Vorcalix
Word Count (4 November 2025): 1,736
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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

The past few weeks have been kinda crazy for me. And honestly, as I sit here typing this, I'm having a bit of difficulty picking out a few items to show you just how crazy it's been. Huh... I wonder if that's a symptom of the crazy. But I digress! I have been making...

11:45pm The post time on this will most likely say April 2nd, even though I'm starting it on April 1st. Does that matter in the grand scheme of things? No. Not one bit, but I thought I'd mention it just the same. Tempus is coming along very nicely. It kinda sat...

7:49pm A friend who uses my server contacted me to say that his site was down a few minutes ago. I didn't see how that could be and privately thought there was some user maintenance going on. However, when I checked my site (this site) to prove him wrong... well... I...

5:09pm I feel jazzed about what I've accomplished so far today. I booted up my gaming machine for the first time in who knows how long, and while I did see Steam updating in the background, I didn't care. Matter of fact, I think I even ignored a notification that the...

9:44pm I'm winding down as I type this. It will probably be the last major task I complete today. My sleep has been a little screwed up the past couple days, and I think that might be why I'm yawning quite a bit. It's been a productive day, though. I wrote 1,756 words...

7:27pm Well, this day didn't go quite according to plan. The original plan for the day involved driving to Clarksburg, but just as I was getting ready, the phone rung. Come to find out, the appointment in Clarksburg was cancelled. Which means that the whole reason I...
