Tales of the Far Wanderers, available for pre-order!
To Gunnar of the Tarn life is wandering. A half-breed with no home to return to, he has escaped the endless wars of his father’s people to drift through the vastness of a land once known as North America. Slow to trust and swift with a sword, he had resigned himself to a lonely, itinerant life. That all changes the day he meets Kamith of the Red Horse. The last of her kind, Kamith barely escapes being sacrificed and joins Gunnar in his wanderings. Together, they will try to build some sort of life in a wild and brutal world. Mad priests, crazy fertility rituals, roving slavers, land-hungry kingdoms, desperate sieges, sprawling civil wars, and deranged warriors are only a few of the challenges they’ll face. Their only reward? To survive and live another day by each other’s side.
Inspired by the sword-slinging pulp heroes of old, this story cycle tells the tales of two vagabonds spurned by the world, and forced to fight off it’s madness at every step. But they’re nothing if not tough, and find in each other much to fight for, and to live for…

New Book Coming
Wanted to let folks know, I have a new book going through the final phases of editing. This one's a military/adventure scifi based around a group of former soldiers hired to protect scientists traveling the multiverse, and the various challenges they face. Can't say much more just yet, but I'm hoping to publish sometime in Spring. Keep an eye out!

New Book Update!
Well folks, just got my latest book back from the copy editor, so I thought I’d let you all in on what’s coming. The book is titled THE BOYS OF THE BREACH, and follows two prematurely retired Army Special Forces soldiers. They’ve been hired to provide protection and security for scientists working at a facility that explores the multiverse, opening breaches into other universes to see what’s out there and what they can learn. But with every possible eventuality existing in one parallel universe or another, they’re bound to run into danger, on a fairly regular basis. That’s where the soldiers come in. Leading a guard company of other former military and police veterans, they take on everything the multiverse can throw at them: Pissed-off sentient dinosaurs, alien critters who feed off body-horror, prehistoric bears with a grudge, interdimensional corsair slavers, wild west madmen bent on refighting the civil war, parallel versions of themselves who cheat at cards…even ex-wives they may or may not still be hung up on. They’re job is to take on them all and bring the egg-heads home safe. The multiverse may be a dangerous place, but these are dangerous people…
THE BOYS OF THE BREACH, keep an eye out. If all goes well, I’m expecting to publish in the sometime in the next month or two!

Easton Keller and Breck Everett wanted nothing more than to serve their country. But when budget cuts cause them to be ‘prematurely retired’ from the Special Forces, these two warriors find themselves embarking on a new adventure. They’ve been hired to provide security for scientists working at a facility that explores the multiverse, opening breaches into other universes to see what’s out there and what they can learn. Given the infinite span of the multiverse, there are endless discoveries out their waiting for mankind to come and find them. But with every possible eventuality existing in one parallel universe or another, they’re bound to run into danger…lots of danger. That’s where the Easton and Breck come in. Leading a guard company of other former military and police veterans, they take on everything the multiverse can throw at them: Pissed-off sentient dinosaurs, alien critters who feed off body-horror, prehistoric bears with a grudge, interdimensional corsair slavers, wild west madmen bent on refighting the civil war, genius scientists who completely lack common sense, parallel versions of themselves who cheat at cards…even ex-wives they may or may not still be hung up on. Their job is to face them all and bring the egg-heads home safe, and they’re among the few who might actually be able to do it. The multiverse may be a dangerous place, but these are dangerous men…

The Day of the Deputy
Stanton Brunner has always lived in the shadow of famous lawmen. His father is a respected town sheriff, his grandfather a legendary, retired U.S. Marshal. But Stan never wanted to have it out with the bandits of the world, and was content to live the quiet life of a frontier town gunsmith. This comes to a crashing end when Bloody Brit Talmadge and his band of outlaws ride into town. Talmadge is a hardened killer with a cruel philosophy to match. He means to rule the town and surrounding valley with an iron fist, and that requires eliminating all who might challenge him. When tragedy strikes Stan’s family at Talmadge’s hands, the young man finds himself with a choice: slink away and do nothing, or take up the badge where no one else will. If he stays and fights, he faces seasoned killers who have him outnumbered, and have the townsfolk running scared. Stan, on the other hand, has never shot at a man, never enforced the law, and never really been in a serious fight. Beyond his inexperience, he’s also torn between a duty to see justice done, and a seething, justifiable desire for revenge. About the only thing the man has going for him is courage, and soon enough that courage will be the only thing standing between a small town and complete annihilation.

New novel, MEN OF THE BREACH, available for pre-order!
Now available for PRE-ORDER. Multiverse military scifi adventures!
Former soldiers Easton Keller and Breck Everett didn’t know what to expect when they first signed up for jobs exploring the multiverse, but after a year they’ve become old hands at taking on the countless dangers that parallel universes dish up. Recovering from a slave raid on their own home base, they face new challenges as they try to rebuild following the devastating attack. Their staff is traumatized, the people of Earth paranoid about the possibility of another attack, and the politicos worried all of this will cost them their careers. Meanwhile, Easton is busy trying to make things work with his guilt-ridden ex-wife, while Breck faces an unexpected life change that nobody saw coming. But despite the new realities, the job must continue, too much has been invested by too many for it to stop. Rex and his Guard Company are going back out into the multiverse, taking on power-hungry Romans, pupating kaiju, post-apocalyptic wastelands, cannibalistic monsters who absorb the wisdom of their enemies, and perhaps worst of all…bureaucrats. As if all that is enough, the corsairs who have caused so much damage are still out there, and they are not taking their loss quietly. The multiverse offers infinite possibilities, and infinite dangers. These are the tales of the men who deal with it.
