The Scorched Earth...Revision Time!

Hello, fellow Vault Guardians!

I am very excited to announce that the readable edition of The Vault Guardian Book 2: The Scorched Earth is complete.

What does that mean?

It means that you, my wonderful fans, friends, family, and internet lurkers, can read the book early. What that really means: you can have an active role in the revision process. If you're interested in reading the manuscript prior to final revisions and edits then please let me know. I will accept any and all feedback. I want this book to be even better than the first. I simply cannot do that on my own. My view is tainted, no longer objective. I have spent too much time in the world of Ænæria and the Penteric Alliance.

Already forget what happened in Book 1? No problem, there are a few solutions. 1) re-read it! 2) If you don't have the time to do that, I have written a nifty summary of key events that I will share with you. 3) Not interested in editing but want to read Book 2 when it's complete? Well, I may or may not be looking into some bundle deals as well as getting better, professional editing on board. You could then read the new edition of Book 1 alongside the fresh release of Book 2.

Anyone who has helped with the books in the past and/or helps with book 2 will get free, signed copies. Heck, if you want a character named after you, I'm sure I could manage that ;)


If you are interested, please send me a message (Facebook, Twitter, email links below).

Book 3 Excerpt

After a near-sleepless night, he needed something to keep his eyes open. Coffee every morning hardly counted, and it was such an inefficient manner of keeping oneself awake. Gerald searched through the medicine cabinet. He swiped his finger across the screen, waiting for the display to load the available drugs. Looked like he still had enough credits to purchase a psychostimulant. Not one of those dangerous street varieties that would throw him into a homicidal rage. Thankfully, he and Deanna held good jobs. They had access to top-of-the-line medications without an appointment. In fact, he hadn’t seen a doctor in person in years now. He picked out a longer-acting drug that wouldn’t give him such a crash after. He still had to take care of Kyle. The glass screen slid open and dispensed a single sealed tablet. Gerald swallowed the pill with a sip of coffee and felt the weight of insomnia lift from his shoulders.  “…anniversary of the twentieth, and final, GeneHome mission to Mars,” the n

On Writing The King’s Gambit (Part 2)

(Source: https://www.belfercenter.org/sites/default/files/styles/medium_380_230_/public/images/event/montage-extreme-1.jpg?itok=aMTabGhg) If you read my book and have a keen eye (or read the afterword) you’ll probably notice that it’s based on a world ravaged by climate change. There are other factors that led to the post-apocalyptic setting, but I’d be spoiling it for you if I mentioned them. Though it’s not explicitly stated in the story, much of the environment in the story is in its current state due to the effects of environmental degradation. It’s hot out, plants don’t grow as well, mosquitos are everywhere, people need to cover their skin from the sun, there are lots of storms, and the color green is used—a lot. I knew from the very beginning that I wanted to make my world post-apocalyptic. To me, that’s nearly synonymous with climate change. So, in case you care or are interested, here are some of my thoughts on climate change based on some scientific evidence. I provi

The King is dead, long live the King. Following the death of Ænæria’s tyrannical King Xander, his seemingly unassuming subordinate, Randolph, has taken the crown for himself. Ben, the strange boy from Freztad, is blamed for the Xander’s death after chasing the late King in search of his cousin, Rose.
