Works of Fiction

Creating characters, settings, or even whole worlds is a long-time joy of mine, one where I get to flex my creative muscles and try to encourage others to do the same. While my blog in general deals with all number of topics, here’s a curated list of all of my works of fiction – content inspired from other works, games I’ve played, or spun out of whole cloth.

My wonderful supporters on Patreon can view upcoming  entries several days before general release – thank you for your support!

Currently I have two long-running story arcs going: the Lavis Chronicles which explores a civilization’s first steps onto the galactic stage, and Covert Ops about two American operatives fighting a Bolivian drug cartel. I hope you enjoy!

The Worst Hangover I can’t Remember

The Worst Hangover I can’t Remember

Awareness slowly bubbles to the surface like air escaping from ice at the bottom of a stiff bourbon, languid and uncertain. Pain hits me, a harsh overhead light stabbing me in the eyes—calloused fingers rub at my temples but there's no relief. It's a pain I recognize,...

Further Afield (the Epilogue)

Further Afield (the Epilogue)

Though Acahya's story didn't end with the hard-fought battle in the waters off of Japan's rocky coast, finally putting down the bastard that betrayed her and sent her fleeing into two years of international piracy, it did take a sharp turn. Having sailed the seas and...

Raven’s Judgment

Raven’s Judgment

“You can’t even conceive of what I’ve put into motion!” the man ranted, continuing to pace about the small control room, his too-expensive haircut marred by soot as the ship fell to fiery pieces around him. “What I started will outlive me, will outlive you, will...
