“Don’t let those things bite you. They ain’t human…not anymore. If you have a weapon, don’t be afraid to use it!”

It’s just another day, or so it seems. Pete wakes to static on his clock radio. Suddenly, an emergency message declaring martial law and warning people to stay indoors interrupts the white noise. There’s a prerecorded message from the President on all the television channels. As Pete listens in shock, hiss neighbor begins pounding on his front window, her flesh gray and her eyes cloudy, biting at the air with her teeth.

Mike, Pete’s coworker, calls and stirs Pete from his state of shock. He’s on his way to the mountains. He’s got a cabin and supplies. Unfortunately, that doesn’t work out so well for Mike. But there’s Anna, the girl Pete’s been meaning to ask out. She’s still alive and they set out to find some place safe and pray this is all a bad dream.

Days later, a message on short wave radio promises there’s safety in San Francisco. Hope! That’s all Pete needs to forge ahead. Pete and Anna meet other survivors, military men, along the way and find the sanctuary they were promised. Safety, however, is fleeting. When the horde arrives, Pete and his friends must fight to protect their new home. They must wage the battle of San Francisco.

SHTF: The Battle for San Francisco is the first in a new series of post apocalyptic fiction.  The story is full of action, suspense, a bit of humor and a lot of human drama.  You’ll follow the characters as they face life in a new, horrifying world and learn to survive.

Yeah, I wrote this!  Deal with it.  Seriously, I’ve had this idea in my head for a while.  It sounds so pulpy, like some kind of 70’s grindhouse film.  It’s a bit racy in parts but nothing over the top.  Mainly, it’s a paranormal action story featuring plenty of humor, quirky characters and a few surprises.

Jack and Tori are jobless, homeless and almost hopeless. Hoping to make it to Texas and greener pastures, they stop along the way in Superstition, New Mexico, to find work to fund the remainder of their trip. Jack finds work with a local contractor but Tori decides she needs to help out and applies to be a stripper at Ruby’s Lounge.

Ruby’s isn’t your typical strip club, however. It’s infested with vampires, beautiful, sexy, lesbian vampires, and their leader, Ophelia, takes an immediate liking to Tori. Jack’s wife can’t resist Ophelia’s charms and begs the vampires to make her. A single bite later, and Tori can barely remember Jack with all these sexy lady vampires running around.

But after the vampires take Tori to their mountain lair and the local Sheriff refuses to assist Jack, he is desperate to find help to get his wife back. However, a burned out prepper turned vampire hunter along with the one and only member of the local motorcycle club, the Snapdragons, seem to be the only ones stupid, crazy and/or brave enough to lend a hand. When lesbian vampire strippers steal your wife, you need all the help you can get.

Lesbian Vampire Strippers Stole My Wife is a pulp novel full of action, adventure, suspense and plenty of humor. There’s a great cast of quirky characters, a bit of sexy fun and more than a few twists and turns to keep you on the edge of your seat. But whatever you do, don’t get bit.

Secret agents, double-crossing German scientists, atomic bombs!  What’s not to love?  Nazis, that’s what.  Nazis, I hate those guys.  This is James Bond meets Indiana Jones meets The Dirty Dozen…or something like that.  The action stats at word one and never lets up.  Plus there’s a hot blonde and she gets [tastefully] naked…nuff said!

John Powell is the heroic lone survivor when his squad is overrun by Germans in Sicily. That all too familiar tragedy catches the attention of the top secret Office of Strategic Service, the OSS. John is recruited and sent to a hidden facility in Scotland for training as a secret agent. Once he’s paid his dues, John is ordered to occupied France to deliver a German defector into Allied hands.

The German defector, however, is a nuclear scientist and he can’t leave without destroying his work. John Powell sees an opportunity to prove himself and get a little payback for the slaughter of his buddies back in Sicily. As the two make their way back into Germany, the scientist proves to be less than truthful. The scientist’s treachery puts John in breach of the first rule of the OSS…don’t get captured!

John Powell may have been captured, but he’s not willing to give up just yet. Join an OSS Cloak & Dagger Man as he fights the Nazis in a clandestine war deep in the heart of Germany. You’ll find rousing action & adventure, sinister villains and steamy wartime romance in the classic pulp style of the 1940’s. Only one OSS secret agent can stop Hitler from getting an atomic bomb and John Powell is that man!

Saving Private Ryan.  Band of Brothers.  Goddamn, that kind of stuff just speaks to me.  The heroism of ordinary men in such trying circumstances is…I’m about to tear up, give me a moment.  Seriously, I love stories like those and if you do to, you’ll love my homage to all those that fought for freedom and liberty, especially those who fought on D-Day.

June 6th, 1944. D-Day. Thousands of allied soldiers stormed the beaches of Normandy hours after many others parachuted behind enemy lines. But amidst the terror and heroism, six men of the 101st Airborne find themselves trapped and cut off from the allied beachhead.

They must make a decision. Do they hide and wait for rescue or do they do their duty, doing what they can from behind the German lines? Well, they’re paratroopers and they have the Germans right where they want them.
