Thunder Road

A storm can cover her tracks…or lead the wolves straight to her door.

With the help of his witch clan, Jake Wilcox is looking forward to a happy future with Addie Grant, the woman he’s falling for. There’s just one thing missing: Addie. Sometime in the night, she up and left. He can guess why — she’d sacrifice almost anything to avoid causing her newfound family any trouble. But the big question is, where did she go?

Addie dutifully went along with the Wilcox clan’s plan to protect her from Randall Lenz, the government operative bent on harnessing her weather magic for not-so-noble purposes. But in the back of her mind, a voice insists that as long as she stays in Arizona, the greater the danger to Jake and the Wilcox witch clan.

Heart breaking, Addie listens to her inner nomad and goes where the wind takes her — a place where no government, no witch, not even Jake can find her. But there are two factors working against her desire to remain hidden: her love for Jake…and the magic that, when danger flares like a wildfire, she has no choice but to unleash.

They Will Be Coming for Us

“A captivating science fiction series.”—BlueInk Review (starred review)

“A deftly written novel with a strong plot, an intriguing portrait of a wealthy family, and a phenomenal conflict. There couldn’t be a better opening for this series.”—The Book Commentary

“Fans of science fiction mixed with romance and mystery will enjoy this genre-crossing novel.”—BookLife Review

Book 1: They Will Be Coming for Us. In this gripping sci-fi drama, Svetlana Peterman has met her soul mate in Andrew Jovian, a young astronomer who works for Starbright International, the aerospace company his wealthy parents own. Once married, they make a home in Kirksberg, Pennsylvania, a small town famous for a UFO sighting that occurred in the 1960s. Svetlana is, for once, truly happy, except that Andrew’s family is strange, and not in a normal-strange kind of way.

Preoccupied with only two things—the night sky and carrying on their family lineage—the Jovians lack social skills and often pry into Svetlana’s personal life. Her intimidating mother-in-law demands she get busy fulfilling her reproductive duty to the family, and Andrew’s eccentric uncle seems to be able to read her mind.

Feeling bullied and wanting a career before motherhood, Svetlana takes precautions but ends up pregnant anyway. But that’s the least of her worries when she discovers the Jovians have a monumental secret that will change her fate (and that of her child’s) forever—a secret so powerful, it could alter the course of mankind.

They Will Be Coming for Us is a BlueInk Notable Book and a five-star Readers’ Favorite contest winner. It is the first book in The Jovian Universe series.

Seer Wars

“Back up. Down the ladder, sister.”
Her hands gripped the holes in the wall. “Am I a prisoner?”
Surprise flickered over his face, a bare ripple. River got the sense the surprise was real.
She also got the feeling people didn’t question him much.

River Cleopatra Jones just finished a movie shoot as a stuntwoman in Hollywood, when she’s abducted by surly, uncommunicative space pirate, Valek Targen. After scaring her, blowing a hole through the middle of her ex-boyfriend, and unceremoniously knocking her out, he informs River that her “real” family hired him to bring her back home.

River’s maybe not as surprised by the news as she should be. Plagued by strange dreams and psychic since childhood, she suffered through foster homes and adoption before finally being rescued by her friend, Malcolm, who trained her as a stuntwoman, and put her to work.

Now, as River struggles to adjust to an alien, overtly hostile and, at times, disturbingly familiar-feeling world, she fights constantly with her even more hostile and intractable guardian and captor, Valek, who harbors dark secrets of his own.

Author’s Note: This was written originally as a serial, and individual books end on cliffhangers as a result. I’ll be releasing parts of seasons within a few weeks of one another whenever possible to make this easier on readers, and also to keep the books at a reasonable length. Thanks!

Bridgers

Some worlds are better left alone.

Infinity Fowler has been fighting all her life. As a kid, she fought to survive. Then she fought professionally. When humans obtained the technology to bridge to alternate versions of Earth, she saw a chance for a new life. She signed up to become a bridger—an elite survival expert who protects tourists bridging to alternate worlds.

Desmond Weaver is making a last-ditch effort to complete his PhD in evolutionary biology. He has booked the excursion of a lifetime, a data-collecting mission to a vastly different version of Earth. If he fails, his career is over.

Infinity is Desmond’s assigned trainer and bridger. She’s one of the best, willing to die protecting tourists. She’s also willing to kill. When the time comes to bridge, Desmond and his two college roommates feel well prepared.

But they aren’t. Naked and weaponless, in an extraordinary world teeming with lethal predators, the team becomes entangled in a life-and-death struggle more terrifying than anything they could have imagined.
