Pre-Order: Get Jacked Today

by

After a FAR FAR longer break than I’d ever expected, my next publication is up for Pre-Order! I am beyond excited. The title is Jacked, and here’s a short blurb: She can’t remember her today, but her yesterday will never be forgotten. When recovering addict Ava Blake awakens with more than just a mild case of amnesia, she’s unsure if the procedure performed on her was against her will, or—even worse—her own idea. They say that with time, her memories will return. But, will they be … Read more

Free Fiction Thursday: Linear Shift, Part 1

by

ႎ Linear Shift, Part 1 was my first published book. After meeting Hugh Howey in 2013, I was inspired to write a serialized novel. This is the first part of the four-part novel. This story stands alone but is the introduction to the complete novel. Here’s the book description: A distraught widower on his last leg. An unexpected mission back in time. When Peter Cooper has a bizarre encounter with a desperate Army general, he’s suddenly catapulted to the year 1942—World War II is in full swing. … Read more

The Anthology won the award for The Best Anthology Of The Year as voted in the 2016 Preditors and Editors Readers Poll. Rememorations was also nominated for Best American Science Fiction. Here’s a quick synopsis: Is living forever all that it’s … Read more

Free Fiction Monday: Recoil

by

ႎ Recoil: A Silo Story is a short story written in Hugh Howey’s world of Wool. Although Recoil takes place in Silo 18, the story follows an alternate timeline to Wool that bypasses Shift and Dust. My story takes place some 20 to 25 years after the end of Wool and is the first installment of a short trilogy of my own. I hope you enjoy reading my story as much as I enjoyed writing it. I would like to thank Hugh Howey for his … Read more

Discover Sci-Fi Top 10 List

by

When it comes to top 10 lists, I normally take them with a grain of salt. Especially when it’s regarding subjective matter. And fiction is certainly that. It’s very subjective. So much so that although I love receiving book reviews for my own novels, I personally do not review other authors’ books. Because it’s too subjective. What I like or dislike might not align with the overall impression of the piece. Obviously, there are exceptions to every rule. If I’m totally blown away by a … Read more

I wrote The Hunted Assassin a few years ago and submitted to the now defunct Kindle Scout. Although it was well received, it was not selected in the end. With the rejection letter in hand, I had the manuscript edited, and about a month later I published it on my own. Since its publication, I’ve worked up outlines for two sequels for Jaxon Rasner, with many more possible in his near-future world. Here’s the book description: His name is an alias. His pretense is a disguise.  … Read more

Robert Paulson and Paul Robertson have real a problem. Each of them have suffered physical or mental injuries, causing moderate cases of amnesia. Hypnosis and other experimental devices are employed—with varying levels of effectiveness—in restoring their memories.

Gateway was originally written to be part of a multi-author anthology, with each contributing tale worthy of being read … Read more

Book Review: Ready Player One

The first time I read Ready Player One was back in October of 2014. I had recently bought a new Kindle and was in the process of loading it up with some new, unread fiction. By the time I finally bought the book, it had been out for more than three years, and the buzz was still pretty high. To tell the truth, I was reluctant to read it because of all that buzz. Many times, when a book or movie catches wild-fire, it’s usually … Read more
