A Progression Fantasy and LitRPG Collection of Short Stories
Good vs. Evil, Volume 1
NOV 1 AMAZON RELEASE AND JAN 15 AUDIOBOOK RELEASE
Power can be earned. Courage must be chosen. Good vs. Evil: Volume 1 unites progression fantasy, LitRPG, and science fiction in a celebration of classic heroic storytelling. From monster-haunted kingdoms to the depths of space, unlikely champions confront ancient evils, brutal tyrants, and powers that treat lives as expendable. Some are discovering their strength. Others hoped their fighting days were over. All must decide what they will sacrifice to protect others. These are stories of courage, loyalty, and hard-earned hope, with heroes worth rooting for and evil worth standing against. 50% of all revenue from this book will go to the new author scholarship fund at future LitRPG Cons. Special thanks to Steve Beaulieu for inspiring this collection.
The Endr Chronicles, Book 1
Get Trucked
OUT NOW • AMAZON AND AUDIBLE
Ever wonder why you hear about so many people getting hit by trucks? Yeah. That’s me. My name is Max. State Trooper by day, and Endr by night. I work for the Bureau of Afterlife Dispatch. It’s my job to send the chosen into the next realm to serve their calling. The Endr App© gives me a route, a set of rules, and a fare I’m not allowed to refuse. The rules are simple: take the job, don’t interfere with other drivers, and don’t get caught. Every run makes me stronger. Every level earns me a bigger vehicle, built to survive things the city pretends don’t exist. But something’s wrong at the Bureau. Assignments don’t line up. Other Endrs are pushing boundaries. And some fares fight back harder than they should. Weird shit is happening. I may be new to this world, but I will figure out what is going on. And if you get in my way, you can Get Trucked!

New series
Anunnaki: The LitRPG
Coming Soon!
What if the ancient Sumerian gods were never gods at all, but the progenitors of humanity? What if every great flood, fallen empire, and inexplicable dark age was not a tragic accident, but part of a long-running quality control cycle? When humanity strays too far from the parameters the Anunnaki set at the beginning, they return and appoint avatars to decide whether the species deserves to continue or face another reset. This is not new. It has happened before. Jack never asked to be involved in cosmic performance reviews. He works nights as a custodian in a Sacramento state office building called the Ziggurat. When ancient power awakens within him, Jack begins unlocking long-buried abilities tied to the progenitors, powers that grow stronger the deeper he is drawn into a hidden war that has shaped every major collapse in human history. One avatar fights to preserve humanity. The other believes the reset is overdue. Either way, the oldest war in human history is about to begin again.
