Kal’s February 2026 Update

1 Comment

Hey everyone, we’re more than halfway through the month already, but I wanted to give a quick update!

First, the good news: I’ve finished Spectres of Valor last weekend and started edits on it. If all goes well, I’ll have it out to beta readers this week and (crossing my fingers) it’ll be up for order soon, as in next month. More to follow, as it’s been a long time coming, but I feel like I nailed this one, so we’ll see what other people think, right?

Second the great news: I’m several thousand words into Valor’s Liberation, the next book of the Children of Valor series. If I can put the same energy into it as I have in Spectres of Valor, I think everyone is going to love it.

I’ve got a lot of projects in the air and a lot of real-life things taking up my time as well, but it’s an incredibly good feeling to return to the Children of Valor books and get writing on them again.

Thanks for reading and look back here soon for news on book release dates!

Hell Train: Green Line Release and Book Trailer

Leave a comment

Hey everyone, today is the day for Hell Train: Green Line! I’ve got a book trailer, some back cover copy, and it’s a perfect cold weekend day to enjoy a book about destroying undead and evil sentient plants.

The modern world is gone, replaced by tides of possessed undead and demonic monsters.

Through this hellscape, a train full of survivors makes their way from the death-zones of the East Coast towards a hope of safety in the West. They have crossed the mighty Mississippi, led by former Army Captain Jack Zamora, and defeated a messianic cult leader who worshiped a demon on earth.

Now, though, they face a new threat… something alien, something ancient. Horrific mutated plants, demonic trees, and hordes of spore-possessed corpses that will bury the living in a tide of dead flesh. Worse, internal struggles on the train put everything at risk, with the most recent rescues presenting as much of a threat as anything else.

The only way forward is down a line of tracks leading right through the green center of a cursed place. Jack will have to lead his people to safety before their dwindling supplies of food and fuel run out. Will he succeed, or will the horrors of this hellish world consume them all?
