Book 2 of the Aiko Rising saga is now available from Amazon.

Soon Pulverize will haunt the bookshelves and be in reader’s hands.

After months of making final edits and rewriting, adding new scenes and expanding nearly every chapter the final draft has been given to the copy editor.

I hope everyone has a chance to get some much deserved rest over this long holiday weekend. I will have some exciting book announcements happening soon.

I’ve just finished the first draft of Pulverize. Soon, after a round of extensive self-edits I’ll send it in for the first round of edits.

I’m sorry this page has been dormant for so long. This year has brought so many challenges that I’ve barely had enough time to keep up. However, as we enter the summer months, I have several book releases planned. Look for exciting releases from Aiko’s world and a new Interstellar Online main series installment. I’m also working on a new story set in the world of the Cyber Teen Project.

I hope everyone has a peaceful and restful holiday. Relax, enjoy the company of family, take a break from all the world’s craziness, and read a book.

In the shadow of tragedy, a young girl seeks justice.

In the bustling heart of New York, twelve-year-old Aiko Takahashi’s world is shattered when she returns home one evening to find her parents brutally murdered. Her uncle Hiroto steps in to care for her, being the only family she has left. However, just as Aiko begins to settle into life with her uncle, a fierce custody battle erupts with her mother’s best friend. The court deems Hiroto’s troubled past unfit for raising a child, forcing Aiko to live with a strict family friend.

Determined to uncover the truth behind her parents’ deaths, Aiko dives into a dark conspiracy tied to her mother’s stolen technology. Her mother, a brilliant scientist, was on the brink of a groundbreaking discovery in brain enhancement technology meant for good, now twisted by a ruthless tyrant into a tool of power and control.

In a desperate race against time, Aiko must navigate dangerous alliances and confront her deepest fears to unravel the sinister plot. As she inches closer to the truth, Aiko realizes that the road to justice is perilous—but she will stop at nothing to bring her parents’ killers to justice and restore peace to her fractured life.
