I had a lot of fun crafting Cadogan’s Gamble. As a writer, I love creating new worlds to explore, new backdrops to employ, and I think the worlds of the Luminari Cluster will give me a great canvas with which to paint this series. It is my deepest hope that my readers will enjoy reading this series as much as I enjoy writing it.

Cadogan’s Gamble is the first book of the Luminari Cluster Series. Set in a densely packed star cluster, the Commonwealth spans five inhabited worlds and three inhabited moons. The series follows bounty hunter Chase Cadogan, his partner Katalla Swift. and his mechanic Fixer Faraday aboard Cadogan’s ship: the Longshot. Here’s the synopsis for the first book: Cadogan’s Gamble.

     The Luminari Cluster Commonwealth hasn’t seen war in over a century. Without warning, a powerful race of aliens  demand the Commonwealth find one of their missing scientists or face war.

     Vanguard Tobias, the leader of the Commonwealth, gives the task to a bounty hunter named Chase Cadogan. Chase has to push aside thoughts of his once promising military career and pull the crew of the Longshot together for the mission.

     Now, with the clock ticking, Chase must find the missing alien while evading a criminal with a personal vendetta, a secret agent with unknown loyalties, and a self-serving Captain with a hidden agenda. Will Chase complete his mission in time for the Commonwealth to avoid war?
