The Freedom Race (2021)
(Dreambird Chronicles, book 1)
Lucinda Roy
"American magic-realism meets the outcome of the Second U.S. Civil War in a well-told, but brutally jolting, strangely prescient, and soul-haunting narrative."
The Ruin of Kings (2019)
(Chorus of Dragons, book 1)
Jenn Lyons
"A fascinating story about a compellingly conflicted young hero in an intriguingly complex world."
American Craftsmen (2014)
(American Craftsman, book 1)
Tom Doyle
"Tom Doyle's American Craftsmen is a fast-moving and intriguing novel that incorporates features of combat fantasy, special-operations, alternative history, block ops, and even a touch of romance into a seamless action tapestry offering a far richer read than most action adventures without sacrificing either action or speed."
