Hello!

Thanks for visiting. Here, you’ll find all kinds of randomness from me, Rob Kerns, the human behind Author/Publisher Robert M. Kerns.

I’m going to go ahead and warn you up front. Anything you find on this site is the sole, 100%, personal opinion of me, the person. And I hope what you find here is of value or use to you.

You’re welcome to visit any time you like; after all, you never know what you might find.  😉

Some missions start with a firefight. Others begin with a message that changes everything.

When a private protection team finds themselves cornered and outnumbered, their last call for help gets picked up by Alex Hawke and his team. The message is bleak—cut off from support, no chance of evacuation.

Guardian and her crew have a new mission: prevent a desperate rescue from becoming a tragedy… or worse. And this is one fight Shepherd Security Services won’t back away from.

But just as the smoke clears, another order comes down the line—this one from the top. Alex is to report to Ninhar Navy Headquarters on Torvalin. Immediately.

For the first time, he’ll step into the beating heart of the Confederation’s power. And whatever awaits him there… wasn’t in the briefing.

Old loyalties. New politics. And a summons that could rewrite everything.
Torvalin is the turning point for Shepherd Security Services—a tale of duty, diplomacy, and the consequences of becoming a symbol.

11:20pm Before I get into the update on Cole & Srexx, I wanted to make an announcement regarding Colfyr. A reader informed me of a rather nasty continuity error in the final chapter of the story, and I have uploaded the new, corrected version. It could take a few...

9:08pm In the comment thread of Saturday's post (9 November 2024), Kevin asked a couple good questions that I feel require a more in-depth answer than a reply in the Comments thread. So, I decided to start today's post by answering those questions. To save you time,...

9 November 2024

11:46pm Given the time at which I'm typing this, the post's date when I finally finish and publish will probably be 10 November, but I imagine that's largely academic. Back in June, I attended my very first writing retreat. While there, I met someone I have added to...

10:32pm It has been a little while since I wrote a post here, but like my newsletter, I often only make a post (or send an email newsletter) when I have something that people who follow me may find interesting. If you pay any attention to the categories of my posts,...

6:33pm First off, Knightsfall Press's site is back up. It has been back up since somewhen around the 6pm hour yesterday (Eastern), but I did not circle back to make that announcement. Yay... right? Alrighty, then. Moving on! As the tags for this post show, I want to...

7:09am So, I was a day late in doing the PHP update I mentioned in my previous post. You may or may not have noticed by now that my publishing company's site (https://knightsfall.press) is currently non-functional. I do not think it's a server issue, as my site and...

15 August 2024

At the start of this week, I did something I've been wanting to do for several years now. From Sunday evening (August 11th) through Tuesday morning (August 13th), I was at Blackwater Falls State Park. I stayed in a Canyon View room, and TL/DR, it was a wonderful...

7 August 2024

11:05am It has been an interesting 48-ish hours. I published Tempus yesterday. It's my 16th novel and 21st title overall. I made a post on my author Facebook page (which I won't link here, because if you're reading this, I'd prefer you keep coming here for updates),...

8:36am July did not end like I would have preferred. Not at all. On Tuesday, July 23rd, I started feeling a tingling sensation in the vicinity of my left sinus cavity. Years ago, this would've heraled the onset of a sinus infection. Nowadays, it heralds the onset of...
