A Pause in Space-Time, Book 1 
Kaem Seba is a sickly and financially destitute young man with extraordinary math skills. With the help of Arya Vaii, a business student, he has developed a theory and an electronic device that allows him to stop time within limited volumes of space-time. 
It quickly becomes obvious that, beyond the fact that time stops inside the stasis field, the volume of space-time in stasis might be useful for some of its other phenomenal properties. Unfortunately, the owner of the lab that tested the properties of their samples also recognizes their potential. His desire to share in their profits unhinges his shaky grasp on reality….
The Thunder of Engines, Book 2 
Kaem and Arya are trying to sell “stade”, a piece of space-time in stasis, for its phenomenal mechanical properties. 
Stronger than any known substance, it cannot not melt, burn, bend or break. It’s also a perfect insulator and reflects all radiation. Essentially, it can’t be altered; time is stopped within it. Kaem and Arya are struggling to negotiate the best prices they can while simultaneously fighting another company’s bid to pre-empt their patent. As if those struggles weren’t sufficient, Kaem’s beloved father develops cancer. He must try to help his family through that crisis while simultaneously attempting to save the company.

Laury Dahners lives in Chapel Hill, North Carolina and enjoys writing science fiction, composing/recording music and painting. His stories have a positive outlook on scientific progress, looking on it as something that makes the world better rather than resulting in various dystopias. Generally, they start with a "what if" question, for instance in the case of the Stasis Stories, what if someone invented a way to pause time within a given volume of space-time. Sure, this kind of stasis would let you travel forward in time, sure, but a lot of other interesting things would change as well.
