Books! Books! Look at these books!
Books, yes, books. Books that I’ve written, and if you’ll pardon the blatent plea, books I hope you’ll come purchase. I have been blessed as a writer to only have need for one job over the course of the last few years, which allows me time in the mornings to do my best writing and also spend extra time with my children. However, things haven’t been the best of sales at the day job since the beginning of the year, and I’m forced with the idea of sacrificing time in order to make ends meet. I’ll do what I have to do, but hopefully I can turn things around. Hence the plea: come purchase books.
You could go to my Amazon.com page, or if you’d rather direct links, here’s ways to check out my books based on their appeal:
The Icarus Void: a sci-fi horror novel in which the crew of a starship designed to dive into the heart of a star discovers an alien artifact in orbit around Earth’s Sun.
Equinox I: Between Gods and Monsters: a sci-fi adventure where the crew of the starship Archangel are tasked with investigating an alien planet with no rotation, no orbit, and a possible connection to the origins of man.
a ruthless echo: a horror story featuring a young author named Alex Crawford, who goes on vacation to deal with his writer’s block and loss of his wife, but discovers a typewriter that can alter the world around him.
Dust McAlan and the Empire of the Serpent: an action/adventure book which follows Dust McAlan, treasure hunter and daredevil pilot, as he goes on a quest to discover a hidden civilization to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands.
If anything sounds appealing, give it a look, or if not, give the post a reblog. I hate making this kinds of appeals, but while I’m not quite at desperate times, I’m getting close. Anything is appreciated. Thank you for reading!

Meet Professor Emil Kulsky, Dust McAlan’s adopted father...
Meet Professor Emil Kulsky, Dust McAlan’s adopted father and prominent figure in archaeological circles. His quest for the Empire of the Serpent hopes to reunite him with his estranged son, and Dust’s quest follows in his footsteps. Will the two reunite and mend their relationship? Perhaps on Father’s Day — which is today. Happy Father’s Day to you and yours, whether related by blood or by law, may it be a happy one, and may your journeys be slightly less chaotic, but no less adventurous.

Researchers finally discover, plan to open Dracula's grave. We're all going to die.
The headline says it all.
The treasure hunter/archaeologist in me is like, “Holy crow! This is amazing!” The horror enthusiast in me is like, “YOU FOOLS! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!”

Puzzlewood Magical Forest — The Real Middle...
Puzzlewood Magical Forest — The Real Middle Earth
Puzzlewood is a unique and enchanting place, located in the beautiful and historic Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire, England. There is more than a mile of meandering pathways through Puzzlewood and over 14 acres of ancient woodland. It has an atmosphere quite unlike any other wood. The magical forest is one of the most stunning in the world and it’s easy to see why it’s been used as a filming location for Merlin and Dr. Who. It is no wonder that JRR Tolkien is reputed to have taken his inspiration for the fabled forests of Middle Earth from Puzzlewood.
In Puzzlewood you will find strange rock formations, secret caves and ancient trees. The geological features here are known locally as scowles. The scowles originated through the erosion of natural underground cave systems formed in limestone many millions of years ago. Uplift and erosion caused the cave system to become exposed at the surface. This was then exploited by Iron Age settlers through to Roman times for the extraction of iron ore.
Evidence of Roman occupation of the area is supported by the discovery of a hoard of over 3,000 Roman coins from the 3rd Century which were found in the scowles of Puzzlewood. Once the Romans left, nature reclaimed the old workings with moss and trees, to create the unique landscape. The historical use soon became forgotten, and the folklore of “Puzzlewood” began.
In the early 1800s, a local landowner laid down a mile of pathways which meandered through the trees and gulleys to open up this ancient forest originally for the amusement of his friends and children. In the early 1900s, Puzzlewood opened to the public. Since then it is has remained essentially unchanged with the same stunning pathways and bridges as in earlier times, but with the addition of a variety of animals and visitor facilities.
