Fiction

I've written dozens of short stories for my gaming books, ranging in size from a few dozen words to a couple thousand. I finished my first novel late in 2012. That novel is Armageddon Girl, the first book of the New OlympusSaga (described below).

Since then, I've also started a noir-horror series where unlikely heroes battle an upcoming Lovecraftian apocalypse. A short story in that setting, Bad Vibes, can be found here. The first novel, Shadowfall: Las Vegas, is available through Amazon. Sample chapters can be found here.

Strange New World

College student Christine Dark wasn't doing too well. Her social life sucked, she spent too much of her time playing computer games or reading sci-fi novels (and the occasional paranormal romance) and she felt like she was missing out on everything.

Fate had something special in store for her, though.

Without warning, an unknown force drags Christine out of her world and takes her to a whole new universe, an alternate Earth where superhuman beings have existed since the end of World War One and have irrevocably altered the course of history. Rescued by a faceless vigilante, Christine learns she too is more than human, and that her choices may save her new home... or bring about its destruction.

Doomsday Duet

In the sequel to Armageddon Girl, Christine Dark and Face-Off
must face their inner demons while they try to save Earth
Alpha, a world where supers are only too real and danger is
everywhere. Can a nerdy gamer chick granted cosmic powers
and a murderous vigilante deal with their differences - and
their growing attraction for one another - and escape the dark
forces hunting them?

Meanwhile, Ultimate the Invincible Man finds himself a
wanted criminal, persecuted by his former colleagues; we also follow the Lurker - Christine's mysterious father - and his enemies through the decades, while heroes and villains battle over the world's destiny.

Filled with action, adventure and romance, Doomsday Duet
continues to explore a bizarre world populated by superhuman
beings with all too human failings.

The dramatic conclusion to the New Olympus Saga is out for the Kindle. You can purchase it here. You can read the first four chapters here.
