It is separate from the main series and can be enjoyed at any time.

Even When You CHANGE, Some Things Remain the Same . . .Erin Radkey's life has altered completely since her Change made her one of the Unbounded. Yet she has learned the hard way that some things never change.Greed.

Now the Renegades are close to discovering a cure that will save many dying mortals, and the husband of Erin's closest friend is first in line to receive the formula. But Emporium agents will stop at nothing to destroy the cure until they realize the research might be exactly the weapon they've been searching for.Love. Erin's new abilities are tested as she and fellow Renegades fight the Emporium in a struggle that soon becomes all too personal, and where lines of loyalty are blurred by relationships of the past.

Love and Duty Both Can Get You KilledPilot Chris Radkey's only job in the Mexican jungle is to look after the plane while his Unbounded siblings retrieve a desperately needed cure.

His "easy" job has become a nightmare, one he may not survive. But the woman he cares about needs him, and he won't allow anything to stand in his way.Please note: Mortal Brother is a novella, not a full-length novel. It is separate from the main series and can be enjoyed at any time. However, the events take place in the Unbounded timeline simultaneously with The Cure (Unbounded Book 2) and extend several days past that novel, so readers may better appreciate Mortal Brother after reading The Cure.

This time the job is personal . . .Tie-in to the series that shows where Ritter was those two missing months after The Change.In and out. Do the job. Renegade Blaze Vincent has survived years with this motto. Barely. Plucked from death's door and revived repeatedly with curequick, he's developed an addiction that threatens to destroy everything he's worked for.Now the Emporium is buying fields around a tiny Portuguese town, and mortals Blaze's countrymen are dying. Blaze and his partner, Kenna Murray, are determined to unravel their enemies' intentions before the entire town is lost.But things tend to explode when Blaze is around. Literally. And to save his people, he must be willing to take yet one more step over the edge.Please Note: Set Ablaze is not as long as the books from Erin's viewpoint.

A Normal Life was Never Their DestinyProtectors is a compilation of three novellas telling the personal stories of characters in the Unbounded series.

The Avowed9.The Unsworn Teyla Branton grew up avidly reading science fiction and fantasy and watching Star Trek reruns with her large family. They lived on a little farm where she loved to visit the solitary cow and collect (and juggle) the eggs, usually making it back to the house with most of them intact. On that same farm she once owned thirty-three gerbils and eighteen cats, not a good mix, as it turns out. Teyla always had her nose in a book and daydreamed about someday creating her own worlds. She is now married, mostly grown up, and has seven kids, including a two-year-old, so life at her house can be very interesting (and loud), but writing keeps her sane. She thrives on the energy, inspiration, and daily amusement offered by her children. Grabbing any snatch of free time from her hectic life, Teyla writes novels, often with a child on her lap. She loves guns, martial arts, and belly dancing. Teyla writes urban fantasy, paranormal romance, and science fiction. She also writes romance and romantic suspense under the name Rachel Branton.
