Acropolis 3000 Series
Acropolis 3000: Genesis ​
​
Trinity Academy is the only school in the city-state of Acropolis to accept three classifications of humans as students—the elite C-1s born of natural birth, C-2 replicons grown in tanks, and C-3 clones. Students attend four terms to prepare for a lifelong service in the Acropolis Army-AirCorps. In the Frontier live REMs, registered mutants created by the nuclear fallout after WWIII, and it's the AAA's job to protect and serve until death.
For Demetri, a shy and awkward C-2, the academy offers the only opportunity to hone her fighting skills and learn proper social behaviors within a competitive environment where "pain is the best teacher." However, Demetri soon discovers something is wrong with her and her fellow replicons. Designed to be passive, celibate intellectuals, she and her classmates display a strange feral appetite for violence and intimacy.
When students start to disappear overnight mysteriously, Demetri sets out to discover the truth about her creation and the world, placing her siblings and friends in jeopardy, for those who question authority do not live long.
Acropolis 3000: Chronicles​
​
Ambrose, the most powerful man in the Acropolis Army-AirCorps, Director of Tactical Affairs and Military Operations, wants Demetri and her siblings dead. Sent to the Beta-Quadrant by Master Mercator, the Trinity Hybrids are assigned as soldiers to General Hadrian Craigg. Demetri and Baron assume the identities of a senator’s missing children—Lieutenants Skylar and Seth Powell. Pretending to be members of the elite C-1 class proves a challenge, as fighting duels is the only way to defend one’s honor at Outpost 2, and many have targeted Demetri. However, duels are the least of her problems.
Demetri and her siblings soon learn that a hybrid enemy agent is hiding out at Outpost 2, but it’s the strange blue lights in the sky and unexplained deaths of fort guards that put the stronghold on high alert. Demetri discovers there are more than mutated animals and plants that live beyond the high walls. Another intelligent species with superior technology has emerged from the fallout of WWIII. The Trinity Hybrids, now called Echo Platoon, are sent to discover who they are and what they want, but few who enter the jungles of Beta-Q ever return.
Acropolis 3000: Revelations​
​
Demetri, now in command of the Echo Task Force, which is comprised of replicons, risks all to save Earth from its greatest threat—humans. When Dictator Thorndyke and Ambrose replace the High Command and Council in Acropolis, anyone who opposes them is arrested or murdered, and any replicons associated with Demetri are targeted.
Discovering a city of reptiloids in the Beta Quadrant might be Demetri’s only chance to gain an ally as civil war threatens Acropolis. The reptiloids, called Saurians, are Annunaki worshipers who believe the Sky Gods produced both humans and reptiloids long ago. However, the artificial intelligence named SIMON, which controls all technology in Acropolis and every AAA base worldwide, is compromised. It commands the ONE, androids that fly in cubes and have only one order to follow—destroy all Sapiens and Saurians.
As Demetri attempts to reveal Chancellor Ambrose’s ambitious plans to rule the world, she and her task force must enter the NEST to destroy SIMON. But does Ambrose or something else control the AI? Demetri aims to find answers. However, what awaits in the NEST is far worse than she ever imagined.

In his company, Natalie rediscovers her independence and love for painting while exploring the castles and Roman ruins of the countryside, where she soon surrenders to the Old World charm of William. However, they soon find themselves on the front lines of a battle between his son, Leslie, and their eccentric families, in this zany, romantic romp through England.
The Lady of Shadows
The Lady of Shadows​
​
Lady Helen Fulbright suffers from partial amnesia, with no memory of her seventeenth year nor the terrible events of the night a fire consumed her family home in Dover. Left alone to raise her infant sister, Clara, Helen married Colonel Lord Alexander Fulbright and moved to London, but ghosts followed her from the family crypt with the message of, “remember.”
Widowed a few months after her husband departs with his regiment, the 11th Hussars, the hauntings occur with frequency in daylight hours. Helen’s young sister, Clara, often speaks to their dead brother, Andrew, and servants see phantoms in the hallways and hear something scratching in the attic. When an outbreak of rabies spreads through London, leaving the medical community and Scotland Yard baffled—for the infected attack without mercy and feed on their prey—Helen suspects foul play when her own servants fall ill.
