The Lure of Cold Metal (DEFIANT excerpt)
Defiant is available from Autonomous Press in both paperback and ebook editions.
The Lure of Cold Metal
Clay watched himself in the mirror. He did not think that he looked unstable, just sad. Slick channels of tears cut through the foamy beard made by his shaving gel, but otherwise he was just a person. Anyone who watched his bathroom habits would think so.
Why, then, did he have such a hard time? Why was it that looking at his own face made him tremble and his fingers twitch, lea...

Communication Gap (DEFIANT excerpt)
Editor's note: I am at the SDS 2015 conference in Atlanta for the launch of Defiant, so I'm a little too busy this week to write. Instead, I've decided to share a sample chapter from the paperback so that people who missed the serial version can see what the fuss is about. Ordering information is linked at the end of the post.
