Samantha’s life has always been mind numbingly boring, with a half-brother that can’t hold down a job to save his life, a mom who’s declared war on a fellow homeschooling mom that’s snubbed her, and a dad who just wants to be left out of the drama.
When her thirteenth-birthday-wish is for something exciting to happen, she never expected it to come true.
What starts out as an average day hanging out with her best friend takes a turn when a mysterious stranger grabs her and gives her a cryptic message.
She doesn’t give it another thought, until she sees the mystery man on the news, murdered less than a block from where she’d seen him.
Sammy never expected her life to turn into some sort of spy movie.
Yet, whether she likes it or not, her life has just been turned upside down, and things may never be the same again.

Special release: Complete of the Stars hardback collection
Terra has been at war with the Novans for many years now, and no one ever expected the outcome of the war could come to rest on the shoulders of two teenage boys who couldn’t be more different if they tried.
Max O’Brian has waited a long time to be a part of the Alliance, to go to the Mind and Matter Academy, and finally join the fight, just like his brother once did before he died.
But when the fight comes to Max far quicker than he expected, he soon finds himself thrust together with a stubborn-willed cadet that might try him more than anything else ever could.
For as long as he can remember, Aidan Turner’s life has been nothing much more than tinkering away in his lab, helping the Alliance prepare for the next attack from the Novans, and the one after that, and the one after that.
But when a fresh-faced cadet decides to try and befriend him, Aidan finds his life thrown into a tailspin as he fights to keep his own defenses up that not even the strongest of the Novans’ starships could bombard.
From a mundane case of bullying to fighting an interstellar battle, Aidan and Max’s bond of friendship slowly grows to that of brothers, and that bond might be exactly what they need to bring the Novans down.

Haven (Guardian Book 4) Preorder 09/01/2025

Larkon never expected to be accepted back into any Haven, least of all the Great Haven, and the last safe place for his kind. But that’s exactly where he finds himself waking up, with no clue what has transpired or who is waiting for him, or the secrets that are about to come to light.
With the threat of war looming, Sa’shā Ta’ashanē finds his honor calling him to stay where he is, but his duty calls him back to his people. Torn between the two, he might find his choice dividing his very soul.
A simple life was not for everyone to have, and destiny is not something you can escape. War makes enemies of friends, and brothers of foes, but it’s the survivors that have to pick up the pieces.

Star Academy (Starbearer Book 2) Coming July 4th 2025

It’s been six months since the debacle that was the Super-Con, and Ashton is still trying to navigate his new reality as Commander Ace’s sidekick-hopeful, and yes, that’s actually what they’re calling him. Because, apparently, becoming a sidekick wasn’t as easy as just accepting an offer.
Ashton always thought he could handle anything the Starbearer community threw at him. He never factored in trying to be accepted by them.
With graduating Star Academy a requirement, Ashton finds himself pulled from Olsen high, where everyone’s older than him, and transferred to a school full of Starkids, all of them older than him. He’s not the only one not thrilled about that fact.
Superpowers and high school drama shouldn’t be mixed. The combination might just be catastrophic.

Gregory loves his family dearly, but with every loss he suffers, and every mission he takes, he’s reminded how very different he is from them. While his siblings struggle with homework and house chores, Gregory struggles with the choices he makes every day.
Not yet a legal adult, Gregory has seen and done things he can never tell his family, and a part of him feels like the Gregory that does those things is different from the Gregory that his family knows, and those that know both parts of him don’t stick around for long.
With things tough at home, Gregory finds himself glad to take whatever assignment Uncle Sam might have for him.
His latest mission requires infiltrating Camp Peary, where he slowly makes contacts inside the CIA, and learns that he’s not the only one who has to live a double life away from their families.
Maybe the agent that pulls the trigger isn’t all that different from the brother that cheats at Monopoly.

With Agent Sheldon’s fate still uncertain, Lever’s once again reminded that life doesn’t give out breaks, nor does it ever seem to give him a chance to catch his breath as he’s thrust back into the world that has always been home to him.
Trojan Horse may have caused the corruption inside the government to rise to the surface, and the Witch Hunts may have uprooted some of it, but there is a deeper darkness that still lurks beneath the surface. A darkness that’s been there longer than anyone’s realized, and goes far beyond the American border.
Attachments were a weakness a Deadlock could never afford to have, and Lever never expected to care about someone more than the mission, but that attachment might be the only thing keeping him afloat.
There are forces at work that aren’t quite ready to let Lever go as he finds himself in a fight for his very soul. No one said the road to redemption was easy, and Lever finds himself tested in ways he never dreamed.
