Hi everyone,
Updated as of August 31, 2025.
Thanks for reading this page. For a smoother way to contact me, look for the Colony Ship Eschaton series page on Facebook.
I am getting excellent feedback about the audio versions of my books. And over 3 million page reads through Kindle unlimited. Thank you so much for being readers and listeners to my books. I truly appreciate you.
The Colony Ship Eschaton 10 books), the Colony Ship Vanguard (8 books), the Colony Ship Conestoga (8 books), and the Colony Ship Trailblazer (8 books) are all complete and out in kindle, paperback, and AUDIOBOOKS!
The Colony Ship Warren series (7 books) is complete and all are available as kindle, paperback, and audiobooks
The Colony Ship Zubalamo series has four books. Pursuit of the Zubalamo
Fugitives on the Zubalamo
Ghosts on the Zubalamo
Prisoners on the Zubalamo
More in the Colony Ship Zubalamo series are being written.
The audio versions are by professional narrators! Please check out those options! The narrators have done a superb job. I sure hope you listen to those.
One of my works is somewhat different. The Battle on the Marathon is written in first person. That book is stand-alone work, and while it is in the same universe as the other works, is not as directly connected as the five other series.
In the summer of 2022, I released four short stories. Penny, Homecoming, Shelter, and the Dog Unit. These are a different style from my novels and are available as a kindle of audiobook. I think you will like those.
"Year Eighty-Five" is a stand-alone novel which is related to the Colony Ship Universe in a peculiar manner. Can you figure out that mystery?
And percolating in my mind is the Jelly War series which will begin, chronologically at roughly where the Colony Ship Eschaton series ended, but will have many crossover aspects to it.
As to me, I have read science fiction since I was a small child. For over twenty years I have been making notes, writing outlines, and drawing deck plans of the Colony Ship. These jumbled ideas have finally coalesced into book form in the Colony Ship Eschaton series. Damon Knight's "The World and Thorinn" and Robert Heinlein's "Orphans of the Sky" showed me how bizarre and interesting a generational space ship environment could go wrong. Those books, and many others, have given me hours of pleasure in reading.
I worked as an RN for 10 years in various ICUs, cardiac, surgical, and medical. I saw lots of people die, and I also listened to some really amazing people share their life stories with me.
I graduated from a variety of colleges, all of which helped shape and mold me into what I am today. After finishing a doctoral degree, I decided to focus on informal educational endeavors. I still love to learn.
I enjoy reading very much. I read all kinds of literature, from romance novel to historical fiction to science fiction (I love dystopias and stories about things in a post apocalypse) to theology texts, to how to books. Did I miss any genres?
If you are new to my works, you can start with any series, or the Battle on the Marathon. Some readers have discussed which series is their favorite to start, but that is all personal preference. They are all set in the same "universe" or "alternative reality" or "cosmos" I invented. I call it the "Colony Ship Universe" but I hope you call it a fun read!
Back to reality. I have four grown-up daughters, all married, a delightful wife, fabulous grandkids, two wonderful dogs, and a very nice cat.
I live in the Northern Plains of the USA, so I experience the cold and bitter during the winter, and hot and dry during the summers. I also live with a chronic associate, a painful form of degenerative arthritis. I have lots of mechanical parts inside my body, and in some ways, I truly am a cyborg.

Nightmare, Paranoia, or Reality?
Beth and Allen continue to reunite with Elsa. Elsa continues to reach Beth and Allen. But, something is wrong. I recommend this continuation of Colony Ship Warren saga.
