I write Heroic Fantasy, Space Opera, Sword & Planet Sci-Fi, Sword and Sorcery Fantasy, Horror, and Children's Books. Here's a little bit more about me.
MAD SHADOWS - BOOK 1: THE WEIRD TALES OF DORGO THE DOWSER, is my first novel, now published in a brand-new, revised third edition by Pulp. It's epic Sword & Sorcery - Heroic Fantasy with a film noir edge. (Winner of the 2017 Golden Books Reader's Choice Award for Best Fantasy.)
MAD SHADOWS - BOOK 2: THE ORDER OF THE SERPENT, my fourth novel, was a semifinalist for the 2017 Golden Quill Award for Best Fantasy. It's another Heroic Fantasy with a film noir twist, with more magic, murder, mystery and mayhem all brought to you courtesy of Dorgo the Dowser.
MAD SHADOWS-BOOK 3: THE HEROES OF ECHO GATE. Filled with action, magic, monsters, mystery and mayhem — and an unforgettable cast of characters, The Heroes of Echo Gate is an epic of Heroic Fantasy, a perilous journey of discovery, and an adventure unlike anything Dorgo has ever known.
THREE AGAINST THE STARS is my second novel, an old-fashioned space opera. It's available now in both paperback and Kindle editions.
THE MECHMEN OF CANIS-9 is my seventh novel. This is the long-awaited sequel to my "Three Against The Stars." It's an action-packed interplanetary adventure that pays tribute to every sea- and space-faring story that inspired it.
WATERS OF DARKNESS, co-authored with David C. Smith, (Dark Muse, Call of Shadows, Fall of the First World Trilogy), is a swashbuckling pirate adventure of swords, sorcery, and Lovecraftian horror.
THREE GHOSTS IN A BLACK PUMPKIN is my first collaboration with acclaimed author and illustrator, Erika M Szabo. This is also my first children's book, appropriate for ages 6 - 14, and adults may enjoy it, too. This is fantasy about two cousins, Nikki and Jack, who find a talking wind chime in the shape of a silver skeleton named Wishbone Jones, and a black pumpkin in which the ghosts of the three good Wishmothers have been imprisoned. To free them, Nikki Jack travel to the magical world of Creepy Hollow, where they face all sorts of dangers and tests, and along the way, learn a few lessons about life and growing up. (Winner of the 2017 Golden Books Judge's Choice Award for Best Children's Fantasy.)
THE POWER OF THE SAPPHIRE WAND is the sequel to Erika M. Szabo's and my children's fantasy, the award-winning "Three Ghosts in a Black Pumpkin." Return with to Creepy Hollow with Nikki and Jack. Join with them and their old friends, Wishbone, Ghoulina and Catman as the race against time to save the ecology and environment of Creepy Hollow from Evila the Grim Witch and her minions, the giant Mutanto and his werewolf henchman, Howler. Find out the truth behind what really happened to Nikki's parents 12 years ago.