Helen turns to Doctor Peter Cummings for help, a man who she feels is connected to her past. Romance blossoms between the two as the undead attack London each night, but unlocking Helen’s memory to the past comes with fatal consequences. Abramelin, a necromancer, employs the arcane arts of the ancient Egyptians to seize control of London and of Helen. But who is Abramelin? Why has this man taken an interest in Helen, the woman known as the “Mad Lady of Fulbright Manor?” And can Lady Fulbright “remember” before her family, friends, and home becomes consumed by the terrors of the night?
The Realm of Magic Series
SEEKER OF MAGIC
​
​
Orphaned as a child, Taliesin was adopted by the Ravens, a clan that makes its living searching battlefields for valuables. Although she yearns to leave the scavenging lifestyle behind, she is good at it and has a knack for finding treasure amongst the fallen.
Civil war is brewing, though, and leaders both good and evil are searching for the magic weapons they need to help their forces achieve victory. The most powerful of these ancient blades is Ringerike, a sword that is said to be both a king-maker and a king-killer; it is a weapon so beautiful that people are transfixed by just the sight of it.
If Taliesin can find Ringerike, she can free herself from her life as a scavenger and save her Clan from the sinister forces out to destroy it. But not all is as it seems, and friends are not always friends; she will have to choose her allies wisely if she is to survive, much less find the sword that could be her salvation.
MISTRESS OF MAGIC
​​
Separated from her small Raven Clan, Taliesin has to set out on a quest to discover her heritage. Aided by her Raven Sword and Deceiver’s Map, Taliesin must journey through a landscape fraught with dragons, Wolfen, and the Hellirin—darkling fairies who live beneath the ground—in order to reach Duvalen, the magical Lorian city of the fairies. War has come to Caledonia, however, and several of the gods desire Taliesin’s aid in winning the war for their side. It’s brother against brother, and Taliesin must learn to control her magic if she is going to control her destiny.
The gods of Mt. Helos are in league with the Wolf and Eagle Clans, and Ragnal, the God of War, appears ever closer to bringing about the Age of the Wolf, destroying not only Caladonia, but the Magic Realms as well. One mistake and Taliesin could find herself a prisoner of any of the warring factions…or dead. Can a natural born witch, aided by a powerful sword, succeed in ending the war, or will she be consumed by the dark magic and her own inner-beast and bring about the Age of the Wolf?
QUEEN OF MAGIC
​
​
Taliesin, the Raven Mistress, has been captured by Prince Sertorius, and she is being taken to the capital, along with Sertorius’ army of Garridan soldiers. Sertorius’ intentions are unclear—does he go to aid his father, King Frederick, who is besieged by the Wolf Prince and a rebel army, or for some other, darker motive? While the Raven Clan grows, tucked away in Penkill Castle, Taliesin escapes, only to receive a message that King Frederick needs her help. While she wants to help the king, Ragnal, the God of War, has other ideas. Arriving at last at the capital, Taliesin learns the Royal Court of Caladonia is far more corrupt than expected, dabbling in political intrigue, dark magic, and murder. Will Taliesin be able to convince the Magic Realms to help her defeat the Wolf Prince and Ragnal, or will the kingdom fall to the war god and the Wolfen? Unless Taliesin and her magical sword, Ringerike, can defeat her many enemies and forge an alliance with the High Council, the barbarians of Skarda, the darklings, and a dragon named Bonaparte, she may spend the rest of her days on a leash. But she is a sha-tar, a natural-born witch, and it is her destiny to do the impossible, and prove to all that she is—the Queen of Magic
The Realm of Magic: The Swords of Draconus
The Swords of Draconus: The Winter Prince
LEGEND says that ‘every child born of a dragon and a human is judged at birth by the Gods. If the child is born out of love, they will inherit magical powers, intelligence, physical strength, and beauty. But if the child is born out of hate, a monster of unspeakable mystic abilities and a lust for power will be born.’
