The Other

August 19, 2021 By

It started as a typical day in a sleepy little coastal village. But little did they know everything was about to change forever.

Corporal Joe Mills of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police arrives at Gallou Cove, certain the reported ‘sea monster’ washed ashore would be nothing. What he found there on the beach chilled him to the core.

Dr. Adele Kramer, a marine biologist, shows up to categorize the find. The creature defies any known life found on Earth. At least, nothing originating on the planet.

So begins their introduction to ‘The Other’, the secret world of cosmic horrors plaguing humanity since before the dawn of time. They soon find themselves drawn into a plot many millennia-old to prevent the end of all existence in the universe. Can they survive the Crawling Chaos and prevent He Who Lies Dreaming from awakening?

This book is the first in a trilogy, containing six of eighteen linked novelettes and novellas meant to be read in order and set in H. P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos. $0.99 on Kindle.

Unexpected Contact

August 17, 2021 By

Even the best laid plans of mechs and men can go astray…

As a mercenary during The Mechanai War, there was no shortage of work, but Sigrid had rules. That she ignored her rules as often as followed them wasn’t something that bothered her. A last-minute job protecting attaché mech, TH3R, and his companion, junior officer, Tala Matapang was a tempting payday. Their mission: detect and capture a SPDR mech alive.

The Imperium’s infiltration and assassination mechs were difficult to find. They were even harder to capture intact. Trying to find one in an urban metropolis was next to impossible. Tala and TH3R will need to use all the lessons they’d learned since their first encounters with the malicious mechs to avoid going from hunter to hunted.

Can a mercenary, attaché mech, and newly promoted officer track and capture their elusive and deadly adversary?

Unexpected Contact is the follow-up story to Duel of Destiny (A Mechhaven Novella) and prequel to Pax Machina (Mechhaven Book 1) $0.99 on Kindle.

The Epimetheus Trial

August 16, 2021 By

Long extinct and forgotten, an alternate line of hominids reemerges in four children across the continent of Ouristihra. Thus fulfills a little known prophecy. These Hybrids are born with a single mutation and an elemental power that manifests in adolescence.

Few people understand their nature, and unfortunately, far fewer understand it better than The Avatars of Fate. Wielding technology far outstripping even the most advanced communities, this shadowy organization seizes control of the militaristic nation of ArcNos with twofold focus. Dominate the rest of Ouristihra. And eliminate the Hybrids. All while preaching the doctrine of The Epimetheus Trial.

Armed with antique weapons and a tenacity to preserve their kind, the Hybrids forge alliances across social classes as they come together to repel The Avatars and restore order to ArcNos. But The Avatars have their hands in far more affairs than a simple war machine.

Their knowledge of the Hybrids has enabled them to track their coming births for generations. Family trees have been severed whole with the intention of preventing Hybrid births entirely. Or perhaps to pigeonhole them into families of The Avatars’ choosing.

Sketchy laboratories and an elusive prisoner speak to biological origins to The Avatars’ artificial power enhancements. As well as to the possibility of an unanticipated fifth Hybrid. Although, this prisoner isn’t necessarily the anomaly.

The machinations and manipulations of The Avatars of Fate are only matched by The Coalition, a counter-terrorist group founded to undermine them. Though The Coalition allies with the Hybrids, they keep them at a distance, only divulging knowledge of their place in this long conflict as they see fit.

What fate The Avatars represent, neither will say. Only that it all must come to pass for the arising. $0.99 to $2.99 each on Kindle.

Isles of Ciphar

August 9, 2021 By

In his dimension, Earth had evolved differently. Hundreds of millions of years ago, a meteor with unique properties smashed into his version of the little planet positioned between Venus and Mars, changing how the world’s lifeforms and even continents developed. An inhabitant of our world would never recognize his as the same planet by looking at a map of it, and would be especially skeptical if they were to gaze upon some of the inhuman races who dwelled there.

This is the story of Rov, King of Ciphar. To find the man who attacked his kingdom and escaped with a princess, Rov embarked on a journey across his world with the help of a blood fairy, a catwoman, and others until he uncovered the truth about what happened that day. A truth that would lead him to our own world—to my Hawaiian home, where I would learn his story and do anything possible to help him. $0.99 on Kindle.
