Books

Fiction should be more than just words on a page—it should grip you and not let go.

Look—I know you have options. There’s an ocean of books out there, and most of them waste your time. Slow starts. Bloated world-building. Pages of nothing happening. Who has time for that?

Some books take 50 pages to get interesting. Mine take one sentence. Some authors ease you in. I throw you into the fire. Every scene pushes forward. Every word matters. My stories are designed to make you turn the page—not out of obligation, but because you have to know what happens next.

But these aren’t just thrill rides. My stories stay with you because they mean something. They challenge you, make you think, make you feel. They force you to wrestle with the big questions—about humanity, the cosmos, the future—not in a way that slows the story down, but in a way that makes it unforgettable.

I’ve written two award-winning, best-selling science fiction novels. These thrilling stories explore resilience, courage, survival, and the philosophical questions that shape our existence. My stories don’t just entertain. They matter.

If that’s the kind of fiction you crave, welcome. You’re in the right place.

Plot

It’s 2042, and Commander Kate Holman is on the verge of her life’s dream as the leader of the first manned mission to Mars. Minutes before setting foot on the red planet, her world comes crashing down when she’s abruptly relieved of command. Replaced by the mission’s security officer, she learns that a secret military objective is the true reason for their journey.

What military purpose could Mars possibly hold? The question takes Kate to the fabled “Face on Mars” and a mysterious discovery excavated from deep within. Is it an exotic, new element? Evidence of life? An alien artifact? Scurried away by the security officer, she can only speculate.

An astronaut dies. Systems malfunction. Some claim it’s the result of a rumored Martian “curse” that won’t lift until the unearthed item is returned. Kate seeks a more rational explanation for the problems befalling the mission, but suffers under debilitating headaches and the fear of their possible connection to her past.

When Kate uncovers the nature of the item, a secret some would kill to protect, can she overcome the powerful forces allied against her and make it back to Earth?

Plot

Since becoming a starship captain, Thomas Holbrook has worried he might someday draw a one-way mission. When he receives orders to divert his CentCom warship to the center of the galaxy, a region from which no vessel has ever returned, he comes face-to-face with his greatest fear.

It’s the year 2330. The “aughts,” robots that warred for independence from mankind, seek insurance against the ever-present human threat. An aught ship speeds to the galactic center for material to build a weapon that could destroy the Earth.

Holbrook can’t allow the aughts to create a planet-killing bomb. He enlists the help of Dr. Rebekah Riesen, a brilliant physicist with her own reasons for joining a mission that may not return, and Tentek, an aught informant who might be a double agent. Together, can they keep a mutinous crew at bay, stop the aughts at the center of the galaxy, and somehow find a way back home?
