GUILTY but ABERRANT
Cursed are those who, through no fault of their own, become the very thing that wounded them.
​
Detective Costal Crux has seen enough of the Aberrant Crime Unit’s thankless cases to be jaded beyond repair, while his idealistic new partner, Leanna Daylee, hopes to make a difference in a world that barely tolerates change. In the bleak, rainy streets of Crescent City, where fear of the unknown shapes law and order, Displacers—rare young men and women cursed with the dangerous ability to manipulate any material they touch—are outcasts. Shunned by society, condemned by the legal system, and declared guilty but aberrant from the moment their powers manifest, they are funneled into the ruthless Clutts and Hoffman Asylum for so-called “rehabilitation.”
​
But when the mangled bodies begin to surface, bearing the grotesque signatures of a Displacer’s touch, Crux and Daylee are thrust into a manhunt for a pair of killers who wield their powers like weapons and lurk in the city’s darkest underbelly.
Each crime scene is a tableau of brutality, every clue another dead end, leading Crux and Daylee deeper into a maze of grotesque violence and twisted motives. As the detectives wade through the blood-soaked trail, every answer only sharpens the mystery. Their only certainty? This case will demand more than they ever bargained for.

Echo, A Space Opera Duology: Part One
Kai Randal, a retired Colonial Navy commander turned rogue pilot, and his upbeat co-pilot, Parri, thought their latest job—a high-stakes data heist from the Ursae Dynasty—would be their ticket to easy credits. But when they stumble into the path of a mysterious alien vessel, their lives spiral into chaos. Forced to join forces with Shreya Nova, a fierce adversary with a relentless mission to find her missing spouse, Kai and Parri embark on an epic, danger-laden journey across the galaxy.
​
Their quest hurtles them into the crosshairs of a ruthless military commander determined to thwart Shreya at every turn and will stop at nothing to recoup his losses. In a galaxy where all glory is fleeting, and there is a very thin line between wealth and poverty, freedom and slavery, and benevolence and despotism, Kai is pushed to his limits, questioning his sanity and purpose. Will his streak of altruism spell the end for him and his crew, or can he defy the odds once more?
​
The Echo series promises a pulse-pounding space opera filled with complex characters, fierce alliances, and the relentless pursuit of justice in an unsympathetic galaxy.

"Having read a lot of "box" novels I found this particular novel to be refreshing in that the author took the time to develop the characters and story line as opposed to going from one battle to another."
Jim Arrowood
"This is an example of a story that will rise to the top and scream, "Read Me Now!" I cannot imagine any fan of sci-fi space opera that wouldn’t enjoy this story."
