About the author

I am a creator of worlds and a destroyer of words. As a fantasy writer, my works range from traditional epics to futuristic fantasy with starships. I have worked as an unpaid Little League pitcher, a cashier, a student library aide, a factory grunt, a cubicle drone, and an engineer--there is some overlap in the last two.

Through it all, though, I was always a storyteller. Eventually I started writing books based on the stray stories in my head, and people kept telling me to write more of them. Now, that's all I do for a living.

I enjoy strategy, worldbuilding, and the fantasy author's privilege to make up words. I am a gamer, a joker, and a thinker of sideways thoughts. But I don't dance, can't sing, and my best artistic efforts fall short of your average notebook doodle. When you read my books, you are seeing me at my best.

My ultimate goal is to be both clever and right at the same time. I have it on good authority that I have yet to achieve it.

Reviews

Listened to this on Audible, which I'd highly recommend. This story was easy to follow, even though the length of the 6 books made it really long.
I loved Eve 14, and will be looking for other titles by this author. The flow of the story was good, and although there was a lot of world building and technical details having to do with the society of robots, it didn't drag down the story like it sometimes does with other authors.

Was Much more emotionally charged than I was prepared for after reading the black ocean series.
Did have the initial feel of the classic action genre.

Quite a bit to work though 6 books and 55+ hours of audible … but highly recommended . Some great sci-fi concepts and a wonderful story arch.

Soooo paternalistic

Someone please tell me this gets better? I'm five chapters in and have had to put it down because it's so hard to stomach the benevolent paternalism, with father figure men treating a grown ass woman like she's a 3 year old... and she's acting like a three year old (she's human and they're robots, but she's literally fully grown). It's giving me hard flashbacks to 1950s sci-fi, where the men were all strong and condescending, while the women's role was to be helpless, perpetually described as delicate and wide-eyed 🤢

DNF. Just could not continue it because many chapters in it's just boring and annoying (especially as it's so long it would take forever to finish). World building is so so, and robots wanting to have humans doesn't really make any sense. Narration is mediocre.

One of my absolute favorites. The way J.S. Morin describes things is like seeing through prismatic lenses and everything being mad and fantastic, and I can't get enough -laughs manically in robot-
