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.

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…

8:58pm Finally finished Chapter 22 of Tempus. It took me a little over a thousand words to get to feel complete. I’ll dig into Chapter 23 tomorrow. I had to do some driving around today, or I would’ve gotten an earlier start on the writing and might have even moved…

9:59pm I have not been as productive the past two days as I would like… at least in terms of writing. Yesterday (Wednesday the 21st), I drove Dad to a doctor appointment. I wrote 935 words Chapter 22 of Tempus while I waited for him. Today (Thursday the 22nd), I…

8:03pm It’s a good thing I decided to update my 2024 Writing Goal to a “best effort” setting. Leaving aside how fatigued with writing I was after I finished Hyperion last month, I lost yesterday to the First Day of Driving. I racked up something like two hundred or…

8:35pm Hello, and good evening! Well, it’s evening here in West Virginia as I write this. I can’t guarantee it’s evening where you are. 🙂 It’s been a while since I’ve posted an update here, and that’s mainly because I didn’t really have anything post-worthy to…

12:16pm Hi! It’s been a while. When I finished Hyperion back on January 6th, I was all jazzed to keep right on writing… and I managed that for a couple days. Then, I started missing days. And eventually, I realized that I just wasn’t eager to write. That I felt…
