The floating colony of Twilight was meant to be humanity’s future—engineered, orderly, and invincible. But its designers built a genetic monoculture destined to fail. Hana Morgenstern and John Miller fled before the collapse, seeking refuge among the North Polars, a breakaway society as devout as it is durable.

But even on the frozen side of Dawkins, danger lurks. Hana’s discovery of time gates offers both salvation and ruin. These portals can reconnect lost human colonies… or unleash extinction from across the stars.

As a deadly storm brews and old enemies close in, Hana, John, and their adopted wolf Haiiro must choose: die where they stand—or leap, once again, into the unknown.

They will wind up where no man has gone before.

They will not be welcomed.

When John Miller signs up for the rescue mission to the Proxima Centauri outpost, he expects to find his former lover, Hana, the brilliant physicist behind the invention of near light engines, dead. 

Instead he and his team find Hana missing and a large part of the outpost destroyed.

John’s team suspects suicide.  John knows Hana would never give up so easily.

John and Hana are very different people. Their relationship was a fluke born of proximity and convenience. But when he discovers her Hail Mary attempt to return to Earth with a dangerous, experimental faster-than-light vessel, he has to follow her.

But it isn’t where Hana has gone that is the real surprise. It’s when … 

Vessels damaged, fighting for survival, Hana and John struggle to rebuild the basics of civilization from scratch. They’re in a world where unboiled water or an untreated cut can result in death, and four-legged predators lurk in the trees.

But the greatest threats to Hana and John are almost human …

All legends begin somewhere.

Blue-skinned Arliss Dubai returns to planet Teton with mechanical enhancements and fury burning in his silver veins after wrongfully serving time in lunar prison. Stepping off the transport into the mile-high megacity Vandress, he faces a world that disregards enhanced humans like him, engineered to save a dying planet. Now, these Blends are lower-class citizens, marked for expulsion by zealots in a post-Collapse society forced to survive indoors.

Twelve-year-old Kip Dubai doesn’t recognize the stranger claiming to be his father. A rare hybrid known as a Patchie who bears the traits of two peoples, Kip found family elsewhere during his father’s imprisonment: In a gang of misfits who steal to survive in the steam-filled hidden spaces of the Servo District.

When Enforcement Q officers ambush Arliss in a dark alley, death seems certain – until mysterious, otherworldly figures intervene, leaving bodies and questions in their wake. These ethereal “friends” suggest cosmic forces are stirring within Vandress’s towering spires, and ancient powers are awakening.

A fractured family stands at the crossroads of revolution. Arliss must reconnect with his son before Vandress tears itself apart, or before whatever lurks in the shadows comes for them all.

If you’re into broken cities, fantastical mysteries, and characters who’ve been screwed over but refuse to stay down, BLEND hits different. The first book in The Rogues of Teton series smashes together gritty sci-fi action with fantastical “wait, did that just happen?” moments.

“A riveting opening series installment that introduces spirited characters and an unforgettable dystopian world.” – Kirkus Reviews

But soon, they all realize that there’s something even more dangerous onboard… something that might cost them all their lives.

A smuggler, a stowaway slave, and a pirate find themselves on a collision course deep in the no-man’s-land of space, tracking a mystery that’s centuries old.

Maurice “Moss” Foote is down to his last hundred credits, which he needs to get his old ship back and start over. Again. But then, Moss is so familiar with rock bottom he has his mail forwarded there.

Hel was born a slave, or maybe she wasn’t. It’s confusing, just like the compulsion that keeps her building… something. When she sees an opportunity to escape aboard a ship, she takes it, not realizing the trouble she’s in for.

Roy “Hellno” Herzog is a pirate who prefers to work alone. Now he’s got a lead on a prize so big it could set him up for life, if he can stomach working with other people. All he has to do is track down one runaway slave.

“An action-packed space romp with a dry sense of humor that will appeal to fans of The Orville who wish that show was more like Firefly.” – Marcus Alexander Hart of the Galaxy Cruise series
