Series

Many of my stories are part of various loosely linked series, because—hey— why waste all that lovely world-building on just one story…

The Thousand Kingdoms
Adventure and danger abound in a world where a thousand kingdoms sprawl across a vast continent, loosely ruled by a cadre of powerful mages who care nothing about the plight of the common people. But there are threats lurking in the shadows, and even this mighty empire may someday…fall.

Inflection Point
Welcome to the future. The 21st century was a bit rough on the world, what with global warming,  the general meltdown called the Time of Troubles, and even that pesky civil war that splintered the former United States. Let’s hope the 22nd century is a little better…
