New Book Launch
Pioneer Sun is releasing on June 15th, both as an e-book and a paperback. It's pretty hardcore science fiction.
Available on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FBLJGWW5
The Blurb:
Retired JPL engineer Henry Hume believes there is a hidden planet on the far side of our sun. He has over a hundred years of data telling him just that, all in cardboard boxes. It’s enough to convince NASA to launch a probe at least.
But things don’t go quite as expected. The denizens of the Hidden World have an agenda of their own, and have long lived in fear of the humans.
Is it NASA’s last mission before political turmoil shuts the agency down? Who will save us as the world unravels before our very eyes?

New Book!
Novel #16 is out and about on Amazon Younger Dryas.
A curious mix of genres... It took me over a year to complete.
The blurb:
Private Detective Farrell Walker travels to a strange little town in upstate New York for his day in court. He’s just there to beat a speeding ticket, but a beautiful stranger persuades him to take on a new case: her younger sister has gone missing. It’s soon apparent things are not what they seem.
A dark secret lies beneath Devil’s Ridge where a mysterious race of hyperboreans have been living since the Mesolithic Age. Can Detective Walker save this ancient civilization? And will anyone believe him? Murder, mystery, and mole-men await in this hollow earth adventure.

Perhaps…

Six stars? Well that should even out at least one of those fatal 4 star reviews. The Reviewer is a true masterwork, and should be required reading for anybody thinking of becoming an indie writer. Very funny, and lots of truth. Now, how much can I charge for this review....
