Electric Angel - Landscape Cover Art
I'm going to start a new collection and fill it with the widescreen cover art from my officially released novels. Sorry for a bit of spam, but I want each one to have its own entry.

Here's today's edition - hot off the presses! Enjoy :)

Juliet sat on the tailgate of the rover, smiling as the sweat on her arms and neck dried in the breeze. The same breeze made the tall flowers dance along the mountain's slopes, and she watched them, admiring how the petals shimmered as they shifted in the light. It...

Hey everyone! Loved to see the discussion and comments after Arona's battle! Enjoying the predictions - some of you people are too clever by far, lol. Anyway, enjoy today's chapter - See my note at the end (trying to avoid spoiling anything.)

Hi all! As you know, I have to remove chapters from RR prior to the release on Kindle and Audible. I want my supporters to be able to find those chapters here, though, before they go live on the paid sites. Here's Jovian Reverie in its (unedited) glory.
Thanks for all of your support!

Cyber Dreams 6.39 - Doubts and Reassurances
Yay! Cyber Dreams is back on the menu! Enjoy today's chapter. Obviously, I have a destination in mind for this story, but there are lots of little things to reveal and explore along the way. I know this is going to be a long book, but I don't want it to be TOO long - sometimes, I need to leave some things kind of open to interpretation and expect the reader to believe things are goi...

Last time, we read about Arcus and his battle with a Big One. Now it's Arona's turn. Enjoy :)

Ronkerz’s voice roared out, vibrating the stone under Victor’s feet. “Which Big One shall we choose to face this disciple of death, Rumble Town? I’ll give you a choice! Will it be Zara Bloodmoon, daughter of Rex Hangar...

Victor lay awake for most of the night after he and the others decided to get some rest. He wasn’t worried about being on top of his game or feeling groggy; he hardly needed sleep since his body had evolved to the “epic”...

It wasn’t until much later when everyone was settling into their bunks and getting a little rest, that Juliet managed to corner Aya alone in her quarters. She’d lured her there wi...

Ronkerz turned to face the three of them, and that’s when the nature of their situation became clear to everyone, not just Victor—the giant simian had no intention of bargaining, at least not with words. To drive the point home, a line of hulking, armored figures filed out of the center-most c...

Juliet wasn’t sure why, but she felt nervous. She stood near the center of the medical ship’s lower deck, at the top of an access ramp leading to the ship’s boarding collar. The Cybergen medical ship and the Takamoto gunship had at least that in common: they were both built with the ability to ...

“They don’t seem threatening nor particularly dangerous.” Arcus was staring at the two men guarding the “gatehouse” of the town as he spoke, and Victor had to agree with him. One of the men was sitting on his butt, leaning back against the rough-stone wall while i...

Enjoy today's chapter. Well, the last chapter got some mixed reviews - maybe this one will too. I know you aren't all on Discord, so you may not be aware, but this is going to be a long volume - 60-ish chapters if my outline holds up. So, I'm hoping some of the angst I heard from you all after last week's chapter was maybe because you thought that was the climax, but we're sti...

“Well?” Lam asked, wiping the toad blood from her cobalt-blue hammer head with a well-soiled rag. They’d all just recovered from their Energy infusions after the “boss” toad battle, and she wanted to know if Darren had hit level te...

Hi all - Normally, I take a week off when finishing a book, but I have something coming up at the end of this month and decided to do it early - I don't think either Victor 8 or Cyber Dreams 6 will be done yet.
Anyway, I'm going to have a lot of family in town, almost like a mini-reunion, and I know it's going to be hard to get my daily writing in. That said, I'm going to take a week off...

Several times, as she ran, Juliet paused and peered with her other vision, keeping track of the strange, wrong mind as she drew ever closer. Each time, she pointed, and Angel refined her destination. By the time her countdown timer reached nine minutes, Angel pinned down...

Arcus locked eyes with Victor and nodded. “Agreed. Let us evaluate the rest of this treasure before settling the matter of the orb.”
“Of course.” Arona took a step back and gestured at the big, iron-bound chest. “This orb is part of a treasure, likely gen...

At Angel’s reminder, Juliet was struck by a wave of guilt and whirled away from Montclair’s corpse. What had the madman been trying to achieve? Had he been so sure of himself that he thought he coul...

Victor looked up the scree-covered slope to the dark cave entrance. It opened into the side of the hill, some hundred yards from where he and the others stood, watching one of Arona’s skeletons, the one with the long, hook-clawed arms, scrabble upward. They...

Arona wasn’t exactly what Victor would consider a socially adept person, but after he’d basically told her he didn’t trust her, she became decidedly standoffish. She brooded by herself on the northern edge of the clearing with her five skeletal servants standing wat...

Victor sat on a large stone block and, groaning and cursing, worked to dig the arrow shaft out of his armpit. A dozen bloody, broken bolts and arrows already lay at his feet. He’d finally run out of enemies to kill—they’d kept coming in twos and threes out of the ruins, seek...