In the prequel to ‘The Realm of Magic – Seeker’ trilogy, set one thousand years earlier, Winter Prince Tarquin Draconus of the Winterlands, the youngest son of King Tancred III, is responsible for defending the northern province. Since birth, Tarquin has been immune to magic and has a strange ability to render any mage or enchanted weapon powerless, causing people to believe he is ‘cursed.’
With the arrival of the Harvinder Comet, darklings crawl out of their lairs, drawn above to kill and feed on humans. Nobles and knights go missing and return to their homes changed. An ancient evil has cast its shadow on the Kingdom of Arkadia, and King Tancred III is too old and feeble to defend his realm. His other three children uphold the Autumnlands, Stormlands, and Summerlands but refuse to believe the stories until a black dragon is spotted in the Parnak Mountains.
Drawn by tales of the Drakons of Thrill—an ancient race of shapeshifting dragons—and a mighty weapon called the ‘Soul Sword’ that only a sha’tar can use to restore the balance between good and evil, Prince Tarquin sets out with the Winter Army to learn the truth and soon discovers some legends are REAL.
The Swords of Draconus: The Red Knight
‘Woe to the House of Draconus for the blood they spilled. One day, the house will fall.’
PRINCE Tarquin Draconus sets out with his Moon Knights and the wizard Dru-Mak to locate his twin sister, a sha’tar, and the last two Amulets of Amalthea. All three amulets and the sha’tar are needed to release the immense power of the magical Gryfwd, a blade created by the ancient Drakons to restore the balance between good and evil.
Tarquin and his twin sister are the prophesized Dualta, born a thousand years earlier and brought to the future to slay the God of Chaos, Rabin Dranath. Rabin has murdered all but two members of the Royal House of Draconus: Sylvia, the Princess of the Summerlands, and Tanis, the young daughter of Tarquin’s brother, the late King Thorston. But darkling shapeshifters are replacing everyone in positions of power throughout the land.
Rabin Dranath now controls the kingdom of Arkadia. An undead boy prince sits on the throne, and a bounty lies on Tarquin’s head. With brigands, bounty hunters, dark gods, and a vengeful black dragon hunting for him, every step Tarquin takes will either lead him to victory or annihilation.
Dead Hearts Series
MORBID HEARTS
​
​
Cadence Sinclair was a seventeen year old girl from America’s heartland who loved horseback riding, a comfortable pair of jeans, and hanging out with her friends. That was before the Scourge. It’s been eleven months since a deadly virus wiped out billions. For the few who remain, life as they knew it is over. Nations fell, governments were rendered obsolete, and resources became scarce. The human race had to start over, facing even greater odds . . . Zombies.
Now, Cadence leads safety patrols and supply missions for a survivor’s camp at Pike’s Peak. When a routine mission goes south, Cadence gets more than she bargained for. She must lead a ragtag group of teens against an onslaught of scavengers, zombies, power-hungry military leaders . . . and a mutating virus. Her team, the Fighting Tigers, face increasing dangers threatening the stability of the camp. An uprising in their fragile, new home may bring further devastation, but what they discover lurking beyond their security fences could be the end of the human race.
FORSAKEN HEARTS
​
​
Forsaken Hearts, the second book in the Dead Hearts series, picks up where Morbid Hearts left off-- a few weeks after the pivotal battle at Pike's Peak.
Makeshift settlements under the authority of the Freedom Army provide refuge for the survivors of the worldwide "Scourge" that has destroyed all known civilization, turning most of the human population into zombies.
Quasi-military teen patrols have been assembled to guard the camps' perimeters from scavengers and those infected with the ever-mutating H1N1z virus.
Cadence and her Fighting Tigers, one of the top teen patrols, are working to maintain the fragile peace at the survivors encampment at Seven Falls, but tensions are rising.
Dissent within the ranks splits the camp into factions, which is only in the best interest of the new vampire menace that has emerged in Colorado Springs.
