Book Writing Update 5/22/2017
My current progress on multiple manuscripts:
Agent G: Saboteur (Agent G 2#): Complete and submitted to Amber Cove publishing. Jeffrey Kafer will be doing the audiobook. Cover complete.
Lucifer’s Nebula (Lucifer’s Star 2#): 41,000 Words (90K estimate for completed manuscript). Cover complete. Eric Burns will be doing the audiobook.
100′ Miles and Vamping (Straight Outta Fangton 2#): 51,000 Words (65K estimate for completed manuscript). Cover complete.
The Kingdom of Supervillainy (Supervillainy Saga 5#): 11,900 Words (65K estimate for completed manuscript). No cover.
The Tree of Azathoth (Cthulhu Armageddon 3#): 17,000 Words (90K estimated word count at completion). This is a low priority at present because I want this one to be perfect but it is still in the works.
Wraith Lord (Wraith Knight 2#): Completed and submitted to Crossroad Press but held up by *grumble grumble* issues. No cover.
Eldritch Ops. (Red Room 2#): Completed and ready for submission to Amber Cove but held up by *grumble grumble issues* Cover complete.
I have a few other irons in the fire as well with a YA sci-fi novel and a upcoming Lit-RPG space opera.

Lucifer’s Star now available on audiobook!
Hey folks,
I’m tremendously pleased to announce the release of LUCIFER’S STAR, my dark space opera, on audiobook. Eric Burns (The Dragon Circle Trilogy) has done an amazing job bringing my story to life and I hope you’ll check it out. I’ve heard the book described as an “R-rated Star Wars” and “what happens when the TIE pilots and stormtroopers find out they’re the bad guys.” For me, it’s a deconstruction of the more romanticized view of war and its consequences in many military sci-fi stories while keeping all the pew-pew as well as romance.
Cassius Mass was the greatest star pilot of the Crius Archduchy. He fought fiercely for his cause, only to watch his nation fall to the Interstellar Commonwealth. It was only after that he realized the side he’d been fighting for was the wrong one. Now a semi-functional navigator on an interstellar freight hauler, he tries to hide who he was and escape his past. Unfortunately, some things refuse to stay buried and he ends up conscripted by the very people who destroyed his homeland.
LUCIFER’S STAR is the first novel of the Lucifer’s Star series, a dark science fiction space opera set in a world of aliens, war, politics, and slavery.
‘Populating a universe is hard’ essay
An essay by me about populating universes with quirky memorable characters on the Beauty in Ruins website. I think people looking to add a little spice to their world-building will find this a little bit useful.

The cover art for Lucifer’s Nebula revealed!
Alex Raspad has done an amazing job here and really brought to home Isla and Cassius in action. LUCIFER’S NEBULA is still being written but I’m hoping we can release it in Kindle and paperback form by the Winter of 2017.
