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.

I have been having really good days for the most part. How do I define 'good' days? Why... I'm glad you asked. Lots of writing, of course! (I'm kinda surprised you didn't guess that, but I digress.) On July 12th, I finished Colfyr, the second story in my new Shepherd...

6 July 2024

3:33pm I have had a good day. I started the day writing, like I've done every day this week since Wednesday morning. But unlike the other days, I just wasn't feeling it. Don't get me wrong; I wanted to, but it just wasn't there. At least not yet. So, I put time into...

4 July 2024

1:19am Contrary to what you might think given the time, I am just now starting my day. I seem to write best from midnight to 8am, and this schedule also allows me to interface with the 'normal' world when needed. So... what's the craziest thing you've ever done? This...

29 June 2024

5:40am I should be writing one of my stories right now. I started a new accountability agreement with a writer friend who lives in Canada, and today's the first day. My original daily target was going to be four hours of writing time. I'm concerned that might be two...

28 June 2024

5:24am Yeah... that time is correct. I've been struggling with my sleep schedule lately, and I'm fighting my way through getting back to a semi-decent day/night schedule. I'd love to wake up somewhen around 11pm to 1am, as I feel that puts me in a perfect window of...

19 June 2024

One of my best friends sent me a link to a TikTok video while I was driving yesterday. When I finally got around to watching it, I wanted to disbelieve that anyone at Microsoft could be so damn stupid... but then, I remembered Windows ME and Windows Vista. So, par for...

16 May 2024

9:10am If you're looking back and forth between the time I wrote above and your watch or device's clock... don't strain your neck too much. I simply scheduled this post to "publish" at noon, instead of immediately. Why? Well, I'm also sending out a newsletter today...

4 May 2024

5:31am So, it's been a little while since I wrote one of these. I am--at the moment--1,984 words into my writing day. I don't know if I'll end up writing more, or if that will be my word count for the day. But! Those words all went toward completing Tempus. I'm...

19 April 2024

7:04pm Just a quick post to announce that audio for both The Shepherd & Hyperion are live on Knightsfall Press. They are also wending their way through the various processing queues at Audible, Kobo, and Findaway Voices (which is the distributor I use to reach...

17 April 2024

I just returned from a trip out to Idaho... and yes... I made my previous post from a hotel room as I drove out there. I went to Idaho for two reasons: (A) to see Shoshone Falls during the Spring thaw and (2) help my writer friend with a couple projects. I was...
