They set out to kidnap a rich kid. They grabbed a princess instead.
Korvira, Crown Princess of Vorcalix, was enjoying a rare day among her people—until a moment of chaos ended in her disappearance. The crew meant to snatch a textile heir. But when one of them recognized Korvira, everything changed… and now they’re in way over their heads.
Because someone will come for her. And they should pray it isn’t him.
When word of the abduction arrives, there’s only one team the King trusts with his daughter’s life: Shepherd Security Services. Led by Alex Hawke, the crew must unravel the truth, outpace planetary politics, and find Korvira before the galaxy’s most dangerous rescue mission becomes a funeral.
Meanwhile, the long-awaited launch of the Magellan begins a search for something lost to a coffin ship’s fried datanet: Earth.
A kidnapped princess. A desperate mission. And a galaxy about to remember why you never cross the Shepherd.
Vorcalix delivers high-stakes action, layered intrigue, and the search for a former home.
15 October 2022 – the Q4 Challenge
Aside from making lunch, I realized that my to-do list for the day was complete. That's both a good and odd feeling, because there are still items on my to-do list. It's just that I can't do any of them on a weekend. Stuff like visit the bank or call the State...
13 October 2022 — More Thoughts
Good evening, everyone. I wasn't planning on writing another post today, not after my earlier update, but I received an email while I was unloading from a grocery run... that... well... I simply could not allow to disappear into the aether that is my 'contact' email...
13 October 2022
I think we can all agree it's been a while since I posted here. The short of it is that I was not expecting the transition from September to October to hit me like it did. Mom was born in October (as was her dad), and we were ten days into the month before I realized...
27 September 2022
I realized it had been a while since I wrote a post and decided it was time to fix that. 😁 September has been a busy month, and since I'm feeling a tad lazy at this precise moment, I'm going to start with a general update before getting into the finer details. On...
17 August 2022
Today has been a good day overall, I'd say. I completed the "final" read-through of Dawn of the Sorcerer. After that read-through, its 91,715 words became 91,538. However! I identified a handful of places where I need/want to add content to round out the story. I...
16 August 2022
Hello! I hope today has treated you well. It's been a very good day for me, the kind of day I would've shared with Mom. Because I finished my 11th novel today. That's right. Dawn of the Sorcerer is finished, and I'm now about half-way through my final read-through for...
15 August 2022 — Evening Update
Not much of an update tonight. I wrote a chapter today. That's roughly 50% of my goal. But I feel like it was a good chapter. It certainly was a fun chapter to write. I will easily finish Dawn of the Sorcerer this week, and then, I'll be free to concentrate on The...
15 August 2022 — Weekend Update
I'm starting this update at 5:04am on Monday, the 15th of August. I made specific mention of that, because I had another weekend project (specifically a Saturday project) that kicked my butt. But! I'm very pleased that it kicked my butt less than building the shelves...
23 July 2022
I probably should have checked my last post to make sure I'm not duplicating anything from there in what I was planning to write today. But I didn't, so I will offer my apologies in advance for any duplications that may appear. I had a good day today. We had a...
21 July 2022
Today was a bit of a slight challenge. I think pushing to replicate 7,862-word days right out of the gate--when I haven't been writing all that much--may not be the best idea. So I'm going to train up to it. Overall, it was a good day. I wrote 5,483 words in 3 hours...
