Description:

Latin was a dead language—until the aliens arrived.

Out-of-work Latin teacher and borderline alcoholic Austin DeSantis is determined to spend his final days in the arms of a prostitute—that is if the aliens don’t exterminate humanity first.

But when the aliens land at the Vatican, begin speaking Latin, and reveal themselves to be Catholic, the world turns upside down.

Pressed into service as a translator and thrust into the center of humanity's first contact with a cryptic alien race, Austin must uncover their true intentions before religious turmoil rips the planet apart. But with Austin caught between the Catholic Church, the US military, and an enigmatic alien AI, he'll have to decide where his loyalties lie as the fate of humanity hangs in the balance.

PILGRIMS is a sci-fi retelling of Augustine's Confessions, mixing a high-concept premise à la Children of Time with the ceaseless pacing and rich characterization of Red Rising.

In 2057, New York is a divided metropolis. Sheltered by enormous seawalls, Manhattan is green, clean, and thriving, but Brooklyn and Queens have been given up to the storms and the rising Atlantic, their communities abandoned.

Lately, though, he has grown terrified of his choices, whatever he does a death knell for hundreds or thousands, so he is looking to change the system from within. Surviving on pep pills and connected to work via the Spine, a digital interface implanted in his body, Jake cannot afford to care for anyone, least of all the headstrong woman at his local coffeeshop who is keeping secrets from him.Shavir Tayard is a savvy barista who abides by the system during the day and fights for equal access to food and medical care as a member of Roots, a collective farm in Brooklyn whose members risk charges of ecoterrorism for their nocturnal animal liberation raids in the evacuation zone. The last thing Shavir needs in her life is a disillusioned Homeland Security guy, but when she takes Jake across the East River to the ravaged communities he was ordered to ignore, he discovers that the world may need something more urgent—and dangerous—than slow change.

Description:

In 2681, history threatens to repeat itself... with catastrophic consequences.

After two Wars of Independence, the Union and Colonies stand on the brink of their most devastating conflict yet. When the Union turns its imperial hunger toward Kliinat, a verdant alien world, the consequences reach far beyond human space.

Marine Captain Matt "Skip" Carson has spent his career trying to escape his father's towering legacy. For Captain Tomoe Mori of the strike carrier Galatea, the sight of a Union warship brings back the searing memory of her parents' death. When the Union violates galactic law by interfering with Kliinat, both officers find themselves on a collision course with destiny.

On the surface of Kliinat, resistance fighter Maalek never expected to find allies among the stars. As his people suffer under brutal military occupation, the arrival of Colonial forces offers a desperate chance at liberation. But beneath the veneer of tactical assaults and strategic alliances, a darker threat emerges—the Hasha, an advanced alien empire whose military might dwarfs anything humanity has encountered.

The Union's desperate bid to change the tides of war is about to unleash something far more terrifying than they ever anticipated. Now, the crew of the Strike Carrier CCV Galatea stands as the last line of defense against a threat that could destroy not just the great powers of settled space, but all of humanity itself.

Perfect for fans of Battlestar Galactica, Firefly, and military science fiction classics, this action-packed space opera combines pulse-pounding combat with the timeless tale of those who fight for freedom among the stars.

"PURE JOY. The most compelling time-travel adventure we've read since Stephen King's 11/22/63." -- Bella Wright, BestThrillers.com.

PAST IS PRESENT, a standalone thriller, is a heady mix of mystery, music, mirth, the missing--and melancholy. Not to mention time-travel with a twist, and how a single event can echo down the decades. Ready?

One quarter of the adult Western population believe they have had an out-of-body experience. Linda Mitchell, a young, Vietnam War widow living with her 3-year-old daughter in 1968, has an OBE while meditating. She "wakes" on a couch, wearing a T-shirt with an odd word (Reebok), and sees a local newspaper with today's date, October 8. The year? 1993. She repeats the meditative steps and "returns" home. Anxiety begets curiosity. Can consciousness travel through time, and briefly inhabit another body? The next night...

October 1993. Lately, Sally Mitchell, age 28, wakes each morning exhausted. Her clothes closet seems, well, whatever. Even her cat avoids her. Perhaps she's a sleepwalker. Must be stress: job, grad school, persistent ex-boyfriend, etc.

October 1993. Vintage rock deejay, "Jurassic Jim" Fleetwood, is heading in the wrong direction. As the world rolls forward to the 21st century, Jim is stuck in reverse, a connoisseur of the dusty past. One night he hears his friend, Sally, talk in her sleep---and the past darkens his life in an unforeseen way. He soon learns that her mother disappeared when Sally was three.

What began a quarter century ago is coming full circle.

Timeless advice for temporal travelers: discard your clocks and calendars. When the past is present...the present is past.
