Since then, I have realized the original cover, although beautiful, was too vague. I wanted something more specific that the fans who have already read it would love, and new readers would have a better idea of what kind of book they were stepping… Read More

This trip around the sun was a lot more exciting than most. On Resolutions: My New Year’s Resolution for 2024 was to “lose weight.” I didn’t set a strict goal on how much, but the closer I could get to 265, the better. I am happy to report that I stuck to that resolution, I went from 295 to 275lbs, and I am still slowly ticking away toward 265. Not only have… Read More

My whole life, I have always bounced between passion projects. My fire sways as I accomplish certain goals I want to achieve. Always, it has been to tell stories. When I was a kid, I’d draw little picture books and have my mom write the words for me. As I got older, I drew comic books for my third-grade class (as many know, one of these eventually became the Song of Kamaria.)… Read More

It’s 2024! WOW!It’s January 2nd, and it’s Science Fiction Day! As a sci-fi fantasy author, I feel like it’s a good opportunity to share some of my inspirations and discuss how they helped me with my stories. Sci-fi is my favorite genre. The wonder involved, and the tie back to reality make it mysterious and beautiful. I love how it can explore the real, current-day world through a lens of the future… Read More

Lance Buckley helped update the Down Below Beyond cover to reflect some of the positive buzz the book has gotten since it was released last July. The front doesn’t change too much, but I love the way he included the Kirkus Review! The back of the book received the most changes. It features a new description of the novel, with more of an introduction to Lodespace as well. Some of the positive… Read More

Down Below Beyond will launch in Ebook, Paperback, and Hardcover July 31st, 2023

Welcome to Lodespace! Long ago, a race of advanced aliens named the Voyalten linked the universe together via a network of portals. They never forced any world to partake in the web if they didn’t want to. Instead, they gave every world a choice—open their portal, shut it off, or make it a one-way stream. Voyalten portals are gigantic, big enough to fit multiple starships through. Many of these thresholds are planetside,… Read More
