There is a gun pointed at all of human space and it is in the hands of a madman.

The ancient Star Engine, a colossal construct of unknown power, is in the hands of a manipulating schemer.  He has already used it once to strike at his enemies, wiping out two entire fleets without giving them the opportunity to fight back.

To make matters worse, he has hundreds of thousands of thousands of hostages: men and women he has kidnapped, so that he can mentally program them to do his bidding.

The United Colonies Fleet has to stop him.  Emperor Lucius Giovanni has a plan.  He has an ally, too.  His sister, Lieutenant Alanis Giovanni, is on the surface of the Star Engine, and she plans to take the construct and free the prisoners.  If she can do that, then Lucius might have a chance in seizing the system without losing entire fleets.

First, though, Lucius has to deal with the treacherous Centauri Confederation, which seems bent upon destroying the new nation he has built, deal with unknown aliens who kill without explanation or remorse, and protect the worlds of the United Colonies.

The fate of human space and possibly far more rests upon who controls the Star Engine.

Hey everyone, it’s May already!

I’m happy to announce that The Star Engine, book 7 of the Shadow Space Chronicles will be going live for pre-order very soon. I’m aiming for a July release.

I’m hard at work at a number of projects right now. Unfortunately the release of another book, which I’d planned for this month, is under a delay with the publisher, so I’m going to miss having a new book out this month.

I’m outlining and starting work on the 8th Shadow Space book, which I’ll follow with the 9th. It feels great to be working on this series again and, for those of you who have been reading my stuff since the start, you know this is the series that started my writing career, all the way back with The Fallen Race, the first full-length novel I released.

I’ll have a series trailer and a book trailer coming soon, and with the longer publishing timeline, I’ll start posting snippets for The Star Engine in June.

That’s all for now, thanks for reading!

Coming March 1, 2024: Valor’s Exodus!

The Centurions are going home.

For Jiden Armstrong and the others who have fought to assemble a fleet capable of liberating their planet and rescuing their refugees, this has been a tremendous effort.  It has cost the lives of hundreds and Jiden has tackled one impossible task after the next, so that her people, her family, can return to the world of her birth.

Except, this is only the beginning.  In defying the Guard, the Centurions have made themselves the target for the most powerful forces in human space.  The UN Star Guard will throw spies, saboteurs, and even entire fleets at them if it means stopping them.  Because if a group of mercenaries from one tiny planet can thumb their noses at the Guard, then anyone can and that could spell the beginning of the end for them.

The Guard are willing to fire on the civilian refugee ships if that’s what it takes.  Valor will have to safeguard the exodus of Jiden’s people, all the way back to their homeworld.

Happy February everyone!

It’s a bit of a belated update here, we’re halfway through the month and all. Earlier this month, I released Loaned Valor, the latest in the Forsaken Valor series. There was a bit of a mixup with the cover text (it said book 7 instead of book 6) though I got that fixed on Amazon so we should be good now.

I’ll be releasing the 9th book of the Children of Valor series in about 2 weeks, I’m aiming for the 1st of March for release. Look for the announcement soon, I just saw the cover and I’m really excited for it.

On the writing front, I’m finishing up Maligned Valor, the sequel to Loaned Valor, and the *actual* book 7 of that series. Once I’m done with that, I’ll finally start work on the next Shadow Space Chronicles book. It’s been far too long, I’m excited to get to work on the series and my plan is to have 3 more books in that series ready to go this year.

I do have a lot on my plate, and even with a leap-year, February is a short month. So wish me luck and look for more updates soon! Thanks for reading!

Hey everyone, I’ve finished a book trailer for Loaned Valor:
