✨ From the Edge of Stars to the Heart of Stories | Spring 2025 Author Update

Hey folks,

It’s been a wild ride lately, and I figured it was time to pop my head up and share what I’ve been building in the shadows (and by shadows, I mean my writing cave, fortified with coffee and existential dread).

🚀 Book News:

Aurorae—the sequel to Odyssey One—is complete and moving through final edits. This book digs deep into what it means to evolve, not just as individuals, but as a species standing on the edge of first contact, AI sentience, and colonization in a universe that doesn’t care whether we’re ready.

Also:

• The Silent Core (formerly Singularity’s Edge) is getting its final polish. This post-Fall Earth epic explores how belief, memory, and broken tech can be repurposed into faith—or tyranny.
  
  

• And yes, Crucible of Shadows, book three of the Seana Byrne series, is officially in the works. It's darker, sharper, and about to push Seana further than ever before.
  
  

🛸 Convention Time:

I’ll be at SoonerCon this June! Panels, signings, maybe a reading or two (assuming I don’t chicken out). Come find me, say hi, and bring your questions about AI, writing, or whether space bears are real. (They’re not. Probably.)

💡 Why I Write:

Let’s talk about the “why” behind all of this.

In a world cracking at the edges—politically, technologically, morally—I write to explore what it means to be human. That messy, complicated term that includes love, rage, wonder, and the terrifying power of choice.

Through alien wars and post-Fall ruins, I’m chasing the same question:
What makes us worth saving?
If you’ve ever wondered the same, then my stories are for you.

📣 Call to Action:

No more Amazon exclusivity: Paperback versions of all of my currently released novels are avaliable on multiple online book stores. The eBook versions will be released from their exclusivity prison. They all should be free by the first part of August.

Preorder links are available for Aurorae and coming soon forThe Silent Core.

Thanks for sticking with me. Whether you've been here since The Shadow of Light or you're just climbing aboard the Odyssey One, I’m glad you're here. The future is weird, wild, and worth writing about—and I can’t wait to share it with you.
