Darkside Seattle

Decency, humanity, and humility don’t live on the Darkside. Seattle’s underbelly in a darker, grimmer future plays host to a collection of novellas, each exploring how people wind up in that forsaken hellhole, and what they’re willing to do to prove they belong.

Getting out? No one gets out. Not alive, anyway.

Available on Amazon and Kobo. Also available: Fixer and Mechanic.

Girls Can’t Be Knights

Fortunately, she has Justin to learn from. Brash and prone to dumb ideas, he can handle taking her under his wing. With the help of his sarcastic horse and saintly wife, he’ll teach her the finer points of the job. Add in a little luck and they both might survive long enough for her to learn it all.

Available on Amazon, Kobo, and elsewhere. This is a completed 5 book series the rest are also available in ebook, print, and audiobook.

Porcelain

Space opera meets portal fantasy in this young adult science fiction story about siblings. Emma Harper graduated from high school today, but she’s dealt with the loss of her brother, an MIA Marine, for two years. With their stern, remote parents, he was more like a father to her than a big brother.

When she falls through a wormhole, she’ll have to face her own worst enemy to survive: herself. But does she really want to survive?

First in a new series, this book can be found on Amazon and Kobo.

Dragons In Pieces

The first book of the Maze Beset trilogy, this novel introduces Bobby, a young man from the Atlanta area. His life isn’t awesome, but he’s okay with it. One thrown punch cascades into a series of events that culminate with him discovering he has a superpower. A weird superpower. Not only that, but he’s just one of thirty-five new superheroes. How did it happen? Why are there men in dark suits trying to grab them all? What good are hundreds of tiny robot dragons?

The Greatest Sin #1: The Fallen

The first in an open-ended series co-authored with Erik Kort (@ErikMKort on Twitter), The Fallen tells the tale of the main character, Chavali. She’s a fortune teller and a Seer, someone with the gift of prophecy and a growing talent with crafting illusions. Jaded and cynical, she’s never surprised by anyone…until she is.

Romantic fantasy blends with sword and sorcery adventure in a story of secrets, lies, family, and duty. It’s an origin story for a woman who doesn’t think it’s any of your business even as she’s rifling through your mind to learn all about yours.

Al-Kabar

Al-Kabar is a story about dealing with tragedy, shouldering burdens, and learning who you are. Fakhira is a simple woman with simple wants and needs. She expects her life to be the same as her older sister’s and the same as her mother’s. Though their marriages aren’t strictly by choice, they manage to make their relationships with their husbands work. They raise children. They laugh and cook and manage their men.

Except that’s not how Fakhira’s story goes. One fell night, the whims of powerful men strip her life to nothing. She survives the attack, but can she survive what the Fires and the Water demand of her? Can she rise above the pain of loss to find purpose, a calling, and justice, or will she sink into despair and seek only revenge?

Damsel In Distress

This standalone fantasy novel is about being pushed down and getting back up, about love and hope and learning who and what you really are.

Friends help. They always do. Heroes, on the other hand, aren’t always what they’re cracked up to be.
