Buckle Up for a Wild Ride!

 

 


I am pleased to announce my new xenopunk thriller Disposable Heroes is Now Available at your favorite retailers!  Find it at the following: Amazon, Apple, B&N, Google Play, and Kobo.

 

Here's the synopsis:

Boomer is a pretty simple guy for an alien hybrid. He runs on booze, caffeine, and junk food. He works as a bullet-resistant tank for a crew of street-running mercenaries. If someone needs hurting or something needs blowing up, he’s the guy to do it. It might not be the most glam life in Arutairu Megacity, but it’s his, and he’s rather attached to it.

When Boomer's team takes on a shady job with the promise of a stellar payday, the proverbial excrement quickly meets the fan, and hit squads come after him and his crew. Normally, a few amateur goons with guns would just make for good target practice, but he suddenly finds himself unable to protect his friends. His rapidly expanding list of problems soon includes double-crosses, femme fatales, a hybrid assassin wielding alien weaponry, and an army of mercs gunning for him and his rapidly dwindling crew. As if that mess wasn’t enough to deal with, he fears he might be losing his sanity as he blunders into the middle of a conspiracy so vast it will shake the foundations of the entire city.

What’s a dumb grunt like him to do? Get some bigger guns and fight back, of course. And make some bastards rue the days they were born.

It's Payback Time!

 

NOW AVAILABLE on Amazon, Apple iBooks, B&N, Google Play, and Kobo!

Hey there, everybody. I hope this crappy 2020 isn't treating you all too badly. Good news is that it's almost over with! Anyhoo, I wanted to provide a Sneak Peak of Payback, the prequel novella to my upcoming xenopunk book, Disposable Heroes. Payback is a lean, mean bit of cyberpunk nastiness that will be released in early December, with Disposable Heroes following a few weeks after. The two can be read in either order; it's not necessary to read Payback first to enjoy the novel. Kudos to AgusSW for the badass cover art!!
 
Here's the synopsis:
 
When bad intel causes a mercenary operation to end in disaster, Nanami’s entire crew gets burned. She considers herself lucky to end up in a clinic after losing only an eye. Once discharged, she discovers that, in addition to her crew dying, her lover, who escaped the initial slaughter, has ended up equally deceased—murdered in her apartment under mysterious circumstances.

Nanami vows to track down those responsible. Upon learning the deaths were orchestrated by sinister figures from her own past, she is left with only one choice: kill those responsible before they catch up with her and try to return the favor.

 
 
And lo and behold I've even updated my Extras page with said Sneak Peek (I know it's been FOREVER since new stuff appeared in there). Head on over HERE to check it out - I hope you enjoy!

After Dakarai Creel thwarts an assassination attempt on a noblewoman who has fallen on hard times, he finds himself drawn into a deadly contest with an immortal tyrant that will end with only one of them walking away.

Update Mar. '20


Hey there, hope everyone is having a good 2020 so far!  I realized I haven't posted an update for a while, so thought now would be a good time to do so.

For those Extensis Vitae fans out there, I've got something in the works you might like: a new sci-fi novel, along with an accompanying novella!  The book will be what I like to call a Xenopunk adventure - think cyberpunk with alien hybrids running around who have more or less integrated into future society.  I'm hoping to get the pair published in Q4 of this year.  The novella, being a prequel, could come out a bit sooner, though I'll have to see how everything turns out.

But first, Nexus Tales: Rogues & Vagabonds will be arriving very soon, as in hopefully by the end of this very month!  The second volume in Nexus Tales features familiar faces from the Nexus of the Planes and Scions of Nexus trilogies.

This is probably overdue as well, but I thought I would post the recommended reading order for all things Nexus, since both volumes of Tales do contain spoilers.


The Twilight City

Doors of the Dark
Dawnbringer

Nexus Tales (optional - can also be read after Scions trilogy)

Scions of Nexus
The Way of Pain
Trial of the Thaumaturge

Nexus Tales: Rogues & Vagabonds


That's about all for now - stay tuned for updates.
