As of the fall of 2013 I have started putting out a number of complete novels. As a writer of short fiction this was a major challenge for me. Some of them are stand alone and some are of course parts of new novel length series. While my novels could not rival the masters of that fictional length, they are, IMO, fun reads. Like everything I write they come from different places and different genres. From classic fantasy to my space opera, I try to focus on character driven fiction.
Dialogue and description are two of my strong points according to both editors and reviewers. So if you like books filled with interesting characters and lots of description, please try one of these books. My Saga of Loralil Greyfox books are, of course, found on a different page of this website. While they are a novella and novel length book, being some of my oldest fiction in publication I have left them on their own page. There is a third book in the works for that series.

Fall Into Nightmares is the first of the Chaos Wars novels. This end of the world story takes place in the Pacific northwest and deals with the world ending not in war, disease, corporate take over or alien invasion. In reality I have combined some of those elements but put my own odd twist into the mix. As the blurb says:
The world as we know it has ended...not in fire, not in flood, but with a scream. Creatures from the dark now run the streets and one woman controls them all.
Yet there are three who stand between mankind and utter destruction: The Warrior, The Protector, and The Healer. Only if they survive the collapse of the modern world and unite their strengths will they be able to stop the Fall Into Nightmares.
There are three who stand between mankind and utter destruction: The Warrior, The Protector and The Healer. Only if they survive the fall of the modern world and united their strengths will they be able to defeat the Mistress of Nightmares.
I wanted to write a series of books about the world ending in a different way. By making technology fail you unless you absolutely totally believed in it to the bottom of your soul, it changed the world as we now know it. Could you believe totally in that gun, enough to trust it to work when a werewolf/vampire/ghoul attacks you?
To Save Face or Family is a magical urban fantasy dealing with predestination and how we believe it effects us. I have combined Japanese/Chinese myths with science and modern monsters. As my blurb says:
Face: A uniquely oriental belief concerning honor, respect and responsibility. Many will give everything, including their lives, for this concept.
Destiny is a young woman of two clans. Growing up in the United States in the 20th century she is thought to be a simple scholar of the cultures and beliefs of the native peoples of Japan and the US. She has willingly joined the ranks of the Firm to protect a younger brother, Kimball, who has a great destiny, that of fighting to save our world from demon forces. But it is her role on which the future hinges that is the question. Was she simply born to protect her younger brother or is her role in the universe a greater one? Is she to be a sacrifice for the greater good.
When the unimaginable happens and she is captured, friends join ranks to fight monsters born out of the mind of men but also those from outside our realm of television monsters and corporations. The question is will they decide to Save Face or Family?
Family is a tricky thing. Their expectations shape us and guide us, no matter how we fight against them. The family we are born to and those that we chose to make family can change us in ways we don't understand.
The Traveler is a classic fantasy novel filled with magical creatures, love, prophecy, battles and more. In this stand alone novel I wanted to explore how a young woman would deal with the consequences of her birth. As the blurb says:
Edana is the finest courier in the Six kingdoms. With her black stallion Midnight, she has built a reputation. But a robbery attempt and cursed blade turn her world upside down.
Now fighting for her life, Edana must rely on unexpected friends and kind-hearted strangers who introduce Magic and Prophecy into her life. Tales of elves, dwarves and elementals are proving true.
Is Edana really who they say she is? Can she really bring closure to an ages old tragedy? Or will events that took place before her birth doom her and all who love her to utter destruction?
This one is meant to be a stand alone novel. The reviews have been kind so far. These novels and all my other work are available across the web.
UPDATE: I have started to put my work up on the Google Play platform for those who prefer to read on their tablets or smart phones. All future novels and short story collections can be found there as I release them, along with Amazon, Barnes and noble, Kobo, ITunes and other e-retailers.

Escape: League of Stars book one
The League of Stars is my take on a classic space opera science fiction. The planned interconnected books will have characters that are specific to each book with the connecting characters of Quirin, a Hunter for the League of Stars and his AI, Babe. Expect a lot of intense action and alien races.
The First book in the series is Escape.
All Caro wants is to dance and to be with Adam but Masters Cyrus and Marshall have other plans for her. Dark plans that will change the fate of the universe. Can she escape those plans or will she be fed to the Demon’s Well?
In a universe filled with alien races and advanced technology, humanity brought with it the ills of war, slavery and piracy. The League of Stars fights to protect those who can’t protect themselves. Hunter Quirin and his AI Babe are a special pair that do what no one else can.
Like all my books you can pick this exciting new novel at all major Ebook retailers. Right now it is all ready up on Amazon!
