Hello again y’all,
I have been hard at work for the past few days, trying to catch up on emails, unarchiving a whole host of books, and getting ready for the release of the next book in the Turbulence series. If you haven’t seen it yet, I’m absolutely thrilled with how the cover turned out.
If you’re interested, it’s available for preorder here: https://amzn.to/4vpvz9A Also, to anyone who preorders a copy, if you send me proof, I’ll send you a copy of Turbulence, the first book in the series for FREE. That’s right—FREE! That’s two books for the price of one, which is a pretty spectacular offer if you ask me.
Next up are a few links to some recently unarchived books that I’ve also heavily discounted.
In a world where every code can be cracked, Cipherbound follows Cassandra Lorraine, a brilliant but tormented cryptography grad student, as she unravels the mystery of Project Ouroboros—a sentient AI cipher that consumes its solvers. Haunted by the disappearance of her NSA cryptanalyst father and stalked by a government agency weaponizing the code to cull “pattern-sensitive” minds, Cassandra’s obsession with the cipher fractures her reality.
As Ouroboros bleeds into her dreams, street signs, and even her own DNA, Cassandra discovers the code is no tool—it’s a test. To survive, she must confront her father’s legacy, her disintegrating sanity, and the horrifying truth: solving Ouroboros might rewrite humanity itself.
Set against Austin’s tech-dystopian sprawl, Cipherbound blends the cyberpunk tension of Mr. Robot with the psychological horror of Annihilation. For fans of Dark Matter and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, this thriller explores what happens when the search for truth becomes a contagion—and the only way out is deeper in.

Dr. Laurie Obregon, a reclusive astrobiologist haunted by her daughter’s death, is humanity’s last hope. Her experimental cybernetic implant—forged from the wreckage of a colony ship disaster—allows her to commune with voidblooms, bioluminescent organisms that make interstellar travel possible. But when her crew answers a distress call near a black hole’s edge, they uncover a derelict alien megastructure… and learn the blooms are not tools, but sentient warnings.
The voidblooms whisper a terrible truth: harvesting them has weakened a prison holding a cosmic entity that feeds on civilizations. As the crew fractures—torn between survival, guilt, and madness, Laurie’s implant reveals darker secrets. The entity knows her grief. It offers her daughter’s resurrection in exchange for freedom. But the voidblooms plead for sacrifice, urging her to seal the horror… even if it dooms humanity.
Now, in the shadow of a black hole that watches with a star-forged eye, Laurie must confront the lies festering in her own mind. Is her implant a tool, a traitor, or something far older? And as her body unravels into bark and static, will she resist the siren song of a second chance… or become the architect of humanity’s extinction?
A fusion of Annihilation’s body horror and Event Horizon’s cosmic dread, The Hungry Dark is a claustrophobic odyssey exploring the cost of survival in a universe where love and guilt are the deadliest fuels.

Danielle Anderson is the perfect suburban housewife—PTA mom, bake sale coordinator, and trusted neighbor. But behind her polished façade lies a lethal secret: she’s an assassin, methodically hunting those responsible for her son’s death. Armed with forensic expertise, domestic tools as weapons, and a chilling lack of remorse, Danielle stages “accidents” to evade detection.
Yet as her husband grows suspicious and a relentless detective closes in, her carefully constructed double life begins to unravel. The Suburban Assassin is a dark, twist-laden thriller that asks: How far would a mother go for vengeance? And when does justice become indistinguishable from revenge?

Dr. Maggie Nixon never wanted to be a prophet. She just wanted the truth.
When the reclusive mathematician discovers a prime-numbered pattern etched into the fabric of reality, her proof rocks the world: the universe is a simulation. But her breakthrough comes at a cost. A neon-green timer manifests in her vision, ticking down from 79 hours. Governments brand her a liar. Cultists hail her as a messiah. And her estranged brother begs her to recant, terrified she’s inherited their father’s delusions.
But the truth is worse than anyone imagines.
The timer isn’t a countdown to deletion—it’s a digestion cycle. The universe is a fractal, an endlessly hungry entity that consumes realities to survive. By proving its artificiality, Maggie has triggered its rebirth: every living mind will dissolve into data to fuel a new cosmos. To stop it, she must erase her consciousness, trapping humanity in an ignorant loop. To allow it means sacrificing every memory, every love, every fragment of self.
Now, at the edge of oblivion, she faces a choice—sacrifice her existence to freeze time, or trust the next version of herself to break the cycle.
A mind-bending thriller where reality is recursive and survival is a paradox, Starving Infinity asks: What if the only way to save eternity is to starve it?

In the shadow of the Blackridge Mine, fourteen-year-old Halcyon Flint has always heard the mountain’s whispers. But when a dare gone wrong traps her in its collapsing depths, those whispers become screams.
With her flashlight dead, her ankle shattered, and the air running thin, Halcyon’s only lifeline is the faint glow of a stranger’s journal—one that belonged to her mother, a geologist who died in a cave-in years ago. Except the journal tells a different story. Her mother wasn’t killed in Utah. She died here, in Blackridge, chasing the same silver vein that now threatens to bury Halcyon alive.
Above ground, her father, Frank, races against the storm with a rescue team led by hard-edged Captain Catherine Ward. But Frank knows the truth: the mine’s instability is his fault. His lies about his wife’s death lured Halcyon into the dark, and every drill strike risks burying his daughter deeper.
As the mountain’s veins fracture and floodwaters rise, Halcyon uncovers relics of her mother’s final hours—and a path to survival etched in courage and betrayal. Below, she battles crumbling stone and suffocating doubt. Above, Catherine and Frank clash over how much to risk for one life.

And now for the coup de grace.
If you ignore everything in this post, please, PLEASE do not ignore the following link. I cannot hear the real this song anymore without giggling like a maniac because of this video:
Lastly, the following video was sent to me by someone who is near and dear to my heart and let me tell you, I haven’t felt this seen in years. I hadn’t ever heard of traumatic intelligence before and I’ll bet that you probably haven’t either. But now that you have, I’m intensely curious whether this resonates deeply with you, too.
That’s all for now. Thank you for reading. 🩷
