I'm happy to provide review copies to reliable reviewers. Just send me a message.

My debut novel, Ramus, got good reviews so I wrote a short prequel called Training Day, which is also on Amazon. The full sequel, Fractured, is in progress and will be released in 2020, nope 2021, nope 2022, maybe 2023 lol.

Thanks ...more
