Cover Update

The work continues on the release of the first Terminus book. Here’s the latest in-process version of the cover. We’re probably looking at an early 2026 release at this point with two or three books being released a month apart.

Coming Soon: TERMINUS!

Haven’t updated in awhile but I’ve been hard at work prepping my new science fiction series for publication! Based on critiques I ended up doing a lot more rewrites than I originally intended. I’ve been writing this since 1993 so I’ve got a lot of blind spots when it comes to this series! I still plan to publish the first book before the end of the year. Rewrites have been extending the page count to the point where the first season of the show is going to end up being three books instead of...

Update!

The work continues on publishing my science fiction series TERMINUS. I recently had the very fortunate opportunity to get the great Jonathan Maberry to read my opening scene… which means heavy rewrites are now in order haha. So once the revisions and editing are done… I’m still anticipating publishing the first two books by the end of the year!

TERMINUS will ultimately be fourteen books long and the first seven have already been completed. It’s just a matter of getting them ready for public...

Dynasty Book 4 Publication Day!

I don’t want to talk about the contents too much since it would spoil the original trilogy, but the epic fantasy series DYNASTY continues today with Book 4 The Asterisk of History! This is the beginning of the second trilogy in the series, it’s pretty different, but I’m very proud of how it turned out. It’s Pilo’s life story! And he’s got a lot of life to cover.

Seeking to save the life of his dead friend King Arthur, young Merlin travels through time to recruit Rasputin, only to fall into the mad monk’s clutches! Can Merlin escape Rasputin’s control and stop his evil plot in ancient Eygpt?

This is a 22 page short story I submitted for a time travel anthology. The editor liked the story but understandable went with more high profile authors. But I was happy with the piece so I’m publishing it on my own now. I did a fair bit of research on the myths...
