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.

I have never made any secret of the fact that I generally love where I live. By and large. For the most part. Every place has its benefits and shortfalls, and my place is no exception. Benefit: I am surrounded by trees and hills. My nearest neighbor is a solid three-...

Goals and challenges... I've made no secret of the fact that I have struggled to write the first six months of this year. And I honestly doubt anyone who has followed my posts lately fails to understand why. But writing is important to me. No... not just writing....
18 July 2022
Another good day... I feel like I accomplished a lot Monday, as I started writing this at 12:40am on Tuesday. I wrote 3,704 words, but more than that, three friends (who are also neighbors and two of them family) helped me put the mounting post for Starlink in place....
14 July 2022
Today has been a good day, andI'd have to say it was a productive as well. I suppose it's possible that it was such a good day precisely because it was productive. I suppose one could also make the counter-arguement that it was a productive day because it was a good...
My First Author Interview
Once upon a time... I mentioned that I did my first author interview with Audiobook Guild, the company that licensed the audio rights to my Primogenitor Saga. I don't remember exactly when I mentioned this, but I'm sure I also promised to provide links once I had...
13 July 2022
It has been a good day. I paid my first bill with Starlink. That felt good. Canceling my previous internet provider felt even better. But the best part of my day happened between 8:45pm and 10:31pm. I wrote 1,812 words on a new project. I'm not sure when I'll publish...
9 July 2022
Well... Today was the best day I've had yet. It's been a bit of a rainy day, which I tend to love. I prefer window-rattling storms, but the ground is so saturated that we'd probably have a flash flood if we had a storm like that. The past couple days, I've been trying...
8 July 2022
The day is still young, but I thought I'd go ahead and put something up here. I may circle back and update it later... or... I may not. I guess it really depends on whether something in the quiet recesses of my mind decides that I need to circle back and update it. I...
7 July 2022
One of my goal in the second half of this year is to do a better job of posting to my site. We're seven days into July, and I think this is the first post since I announced that I lost Mom. Best laid plans... right? Well, I have a couple projects coming up that I want...
A Good Day
The other day, I did my first author interview. It was with Robert Esparza of Audiobook Guild--the licensor for the Primogenitor Saga audio--and yes, I will provide links to everyone as soon as I have them to provide. But... During the pre- and post-conversation,...
