Listen to Fallen Earth on audio today!

Fallen Earth – First Colony Book 15 is now available in audio!

A new mission…

Years after the first interstellar colony ship departed from Earth, a contagion known as the Vemus spread across all mammalian life on the planet, giving rise to monstrosities that nearly wiped out all humanity.

Hundreds of years later, the interstellar colonists sent an expeditionary force back to Earth to help the survivors. Among the refugees were a cadre of human survivors who had adapted to resist the Vemus by becoming a hybrid of both.

Old war machines quarantined the Earth, preventing refugees from returning. Lieutenant Ethan Gates nearly died to save the colonial fleet sent to destroy the blockade. He survived by becoming a hybrid, and now they aren’t sure he could be trusted.

After months of being sidelined, Ethan finally returns to active duty, and makes an unexpected discovery…evidence hinting at the origins of the Vemus.

When detractors hinder unification efforts, causing treacherous divides among Earth’s refugees, a much larger threat looms in the shadows.

Fallen Earth is the 15th book in the bestselling military science fiction series First Colony. Don’t miss out on the next thrilling adventure for those who long to explore other worlds and glimpse a future with hope and hardships that challenge the characters to be more than what they were before.


Narrated by the talented Scott Aiello, who continues to deliver a masterful performance bringing these beloved characters to life.


As always, thank you for reading my books.

Until next time.

So where is the next book anyway?

It’s update time. I’m currently working on First Colony Book 16 and am halfway finished. I expect to finish the book by the end of the month. Then it will be about 3 to 4 weeks to go through editing and revisions before the book is released. 

Why is this book so late? 

I had back surgery at the end of the December and misjudged the amount of time it was going to take for recovery. That’s the long and short of it. I’m doing great now and continue to improve. Recovery took longer than I’d anticipated, and getting back in the chair to write was extremely uncomfortable. Not so much now, with time and a lot of Physical Therapy. I actually love PT. Before surgery, I had such a decrease in mobility that it was affecting everyday life. Now, I’m able to workout like I haven’t done for years. Between working out and actually being able to walk without pain, my health should continue to improve. 

The surgery I had was spinal fusion, lumbar laminectomy, and discectomy. I had severe compression in an old injury area in my lower back, which was causing intense sciatic pain. I’m paying the price for the dumb things I did in my 20s. 

So that has been what’s going on with me. The plan for 2024 is still the same. I plan to write three books in First Colony this year, and beyond that I’m not sure.

The audiobook version of Fallen Earth will be out in the next week or so. I’ve just heard from Scott Aiello that recording is completed and is going through the review process to get it ready for release.

Thank you so much for reading my books. I hope you're having a great year.
