DOOMSDAY PLANET

 Interplanetary Battle


DOOMSDAY PLANET
The world’s richest man just made a killer deal with an alien species; he’s sold them the human race! Astronaut Marcus Reno dies in a lunar accident, only to be resurrected by a race of benevolent time travelers to command a regiment of warriors plucked from Earth’s past. Their mission: save humanity from an invasion by the Zagan—tyrannical aliens working in cahoots with Earth’s richest man, who’s eager to leap from oligarch to god. With doomsday imminent, Reno leaps into battle with only a band of Viking berserkers, and a tenacious WW2 Soviet aviatrix at his side. Together they must assault a Zagan base hidden on a prehistoric, dinosaur-infested planet. Between the Zagans’ guns and the dinosaurs’ jaws, their chances are slim . . . but is it still a suicide mission when, technically, they’re already dead? … “Doomsday Planet is part military thriller, part time-travel epic, and all-out action. Melds gallows humor, speculative madness, and cinematic pacing into a genre fusing space adventure. Beneath the chaos is a meditation on sacrifice, and the costs of playing god.” The Prairies Book Review

The Alpha Protocol:

A Sci-Fi LitRPG Adventure

(Symphony Book 1)


Finding himself suddenly teleported to a new dimension, a former English teacher becomes the god of a world of his own making, in this portal fantasy.

Fresh off a break-up and now unemployed, veteran and former high school English teacher Walker Reed is ready to succumb to a grim and hopeless depression. But when an enigmatic stranger stops him in the street, he’s suddenly hurled into another dimension.

There, Walker gets to build his own world from scratch following the Alpha Protocol, which invites special individuals from across the universe to become “Creators”—generating everything from their own land masses and celestial bodies to a comprehensive, recorded religion.

With the help of his robotic assistant, Virgil—who happens to be a four-foot-tall squirrel—Walker sets about building out his geography, evolutionary systems, and creatures. But it’s not like playing in a sandbox, and he quickly realizes his creations can have world-ending consequences. Not to mention the creators are regularly pitted against one another in the Creator Wars . . .

As if all that weren’t bad enough, if Walker can’t complete the Alpha Protocol, he’ll be sent back to his previous reality, which has only gotten darker. As he unlocks new systems and paths, can he balance his desire to be a peaceful, benevolent, and ethical god? Or will everything devolve into chaos?

The first volume of the hit LitRPG adventure series—with more than a million views on Royal Road—now available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook!

A Climax in Time

  Victorian Woman and Man Looking at Each Other



A Climax in Time


“What then is time? If no one asks me, I know: if I wish to explain it to one that asketh, I know not.” ~ St. Augustine of Hippo.

How would a modern woman cope if she were accidentally transported into the early 1900s, a time without modern conveniences, when women didn't even have the right to vote? And how would the Victorian era handle an intelligent, educated, assertive woman from the future?

Leanne Hermes, the wife of an eccentric billionaire scientist, was accidentally transported 99 years into the past by a device her husband made to capture the energy of the female orgasm.

Her distraught husband thought the worst, that his device had disintegrated his wife, until he came across journals his great-grandfather had explicitly saved for him. But that was only the tip of the iceberg. What he learns about his family tree and his family's company in his desperate quest to return Leanne shocks him to his core.

If you enjoy spicy novels about time travel with unexpected twists and turns, you’ll want to get your copy of A Climax in Time.

The Revenant's Mark

 Stern Looking Man on Greenish Blue back ground


The Revenant's Mark


A dark historical fantasy novel set during the American Revolution

Jacob Hawthorne was hanged as a traitor—forgotten by the cause he fought for, buried in a shallow grave by those he fought against. But death didn’t keep him. The forest brought him back.

Now bound to an ancient and wild power, Jacob walks again as a revenant—something more than man, less than myth. Haunted by visions and a mysterious mark burned beneath his ribs, he joins two rebel soldiers on a perilous journey through war-torn colonies and spirit-haunted woods.

As the Revolutionary War rages, a secret faction known as the Golden Circle seeks to harness the power of the forest spirits for their own ends—twisting the old magicks into a weapon neither crown nor colony can stop. Jacob must reckon with what he’s become, what he was brought back to do, and whether the soul of a dead man can still choose the right side.

Epic in scope and grounded in grit, The Revenant’s Mark blends dark Americana, supernatural horror, and historical fiction into a haunting tale of war, identity, and the ancient forces buried in the soil of a still-fighting land.

Perfect for fans of Robert McCammon’s Speaks the Nightbird, HBO’s The Revenant, and the eerie mythos of The Witch.
