Commander Ellen Ryu, Lieutenant Kael Sidassian, and the crew of the starship Audacity have met every challenge thrown their way, from super soldiers, to telepaths, to rivals with axes to grind.

Each step has brought them closer to Ellen’s ultimate goal—finding and defeating Dr. Arakovic, the scientist who destroyed her unit, her brothers- and sisters-in-arms, and her promising Union career. The woman who nearly stole Ellen’s sanity.

But Arakovic’s Songbirds grow more powerful each day. The clues are adding up. And the Audacity crew is discovering that Songbird’s influence reaches deeper and farther than they ever expected.

They’ll dive into battle—but this time they may find themselves underwater.

Not every battle can be won. Ellen Ryu has never let that stop her from trying.

But with his newfound daughter and new friends to protect, will the cost be too high for Kael to stay by her side?

Jump into this epic adventure in a galaxy where abuse of science is rampant and hope is all some people have left. Character-driven space opera with a mix of humor, action, and romance, SONGBIRD RISING is the fourth book in the Audacity Saga.

An ancient war re-ignites.

When Taylan Ellis saved the life of the woman who wanted her dead, she unknowingly sparked a chain of events that promises to reawaken a war between ancient rivals.

Blissfully ignorant of what she’s done, Taylan has resumed her search for her children in the West Britannic Isles, among the cultish Crusaders, hostile invaders of her homeland. To remain anonymous, she adopts a bizarre disguise and mercilessly plays upon their ridiculous beliefs.

Meanwhile, the global powers are ramping up for a confrontation that will decide the future of humanity. Taylan believes she has said a final goodbye to her involvement in the world war, but her ancestry means she still has a role to play.

The two paths she’s treading are about to converge. If she takes a wrong step, she may never reunite her family and human civilization is doomed.

The Resolute is book four in the epic space fantasy adventure, Star Legend.

Welcome to Norse America!

In this collection you will find the first four instalments of a grand retelling of history. The beginnings of a glorious saga befitting the Viking age!

The Norse settled Greenland in 985AD and reached continental North America not long after – almost five centuries before Columbus – but left.

What if they had stayed?

Imagine what may have happened, how the world we know might be different…

Would the British still have built their great empire? What of the Spanish, Portuguese and French imperial expansions? 

What about the two catastrophic world wars our timeline has endured?

Would there still have been some kind of American Revolution and Civil War? In such an alternate history, might the American Bible Belt celebrate the All-Father Odin, Freya and Thor instead of Jesus Christ? Indeed, what kind of America could have arisen?

We begin with The Landing as the Norse arrive on the shores of what we know as Canada’s Labrador. From there we will watch the first of them explore, live, love and in some cases fall. In time they will raise halls and found their first settlements as their colonies spread. They will meet other peoples and face great challenges. Bitter winters will come, but they will be followed by hope-filled springs. And all the while the Norse Gods will look upon the work of their mortal followers as a new civilisation grows.

Join me as we explore this amazing alternate history!

This boxed set includes:
United States of Vinland #1: The Landing 
A Short Tale From Norse America #1: Young Ravens & Hidden Blades
United States of Vinland #2: Red Winter 
United States of Vinland #3: Loki’s Rage 

Over 1300 pages of Viking exploration and adventure!

United States of Vinland #4: Odin’s Hall will release in 2019.

How do you keep fighting when you’ve already been claimed?

When sixteen-year-old Elise is ripped from her home and taken to the royal palace as a permanent ‘guest’, she thinks her life is over.

Little does she know it has only just begun…

After befriending a group of other captives, including the headstrong Will, Elise finds herself swept away to a world she never knew existed—polished, sculpted, and refined until she can hardly recognize her own reflection. She should be happy to have escaped the poverty of her former life. But she knows a dark truth.

The palace is a dream on the surface, but a nightmare underneath.

With a dwindling population, the royals have imprisoned the teenagers to marry and breed. Only seven days remain of freedom before they will be selected by a courtier and forever claimed.

Danger lurks around every corner. The only chance of escape is death.

But when the day of the claiming finally arrives…the world will never be the same.
