, you have. And Reggie, Maddy, Ed, and Harold are no different.
Joongee aren’t supposed to like adventure. Quite the opposite, in fact. They’re supposed to like safe, quiet office jobs, become engineers, programmers, or whatever keeps them away from a battlefield or anything remotely dangerous. But after one disappointment too many, Reggie decides that maybe, just maybe, there’s something to Harold’s crazy obsession with the mystery of the Lost Weapons of Koroth. There must be more to life than dying by slow inches in a cubicle. Right? He knows he’s got to do something soon, because if he doesn’t get his small clan away from Galactic Solutions, Maddy really will set the office on fire.
But the galaxy is a dangerous, unforgiving place. It’s full of pirates, overly enthusiastic and sparkly Ahkal-Tiki, and savvy business Krugeri whose minds are as sharp as their claws. It takes cunning, heart, and a whole lot of luck to survive.
Can our office workers-turned-adventurers navigate the treacherous galactic currents, follow the clues, and discover the treasure? Or will they find themselves begging to return to the old 9-to-5?
One thing is certain—there are bound to be hijinks along the way.
"A rollicking good time. Steverson and Olthoff have delivered a comedy adventure series as funny as it is fast-paced."

Pirates & Payback
Salvage Treasure Book 2
Everyone has dreamed about becoming a pirate, from the swashbuckling sea dogs of old to the space-age pirate captain weaving his way through an asteroid field to avoid pursuit. Oftentimes, they’re looking for payback on someone who has horribly wronged them. That’s what Reggie, Maddy, Ed, and Harold have on their minds. Our favorite Joongee are back, and they’re determined to settle a few scores.
But it’s a little difficult when you don’t have enough credit for the gate fee, and you’re on the run due to some minor assault charges and a teeny tiny office fire. Fortunately, Reggie knows just the low-down scallywag who can help them out of their predicament. So long as Reggie doesn’t punch him in the face first, too.
Nothing in this galaxy is free, though. The pirates want a little help in return, and Reggie will have to become the very thing he hates the most in order to succeed. Can Reggie, Maddy, Harold, and Ed reclaim what’s rightfully theirs, or are they simply out of luck? One thing is certain, though: there will be payback.
Privateers & Pandemonium
Salvage Treasure Book 3
Have you ever wanted to hunt down the galaxy’s worst pirates? To stand up for what’s right and honorable?
Reggie and his small clan didn’t set out to be privateers. They set out to find the lost pirate ship of Captain Pordobel. When they hit a dead-end in their hunt, though, they contacted their old pirate buddies for help. After all, Pordobel was not only the galaxy’s most fearsome pirate, he was also the galaxy’s richest pirate. If the group can find his lost flagship, there will be more than enough treasure to go around.
But not everything goes according to plan.
If any pirate ever matched Pordobel’s bloodthirsty atrocities, it would be Captain Parson and his Predators. And they’re expanding their reach.
Armed with a writ from Emperor Dahkal, the clan sets out to put a stop Parson once and for all. But Parson is no ordinary pirate. He’s the head of the pirate council and commands an entire armada.
Will they stop Parson and end his rampage? Will they ever find the lost pirate ship of Captain Pordobel? Will Maddy ever get her umbrellas?
One thing is certain—there will be pandemonium.

SHORT STORIES
SHADOWS BEFORE SUNRISE
Salvage Bunny prequel story
Solve the riddle. Find the treasure. Save their home.
Such a simple plan. What could possibly go wrong?
When Kailey Jackson found the coordinates to an undiscovered Asur outpost, she never thought things would get quite so… complicated. Or dangerous.
Before their disappearance, the enigmatic Asur scattered outposts across the galaxy. Outposts stocked with advanced weapons, mechs, and more credit than most beings see in their lifetime. They left clues behind, riddles wrapped in songs, that few are able to understand, let alone solve.
But Kailey specializes in the Asur. She knows how they think, knows how to translate their runes. With her Kitsoonay sister Jinx at her side, she thought they could handle any competition—until the Badar Syndicate gets involved. A chance meeting with the Lancers mercenary company might just be the help they so desperately need.
Can they solve the riddle in time to secure the treasure? Or will the Badar Syndicate find them first?
No matter how dangerous things get, Kailey refuses to quit. Not when failure could mean losing everything. . . and everyone.
