Elemental Warfare

Stone Soldiers #0.1 - 0.4

To combat these dark forces, the U.S. military has formed a special Detachment of psychics and supersoldiers. In this anthology of previously-published tales, follow Detachment 1039's progress against the darkness, beginning in 1962 with the accidental creation of the first Stone Soldier and continuing to the modern era and an ancient monster free from a submerged tomb.

When not writing or spending time with his family, C.E. can be found binge-watching scifi series and modern B-Movies, battling virtual villains on X-Box, or biding his time until the next trip to the gun range.
