Into The Shadowland

Into The Shadowland
Hidden in the forgotten corners of the world, our ancestors—the Neanderthals—lie silent. Clever beings, gifted hunters, lost to history’s pages . . . until now.

Lilly Feron never expected her quiet life running a wolf park in Utah to be upended by a single, dead animal. But when a wolf believed to be extinct with a spear tip lodged in its neck turns up on a highway, everything changes.

The weapon, made from Neanderthal bone only a few decades old, should be impossible. After all, these hominids vanished thirty-five thousand years ago.

She learns of a trapper who claims to have seen such a strange wolf, hidden deep in the Bitterroot Mountains. Was it the same animal?

Lilly and paleoanthropologist Austin Walker dig deeper, and uncover amazing truths about the existence of the last Neanderthals. Could they still be out there living in a shadowland?

As the mystery unfolds, they must wrestle with a gripping secret—one that forces them to question everything they thought they knew about history, humanity, and what lives in the wild. All before the authorities put an end to it.

The past isn’t gone. It’s waiting. And it’s about to make its presence known.

“INTO THE SHADOWLAND masterfully blends anthropological science with vivid storytelling, offering a gripping exploration of human resilience, culture, and belief in a forgotten world. With an archaeologist’s precision and a novelist’s imagination, J.M.G. Schmidt reconstructs an ancient way of life that feels startlingly real. Think Neanderthals were just grunting brutes? Think again. This fascinating journey into our deep past will challenge everything you thought you knew about our long-lost cousins.” — Patrick Keeney, Canadian author and journalist $0.99 on Kindle.

Space Vault: The Seed Eclipse (Sci-Fi Galaxy series Book 2)
Space was supposed to be humanity’s salvation. But now, it may become our doom.

When competing forces vie to control human evolution, Teagan Ward is thrust into the heart of the conflict. Once a captive on the Moon, she was subjected to genetic experiments—but the true prize wasn’t her. It was her daughter, Diana, created to survive in deep space and lead a new breed of humanity.

Now the ruthless Consortium wants her back.

As Earth reels from climate collapse and food shortages, powerful forces converge to control ecosystems, genetic patents, and access to survival itself. Their prize: the Seed Vault, a lunar repository containing the last viable genetic codes for Earth’s crops, food supplies—and maybe humanity’s future.

But it’s not just humans who covet the Vault’s valuable contents.

Protests erupt. Alliances fracture. And Teagan, seeking refuge among the Tritans—an endangered alien species—must protect Diana at all costs.

Meanwhile, Professor Olga Polyakov, the scientist who made Diana possible, is under orders to recover the child before rival factions strike. But as conflict brews between ideologies, worlds, and species, one truth becomes clear: the war for tomorrow has already begun. And only one thing might shape the outcome—a mother’s love.

The vault is the code.
The eclipse is the signal.
The child is the key.

In a battle for survival, what remains of humanity may not be who we were—but who we choose to become.

From a dying Earth to the vastness of space, the fight to protect humanity’s future has begun and one question drives them all: how to protect what remains of human freedom.. $0.99 on Kindle.

Trapped in Time: The only hope for the future lies in the past

Trapped in Time: The only hope for the future lies in the past
When an adventurer is trapped in the distant past, the only person who can save him is his own granddaughter. The problem? She hasn’t been born yet.

When John Hamman found the time machine, he didn’t know what adventures it would lead him on, and he could not predict the sequence of events that would strand him in the distant past. Can he shape a future that will one day save him from his own mistakes?

Jenny Hamman was a child when her grandfather showed her the dinosaur tooth he wore on a cord around his neck. That moment set the trajectory of her life. Jenny had no idea of the dangers she would one day face. Only she can save her grandfather. Her existence and that of everyone she loves hangs in the balance.
———————————————————-
Sneak Peak:
Jenny wasn’t sure what woke her, some instinct that death was near. Perhaps it breathed on her. Jenny opened her eyes but only saw darkness. The smell made her freeze. It was a fetid smell of rotten meat, the smell of a lion or hyena that fed on carrion.

She had covered herself with cut ferns, but she could turn her head slightly and look up where she saw patches of the stars through the trees on this moonless night. Then a shape moved above her and blotted out the stars. She heard a huffing sound, and that fetid breath blew down on her like a wind.

She drew her gun and fired up into the shadow looming above her. The flash from the muzzle of the High Power lit up the inside of its mouth like a flashbulb, as she fired the gun down its throat. All she saw was teeth. Jenny screamed, the sound lost as she pulled the trigger over and over, emptying the magazine of the gun as fast as she could. She pulled her arm back as the jaws snapped shut. In the flashes she saw a great head pull back. She kept firing, and then the slide locked back on the empty magazine.

She was engulfed in a darkness more complete than she had ever known, her night vision ruined. That void was filled with a roar. It was more than a sound. It surrounded her and shook her very core. Blindly, she grabbed for the spear that laid beside her as she slept, and crawled away through the ferns that covered the ground. Through the ringing in her ears, she heard a crashing behind her as the great head smashed through the brush where she had been, its jaws closing on her resting place. Jenny made it to her feet and took off running. She might have been safe if it hadn’t been for the tree. She hit it straight on at full speed, and all she remembered was pain.

Laying on her back, she had her spear and the empty gun was still in her hand. She felt it in the ground. It shook beneath her. The dinosaur was coming. $0.99 on Kindle.

Inheritance: Generations

Inheritance: Generations
In a society built on obedience and illusion, three generations of men live, love, and die under the shadow of a system that promises purpose but delivers silence.

John is a loyal citizen, raising his son Thomas with unwavering faith in the nation’s ideals. After his wife’s untimely death, that faith hardens into doctrine. Thomas inherits the same convictions—and the same emptiness. His life is routine, his marriage dissolves, and his death is quiet, witnessed only by his son, Jack.

Jack, too, follows the path laid before him: college, career, conformity. But beneath the surface, something fractures.

Inheritance: Generations is a haunting exploration of how belief, when unexamined, becomes a cage. Through vivid prose and aching intimacy, this novel traces the quiet devastation of lives shaped by propaganda—and the aching question of what might have been. It’s not just a story of fathers and sons. It’s a warning. A mirror. A choice. $0.99 on Kindle.
