Find Your My eBooks and Audiobooks at Your Local Library with Overdrive/Libby, CloudLibrary, Hoopla, and More

I love to read! I also have a teenage son who consumes a gallon of milk every other day, and a growing daughter who needs new clothes and shoes on the regular.

I support my book habit by frequenting my local library. Maybe you do, too. All my books are currently available to libraries through Overdrive/Libby (the most popular app), CloudLibrary, BorrowBox, Hoopla, and more. If your local library loans out ebooks, but doesn’t have mine, they’ll have a way to request it.

If your library doesn’t loan ebooks or audiobooks, you may be able to get a library card at a larger library system for a modest fee. Here is a website that lists libraries with non-resident borrowing priveleges.

A New Release I Missed!

One captain. One ship. One chance to save everything he loves.

Captain Jacob T. Grimm has lost his ship. Relegated to training duty, he’s a warrior without a war. Until an assassin strikes, leaving Nadia wounded and the Alliance on the defense.

The Fleet Admiral needs every ship to strike at the Caliphate and end the war. Which leaves only one problem, Alexandria will be defenseless. There’s only one man who can fill the void.

Commanding a nameless, untested battleship, Jacob must defend Alexandria against a Caliphate Task Force armed with an experimental juggernaut. Outnumbered and outgunned, he rallies a ragtag crew to face the impossible… one more time.

If he fails, Alexandria burns—and Nadia dies with it. If he succeeds, he loses his command and his uniform.

Duty calls. War awaits. Read Grimm’s Legacy now and join the battle for the Alliance!

From USA Today bestselling author Jeffery H. Haskell comes book eight in the military science fiction epic in the tradition of Honor Harrington and Star Trek.

The wrong crew. The wrong ship. The right Captain.

Idealistic navy lieutenant Jacob Grimm just wanted to honor his mother’s sacrifice in the last great war. When he’s forced to return fire and destroy a squadron of ships to save his own, he thinks he’s the hero…

Until they discover the ships are full of children.

Disgraced and denied promotion, Jacob’s career is over. That is until the head of ONI needs a disposable officer to command a battered destroyer on the rim.

There’s just one problem, Interceptor hasn’t had a CO in months and the ship is a mess. Worse, the system he’s assigned to is corrupt and on the verge of all-out civil war with the Alliance.

However, no one told Jacob he was disposable.

Pirates, smugglers, and Caliphate spies complicate the situation and one captain with an old ship can’t enforce the law, let alone stop anyone.

The single greatest discovery of all time is about to change intergalactic politics forever. If Jacob doesn’t find a way to succeed, then it won’t just be the end of the Alliance, it will be the end of freedom for humanity.

From USA Today bestselling author Jeffery H. Haskell comes a military science fiction epic in the tradition of Honor Harrington and Star Trek. If you love heroes and starships, you will love to stand with Commander Jacob T. Grimm Against all Odds. You’re in the Navy now!

“Against All Odds is classic space fleet military science fiction in the tradition of David Weber, with memorable characters and thrilling action. Haskell is a new shining star in the genre.” –Rick Partlow, author of Contact Front
