CYCLUS Book Launch

Hi, Goodreads Community,

I’m excited to share CYCLUS, my latest novel. Set in the same world as AQUEOUS, it follows Stacy Nakano as she’s pulled back into the mining empire her uncle left behind.

Her journey is harrowing, complex, and full of unexpected turns—and I’m excited for you to experience it alongside her.

I hope you enjoy CYCLUS, and as always, thank you for reading.

Taylor Buck liked Matt Egan's review of AQUEOUS: A Subterranean Thriller (Continuum Book 1): "A truly unique thriller! Aqueous is a sci-fi/horror thriller that's truly different from others available.
