"My mission to protect the Sight Seeker took away my wealth, my family legacy and my home, yet it granted me the richest of blessings. The lavish rewards for completing this mission, robbed me of what I cherished most."

Here's a short story that grew out of an exploration of the new players arriving in the next installment of the 'Claws and Steel' Series. 

'Samuel awakes from a forced landing on the Rocky Mountain's harsh western slopes. The First Echelon's missiles made short work of their attempt to join the rebellion. His wife, Lisa, lies unconscious but breathing. In a cruel twist of fate, only one vial of the miraculous Everbreathe remains. 

Will Samuel choose to die for his love, or grant her the gift of life, at the expense of his own?' 

Also includes a free sample of 'Death's Edge', the first book in the 'Claws and Steel' Series.

"I pick up the knife, reading the words 'Stainless steel', engraved along the blade. I bite back a laugh. The 'Gods' still use English, so many centuries after civilization's demise. Another truth I must keep to myself. Along the Edge, only the 'chosen' can read the godly tongue. 

After centuries as a 'demonic' feral, I'm as far from 'chosen' as a man can get. Some nights though, I really miss my fur."

From the short story 'The Path of the Demigod', coming soon.
Meanwhile, read more about Mikael in my latest post-apocalyptic novel, 'Death's Edge'.

I just hit the half-way point on my third post-apocalyptic novel, The Final Strain. The second one, The Counter Strain, is still being kicked around by the beta readers. So, I'm hoping to have the full trilogy in some stage of publication (beta reader, editing or formatting) by the end of the month.  The covers to the next two novels are all set (one less thing to worry about). Now I just have to finish revising them.  Good times :)

I came across this great sci-fi post where the writer presents humans as the 'scary aliens'. Hollywood usually portrays humanity as the weaker species on the intergalactic totem pole (less technologically advanced, lack of huge fangs, etc), but this writer came up with all sorts of human facts that could scare the pants off the average intergalactic out-of-towner. Enjoy!
