Hello and welcome to my website. I’m an author hard at work at delivering sixteen novels that tell the stories I dream of.
My second novel, In This Crystal Sky, is available on Amazon.
A brief synopsis:
The Million Isles float far above the surface of the world, held aloft by the strange interaction between the crystals under each island and the distant crystal ground.
The people there have adapted well to their skybound existence since the islands were first ripped free of the surface a thousand years prior. They travel far and wide using airships or jumper gear pulled and pushed by that very same mystical connection between the crystals. Commerce flourishes as empires and city-states compete.
There are some who are not part of that profitable relationship: the Marked. They hide in secluded communities to avoid the hostility and hatred of all the other inhabitants of the Million Isles. Everyone fears their unique power of being able to call forth golems from the ubiquitous crystals. More often than not, they are used as scapegoats for the horrors of the world.
Tevios is one of the Marked. He was born and sheltered away from the world. Everyday he dreams of leaving his home island to see what sights and peoples might exist beyond its borders, not believing that the words of caution expressed by his elders could be true. Surely others cannot hate the Marked as much as they claim.
Then the world comes knocking, and Tevios learns that some traditions exist for a reason. Forced to ally himself with a ragtag crew of thieves, he sets out on a quest to rescue what was stolen from him by mastering the powers he was born with and learning other valuable skills along the way.
Yet as he delves deeper into the dark secrets of the Million Isles, Tevios discovers something horrific that may very well spell the end of both his people and the entire world as well.
Books 2 & 3 of the trilogy will be coming later this year.
My first novel, What Winds Assail Us, is available on Amazon.
What Winds Assail Us follows Byron and Merana Tam, married starfighter pilots that have their brains taken out and placed into artificially-designed transhuman bodies that possess abilities beyond anything a normal person is capable of. Included in the suite of new organs and glands in their enhanced forms is a special organ that allows them to mentally connect to the technology of the Gava Collective—an alien race formerly defeated and exterminated by humanity. This technology is a series of interconnected and changeable polyhedrons that can emit energy for propulsion or weaponry. They can assume almost any shape, thereby creating a nearly infinite array of options for someone with enough imagination.
Yet their rebirth is into a time of tribulation. Earth itself has been destroyed by a hostile alien force. Forced to use their new bodies and abilities for war, they have no choice but to master them quickly. The technology of the Gavi must be harnessed to create the most deadly starfighters the galaxy has ever seen. Yet this connection comes at an unforeseen cost.
Joining the remnants of the human fleets, they confront and battle the main alien armada only to learn that the war might not be what it seems to be and that the true enemy could be someone or something else entirely.
