With the memory of their losses fresh on Hayley and Quark’s minds, they head for a meet up with the only individual in the galaxy who might be able to help them handle the coming storm.
But the enemy always seems to be one step ahead of them, ready to intercept at every turn and forcing them to make even more sacrifices along the way.

New Release: Triple Threat. Justice of the Covenant, Book One
Some of you may or may not remember that I teased more Covenant novels at the end of Chaos of the Covenant. Well, here's the first installment. This set focuses on Abbey's daughter, Hayley, and her part in the war against the Nephilim (and another enemy who shall not be named). I hope you enjoy it!
Hayley Cage never expected to find herself running jobs with one of the toughest mercenary units working the galaxy's edge. But then, life doesn't always go as planned.
If it did, she would be about to graduate as an Officer in the Republic Military, not prepping for a routine rescue mission on a backwater planet in the middle of nowhere.
A mission that's about to go straight to hell.
When a bad deal leads to a worse situation, Hayley and her squad find themselves trapped planet-side, under heavy attack and fighting to survive against the most dangerous threat they've ever encountered. A threat they can't afford to leave unchecked, even if it means they have to die to stop it.
If they don't, it's going to be a whole lot more than their lives that are lost.
It's going to be the whole galaxy.
New Release: Triple Blind. Justice of the Covenant, Book One
Some of you may or may not remember that I teased more Covenant novels at the end of Chaos of the Covenant. Well, here's the first installment. This set focuses on Abbey's daughter, Hayley, and her part in the war against the Nephilim (and another enemy who shall not be named). I hope you enjoy it!
The mission was supposed to be simple. Drop in, rescue some kids, get the hell out.
For witch doctor Hayley Cage, the newest member of the elite mercenary unit known as Quark’s Riders, it’s also her chance to finally join the war against the bastards that murdered her father, tried to turn her into a weapon, and ultimately left her for dead.
But when the mission goes sideways, Hayley is left on her own, forced to navigate the sudden chaos and somehow save her squad from a showdown with a new form of super soldier:
The kind with big claws and sharp teeth.
High stakes? Check.
Insurmountable odds? Check.
Action-packed and full of surprises? You’re damn right.
They wanted a weapon? They're going to get one.

NEW RELEASE: FORSAKEN. THE FORGOTTEN, BOOK 2
Sheriff Hayden Duke was born on the starship Pilgrim, like his father, and his father before him.
He expects to die any second.
He's already been attacked by demonic aliens, rogue soldiers, and even the people he thought were his friends.
He's survived.
Barely.
Outcast. Forsaken. He's entered a strange new world. A world he knows nothing about. A world he's never stepped foot on before. A world where hope has been buried beneath the claws of monsters and the boots of a tyrant.
They took his wife. He has to find her. He has to survive. Another second. Another breath. He can never give up. He can never rest until she's back in his arms.
They'll try to stop him. They'll try to break him. Of course, they'll try.
It won't be as easy as they think. A new hope is rising in an old world.
There's a new Sheriff in town.

New Release: Forgotten: The Forgotten Book 1
I'm really happy to announce the release of my next ALL NEW series, The Forgotten. I don't want to give anything away, but if you've read any of my books before you probably know what you're in for. Lots of action, lots of unexpected twists and turns, and a fun, unique ride you can't take with anyone else. Thanks for coming along!
Some things are better off FORGOTTEN.
Sheriff Hayden Duke was born on the Pilgrim, and he expects to die on the Pilgrim, like his father, and his father before him.
That’s the way things are on a Generation starship centuries from home. He’s never questioned it. Never thought about it. And why bother? Access points to the ship’s controls are sealed, the systems that guide her automated and out of reach. It isn’t perfect, but he has all he needs to be content.
Until a collision sends his wife to the edges of the habitable zone to inspect the damage.
Until she contacts him, breathless and terrified, to tell him she found a body, and it doesn’t belong to anyone on board.
Until Hayden arrives to inspect it and discovers his wife is gone.
The only clue? A bloody handprint beneath a hatch that hasn’t opened in hundreds of years.
Until now.

It's time to go big or go home, and the Rejects don't have a home.