VENGEFUL HEARTS
​
​
Exiled from Highbrow’s camp, Cadence and her Earth Corps take control of NORAD and prepare to fight back against the Kaiser and his elite Shadowguard. Darkness looms as both camps face isolation, internal strife, and a shadow of evil that haunts their every move. There is no rest for the wicked as the Kaiser seeks the eradication of anyone who stands against his march toward global dominion. Ancient monoliths, time travel, and a newly awakened race of demons present unprecedented obstacles as the disparate forces join together to hold back a tide of evil that threatens to consume the remaining thread of humanity. Join your favorite characters as they continue their fight for survival, and the survival of the human race in the story has been called, “…a new twist on the supernatural scene.”
DEFIANT HEARTS
​
​
As the battle between the Earth Corps and the Shadowguards comes to a costly end, Dragon and his team continue searching for survivors and the missing members of their team. What they discover will challenge the very core of their existence and will alter the course of the war dramatically. It's a war the survivors thought they had won. They thought it was over. Cadence knows, however, that is has only just begun. The rifts created by time travel and the activation of the Babylonian Stones not only stirred two warring races of demons, but also woke the old golds and brought a new global enemy to power – one that has been waiting for hundreds of years for this very moment. Ever-mutating strains of the virus threaten human existence as the world stands at the brink of domination by power-hungry ancient gods. In a war for the soul of the universe, ancient gods rage against demons, magic and science collide, and every living being must face a new species of monster...one that is more devastating and powerful than anything history has ever produced. In order to survive, humanity must stand united…and defiant.
IMMORTAL HEARTS
​
​
Separated from the Earth Corps, Cadence has arrived at the magical island of Antillia, where Poseidon has gathered the Pantheon of Light. Although these ancient gods want to save the human race, Odin and Aries have brought together the Dark Pantheon, an assembly of the most evil ancient immortals, and they are using the Babylonian Stones to outflank the forces of good. Their victory seems almost a foregone conclusion. But a sliver of hope remains. Ancient armies await the call to battle, needing only a summons by their former commanders, and other allies are available…if they can be rescued from Hades’ hellish domain. The Earth Corps members must go to the far corners of the world, and beyond, if they are to acquire the aid they need. Time is running out, though, for the enemy is on the move, and the Blood Syndicate and NATO forces will soon be overwhelmed. War is spreading across the planet, and the Earth Corps must race to bring their forces to bear before the human race is wiped out. Once again, the team is divided, outmatched, and overwhelmed as it fights its ultimate battles in the streets of London and Rome. Can the new gods defeat the old gods and save the human race? Or has the human race finally seen its end?

With the Earth Corps’ defeat of Odin and Aries, the Blood Syndicate, led by Chancellor Logan, assumes the task of rebuilding international cities.

Meanwhile, Agent Parish and the Blood Knights, now employed as Syndicate time travel agents, use the Babylonian Stones to travel to the past to retrieve influential historical figures.

LOGAN'S JOURNAL
Companion to the 'Bloodlines Trilogy.'
For seven hundred years, Logan Bennet was a prisoner of the ancient Greek god, Hades. Things can get complicated when time travel is involved, and an ancient Axon demon terrorizes the modern world by creating a zombie apocalypse. The powerful Earth Corps team members and human survivors in Colorado Springs believed Logan died in a battle fought against Lord Darkmoore, a wraith, during the 1340s in England. However, Logan resurfaced in modern times as the Chancellor of the Blood Syndicate, an evil cooperation run by Vescali demons and vampires, to wage war against Commander Cadence, the Earth Corps, and the Pantheon of Light. Only Chancellor Logan is not the real Logan Bennet.
Captured by Hades while trying to use a Babylonian Stone to return home, Logan spends his days in a winter landscape, in a cold, dark cell. He is not alone. Hades is collecting old supernatural adversaries with the help of Vescali hunters from all over the world, and the prison is full.
Time runs differently in this Hell dimension, and one day in Caceri is one day on Earth. Logan has nothing else to do but write about the horrors he experiences in a journal and hope someone might find it in the future and read what actually happened to him.
