Works In Progress

Crystal Empire

Demara’s world is destroyed every year. Her people have been pushed past the far side of nowhere and to the edge of extinction. In this world, it is only the crystals that keep a tribe safe through the Turnings. Can Demara learn the secrets of the stones at the heart of that yearly apocalypse and save her people, and the world, from their fate? Is she ready for how far that journey will take her?

Limbo

Been quiet here lately.

Not for lack of love, life just got busy in the New Year. Lot’s of changes happening professionally that have, unfortunately, slowed down progress on some of my writing projects. Mostly good things, but change is often painful while its happening.

I’ve recently been submitting short stories to literary magazines again. I’ll be incredibly excited to share the news of any success if or when that finally happens. There are a few other things in the works, hopefully some good fiction for y’all to enjoy soon!

Pathways of Constellara Teaser

Hello out there my weary Way-walkers!

If this message has made it to your eyes, ears, tongue or any other sensuous sensory input that tickles your brainstem, find yourself some place to settle in a little while, we’ve got good things coming your way. Thank you for tuning in Constellara, you’re here with Pathwadio.

Come with us for a stroll through the university gardens of Astrent to set the mood. Then we’ll head on over to Ginvaris for dinner at Zarani’s, the sauteed bo-ash nuts are out of that world. Next we dance with the train across Bera. We’ll hit a DUFC-ees on our way out to the edge, try not to lose your head. And don’t worry, before the night is through we’ll catch ourselves a ride back to Astrent with a Star Sage.

Episode I: The Starchasers and the Santum of Ktheron

WARNING: Hostile meteorlogical conditions detected. Recommend exiting atomosphere until storm-

The Starchasers are a down-on-their luck, rag tag group of alien misfits just trying to make it in this crazy galaxy they call home. Led by Captain Goose, they’re sassy, they’re scrappy, and they’re broke.

The full text of Starchasers and the Sactum of Ktheron is available on the Constellara website.


The gas giant Tasiliset VII should have loomed in the sky of its sixth moon, but the air was thick with yellow dust and ash, shrouding them in twilight. The Bronco bucked at an errant gust from the roiling, whirling storm, and Captain Goose tightened his grip on the bridge console. The indicators that read “engine” flashed red for a moment before returning to their dead gray. He decided to count that as a victory, nothing else about this landing was going right.

Imperial Heart

the crystal empire

Mal, exile, wanderer sage, godkiller, was being strapped inside a canvas body bag in the back of a stolen ambulance, his life pouring from his lips while he held the last words of a dead man in his hands.

Five years ago, Malcon the Warrior was betrayed, blamed for the God Emperor’s death, and forced to flee into exile beyond the Empire’s great crystalline Wall and the protection it offers from the yearly Turnings which wreck the world outside. Now, with the help of unexpected allies from beyond the Wall, Mal has returned to put an end to the heinous scheme that seeks to sieze power from the God Emperors and corrupt the very purpose of the Empire.
