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…

Just finished a first draft on a fourth Chaos Quarter book. Can't give any dates yet, but will be looking to publish in the coming months. Keep an eye out!

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!

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!

Hey everyone. Just to give a heads up, I'm planning to publish my first book of poetry in the coming months. It's mostly narrative poetry in traditional rhyming schemes, with some heavier stuff mixed in, and some weird stuff that just popped into my head. Keep an eye out!

Hey everyone, just writing to tell you all to keep an eye out, I'm hoping to publish a new book in the next few months (Hopefully October!) This ones a western action-adventure, a tale of vengeance vs justice in a coming-of-age story that pits a young man and his unprepared compatriots against a hardened bandit gang with visions of grandeur.

NEW RELEASE! Now available for PRE-ORDER:

The Day of the Deputy

They killed his father, kidnapped his girl, and threatened his friends and neighbors. They’re a band of hardened bandits who’ve been preying on the frontier for years. He’s a raw, twenty-year-old kid who’s never pointed a gun at a man in his life. Yet his courage is all that stands between a small town and utter destruction…

Rex Vahl just wanted to go home, that’s it. After more than a year in the Chaos Quarter, fighting everything from intergalactic hordes to genetic supremacists, he wants nothing more then to limp back to the Free Terran Commonwealth for a well-deserved break, alongside his friends and the woman he loves. But the universe isn’t that kind. With his ship damaged from months of fighting, he finds himself caught by surprise, his vessel crippled by pirates he normally wouldn’t think twice about. Before he can react he finds half of his crew captured, and the remainder stranded on a hidden world ruled by a vicious crime syndicate. Already stretched to a breaking point, he now finds himself vastly outnumbered, and without the usual technological edge he’s grown to rely on. If he tries to fight, he faces near certain defeat. If he doesn’t, good friends will be sold into slavery. He's used to fighting for people who need the help, but now he’ll be fighting out of anger and desperation, conditions he is not at all accustomed to…

CHAOS QUARTER: SYNDICATE WAYS, coming this summer.

COMING SOON...

Lucius Alvadile was looking forward to nothing more then getting home to his wife and young son, who he hasn’t seen in nearly a year. Hurting at missing so many milestones, he’s in no mood for another adventure. But since when has that ever mattered to the universe?

When the ship is taken by surprise Lucius finds himself captured, in the hands of mafioso slavers who rule a world with an iron fist. Making it worse, when they realize who he is, they set him aside to sell to the Europan Empire, the people he betrayed and fled years earlier. Lucius finds himself at the mercy of the syndicate’s don, a psychopath with growing mental instabilities, awaiting torment and death at the hands of people who revile him. But all hope is not lost. Rex is still out there, and Lucius may be able to get back at his captors in some way, using those same instabilities to strike at his captor’s psyche. Will he get out of this mess alive, or just be the next victim of a slave empire?

Coming soon...

Harlow, despite being over a hundred years old, hasn’t seen that much of the universe. She spent the first half of her life as a genetic supremacist for the monstrous Perfected Hegemony, before fleeing to the Valhallan Norse to live a normal life. But when the last of her family passed away, she threw in with Rex Vahl and the crew of the Longshot, falling in love with the cyborg crewman Jake Gaderi. While her presence may not be entirely welcome, she’s eager to see the universe, the worlds of ‘primitives’ she once looked down on. But when their ship is shot out of the stars Harlow finds herself in the hands of slavers, and struggling to survive on a crimeworld where death is as common as breathing. Alone amongst people she doesn’t know, she’ll discover real quick that some parts of the galaxy may be exciting, but aren’t exactly inviting…
