Sci-Fi Novels
Co-written with Rick Goldman
Layla’s Story: Whatever It Takes plunges readers into the dangerous double life of Layla Jones—a brilliant, beautiful, and deadly young woman trained from childhood to serve a hidden mission. Her mantra, “whatever it takes,” drives her through a brutal upbringing of espionage, seduction, and survival tests that leave no room for love or doubt.
As she enters the elite ranks of Air Force Special Operations, Layla must balance loyalty to her father’s military legacy with the shadowy influence of her mother’s secrets. Every move pulls her deeper into a world of covert missions, alien recoveries, and global conspiracies—where betrayal is as common as breathing, and survival depends on knowing which side you’re really on.
Fast-paced, gripping, and laced with intrigue, Rick Goldman and Karen Puntch deliver a thriller that blurs the line between family legacy, government secrecy, and the relentless pursuit of power. Layla’s story is one of resilience, seduction, and sacrifice—because in her world, the only rule is to do whatever it takes.
The Green takes readers deep into a thrilling collision of science, secrecy, and survival. Dr. William “Arn” Arnold carries the scars of childhood abduction and a lifetime of hidden knowledge. When his past collides with the present—through a mysterious extraterrestrial artifact, a serum that can reverse aging, and an alien known only as Emerald—he finds himself at the center of a struggle that could alter humanity’s future.
Alongside retired General Haywood Kirk, haunted by betrayal and addiction, and a circle of unlikely allies, Arn must navigate conspiracies within the highest levels of government, encounters with the Greys, and a world on the brink of ecological collapse. From covert missions to Area 51 to dolphin-led protests in warming seas, every revelation unravels another layer of a staggering truth: humanity’s fate may depend on keeping a promise to help an alien go home.
Blending cutting-edge science fiction with political intrigue and heart-pounding action, Rick Goldman and Karen Puntch deliver an unforgettable story of resilience, redemption, and the urgent question of whether we can save our planet—before it’s too late.
