JAC.AL: A Spiral Frontier Novella
For fans of The Murderbot Diaries and Old Man’s War — a complete 50,757-word novella available for representation.
JAC.AL.KLP.0630 (aka “Jackal”) is a protocol-loving construct who leads the Second Mountain Recon Task Force, a quirky squad of over-the-hill bots trying to protect the people of New Lagos Prime. As intergalactic civilization falls apart around them at the hands of runaway synthetic intelligence, the squad must balance core directives against novel realities as they find their place in this chaotic new existence.
JAC.AL is the first in my Spiral Frontier series -- six linked novellas and six companion novelettes set on the edge of civilization during the gold rush age of intergalactic space exploration.

The Lost Construct
I’m starting to shop around a new title called The Lost Construct. It’s a novel set in a new science fiction universe called The Spiral Frontier. I’m looking for agents and I’m hoping to have some exciting news to share soon!
Pandemic in a Pandemic
When I started the book in November 2019, the pandemic I dreamed up was little more than a plot device to get the characters into an apocalypse and give them a reason to go find a cure and save the world. I had no idea that a month later, we would experience the first global pandemic in a century.
Time Augmented: Roanoke
Today I’m excited to share that I’m writing a book called Time Augmented: Roanoke. It’s a techno-thriller that takes place in a global pandemic.
