The Hencha Queen print wrap

Hey all… Something fun for you this week. The prologue of The Hencha Queen, coming out in just seventeen more days. I’ll share Chapter One next week. Enjoy! Universal Buy Link Prologue: Spin’s quantum brain was in flux, trying to process everything. Aik was under the spell of some strange entity. Another artificial construct like himself? Raven had been at Anghar Mor. His first friend in almost a hundred years, lost. And what about me? He’d been human once. A husband with a daughter named Sera. The same Sera who had flown with him on the Spin Diver, much later. He was certain … Read more

Gullton Map - The Dragon Eater

Hey all… we’re just two months away from my first major release in twenty months – I released Dropnauts in May of 2021. I didn’t mean for it to take this long, but there were reasons. That said, I am thrilled to bring my new Tharassas Cycle to you thanks to Steven Radecki and Water Dragon Publications. It’s loosely connected to The Ariadne Cycle and Dropnauts, and to The Oberon Cycle too, falling somewhere in the middle of these two time-wise. It’s my boy-eats-dragon, other boy-wears-gauntlet, girl-becomes hencha queen YA/Adult crossover sci-fantasy four book trilogy. Isn’t that a mouthful? To … Read more

by
Dropnauts

Dropnauts is arriving in just two more weeks, so I thought I’d tease you a bit with another excerpt. 🙂 This one starts a century after The Stark Divide, and reveals what happened back on Earth. This week, Ally and Aidan: Ally and Aidan followed the yellow stripes of the old, crumbling two-lane highway through what had once been the Central Valley of California. Aidan imagined it full of cars, commuters rushing back and forth across the now-empty valley. The land here was mostly open, with small stands of the sky trees here and there. Grass had taken over the … Read more

This week, Chen Tien, the medic: Her family was been enjoying a picnic on the Chinese side of Riverside Park. Tai had climbed up onto the bright red rail of the bridge. She perched on top, watching the clear water flow over the round pebbles below. It glistened and sparkled, murmuring its secrets to her. “Tai, get down from there!” Her mother’s strong arms … Read more

Dropnauts

Dropnauts is arriving in just three weeks, so I thought I’d tease you a bit with another excerpt. 🙂 This one starts a century after The Stark Divide, and reveals what happened back on Earth. This week, Hera the pilot: The ending strains of Thus Spoke Zarathustra faded into the background as the Zhenyi settled into her new course. The ship would be on autopilot for two days as they hurtled toward the Launchpad. There was nothing more for Hera to do for a while. She pressed the releases on her biframe, pulling off the metal braces and tucking them … Read more
