New Audiobook Release

Now Available on Audio!

 Over the years, Connor has pieced together evidence of a mysterious group of aliens who roamed the multiverse and have been to New Earth. 
     Setting off to make new discoveries about them is straightforward enough, but this is New Earth, and Connor Gates has a knack for finding trouble. 
     For over twenty years, Connor and Diaz have been friends. They’ve survived two wars and have seen the best and the worst of each other. When a terrorist attack takes the life of Diaz’s son, their friendship will be pushed to the breaking point.
     To find who is responsible, Diaz is willing to cross as many lines as it takes. Connor will do everything he can to protect his friend, even from himself. It’ll take everything he’s got to find who is responsible while preserving a peaceful coexistence with New Earth’s inhabitants. 
     Sometimes protecting your friends is a lot tougher than fighting your enemies.

New Audiobook and A Status Checkin

Last month Acheron Salvation was released. I spent the rest of April planning Book 12 in the First Colony series. I like how the story is shaping up. 

Acheron Salvation is now available as an Audiobook. Phil Thron continues to deliver an outstanding performance in narrating these books. I couldn’t be more pleased. You can listen to the sample via the link below.


Quinton Aldren thought he could leave his past behind him . . . He was wrong.

First came the development of a Personality Matrix Construct—PMC, transferring human consciousness into a machine. It changed the galaxy and the way wars were fought. Then something went wrong with PMCs and the Federation Wars toppled the galactic order. PMCs became a menace to be hunted and exterminated.

Quinton Aldren is a PMC. His consciousness was uploaded and stored over a century ago, before the Federation Wars. All Quinton wants is to leave his past behind, but the broadcasts keep occurring. More PMCs are coming online, and not all of them are entirely stable. Federation War machines are on the hunt for them, and they don’t care who gets in their way. 


What's Next?

I'm nearly finished with planning First Colony Book 12, and I expect to begin writing it next week. Book 12 will take place several years after the events that transpired in the previous book. I don’t have a title for the book yet. Soon. Assuming no major life challenges, I plan to have Book 12 available in Mid-July. The audiobook will be out a few months after that. I'm looking forward to writing it. We'll see some older characters return and some new ones. I think you'll enjoy it.

Future Books – I’ll begin working on the Book 3 in the Federation Chronicles in August. If you've read Acheron Salvation (Book 2) there were several big reveals that I'm eager to explore in the 3rd book.

As always, thank you for reading my work.

Two New Book Releases

This month I have both a new book release and an audiobook release.

Acheron Salvation – Federation Chronicles Book 2 is now available.

Quinton Aldren thought he could leave his past behind him . . . He was wrong.

First came the development of a Personality Matrix Construct—PMC, transferring human consciousness into a machine. It changed the galaxy and the way wars were fought. Then something went wrong with PMCs and the Federation Wars toppled the galactic order. PMCs became a menace to be hunted and exterminated.

Long after the Federation Wars, the galaxy limps on. Spacers carve out an existence upon the bones of the old worlds, but things are about to change . . . something has begun broadcasting signals to reactivate PMCs that were stored in secret.

Quinton Aldren is a PMC. His consciousness was uploaded and stored over a century ago, before the Federation Wars. All Quinton wants is to leave his past behind, but the broadcasts keep occurring. More PMCs are coming online, and not all of them are entirely stable. Federation War machines are on the hunt for them, and they don’t care who gets in their way.


Invasion First Colony Book 11 is now available as an Audiobook!

For years, Connor and others in the colony have unraveled the mysteries of New Earth and the global catastrophes that nearly destroyed its previous inhabitants. Their work led to the discovery of other worlds beyond the known universe.

It became clear that many of those worlds had been attacked by an interdimensional invader that left untold amounts of manipulation, hardship, and annihilation in its wake. It’s only a matter of time before the colony becomes the next target.

When a trusted ally requests Connor’s help to investigate claims of new widespread invasions, he has no choice but to help. Connor believes that the only way to stop the invader is to find their homeworld, but its location is a closely guarded secret. Many civilizations sought to discover the invader’s homeworld and none have succeeded.

Time is running out for the colony, and Connor and a team of CDF soldiers may be the only thing that stands between and annihilation.


As always, thank you for reading and listening to my work.
