MY MOST RECENT NOVEL:
HUNTING GROUNDS: Book 3 of the On Dangerous Grounds series.
The testing grounds are closed, but that does not mean the Earth is safe. An entirely new series of brutal trials have begun as the ruthless aliens that call themselves the Apex experiment with their human toys.
The Apex want to know how fast we can run, how hard we can fight, and most importantly, how easily we die.
Hero Anthony DeLarge is next on the field to take his chances in these deadly games. Hand-picked by First Speaker Annie Carpenter, Anthony must survive fourteen days while being hunted by creatures whose sole purpose is to find him and kill him.
Welcome to the Hunting Grounds.

AND DON’T FORGET TO GET YOUR COPY OF:
TESTING GROUNDS: The novel that began the Amazon best selling series.
The Earth has been discovered by a mysterious alien race known only as “The Apex.” People have begun disappearing at random from all over the world, transported against their will and forced to participate in a lethal series of tests to determine their intelligence, stamina, and will to survive. Most will never leave the testing grounds.
Leon Alvarado is one of these unfortunate souls, trying to navigate challenges he does not understand for reasons he cannot comprehend. All he wants is to live long enough to go home. But the outcome of his performance in the tests will determine more than his own survival. It may decide the fate of an entire world.
Book #1 of the best selling On Dangerous Grounds trilogy.

Hi everyone! I want to let you all know I am still here and I’m still working on my next writing project. Book 3 of the On Dangerous Grounds series is written and awaiting edits. I hope to have it on the bookshelves and available for purchase sometime early next year. In addition to ODG, I have been working hard on a new project. Three brand new books are just about ready to release as a brand new series in 2024. The working title is Dead Town, but I will not say anything more about that right now. You will need to wait and see in the coming months for more info on this project.
Also, I wanted to say thank you to everyone that grabbed your free copy of A Life of Adventure in September. Thanks to you, my novel went to #1 in three categories on Amazon. It’s nice to have a hit. I hope you enjoy reading it, and if you have a few free seconds to spare, please leave a review. Happy Holidays, and I’ll see you in the new year.

It has been a while since I published any short stories. My focus lately has been on longer works. For example, I am currently hard at work writing book #3 in the On Dangerous Grounds series.

The anthology is scheduled to release on March 23, 2023. I will post a reminder when the date comes. For now, enjoy the sneak peek at the cover. It’s a good one!

This has taken a lot longer than I originally estimated. I thought book two of the On Dangerous Grounds series would be done and published in August or September at the latest. Life, however, always seems to get in the way. But there is good news: the book, Proving Grounds, is coming soon. I should have a sneak peek of the cover in a few days to share with you all. So, stick with me a little bit longer. It will be worth the wait. I promise.

Yes, it has been a while since I gave an update on my current projects. Rest assured, I am hard at work writing, editing, and preparing to publish the next book in the On Dangerous Grounds series. Proving Grounds will be available this Fall for your enjoyment. Have you read Testing Grounds? If not, now is the time. If you have already read it, maybe you want to read it again so you’re ready for the next installment in the series. More news to come, and hopefully a sneak peek at the new cover in the near future.

My latest short story, “Broken Home,” is available to listen to on the Planet Raconteur podcast, Season 2, Episode 9. Mine is the third story in the line-up if you want to jump ahead, but I recommend you listen to the entire podcast. The readers do a wonderful job of bringing short horror fiction to life. This is my third piece to appear on Planet Raconteur and I am very happy that they continue to support my writing. Give it a listen HERE!

I haven’t had much news to report lately. While I have been working on my longer projects like Deadly Seven and Proving Grounds, I haven’t had much time for short stories or anything else worth noting. That, of course, does not mean that I haven’t been busy. I hope you have gotten your copies of the Three Ghosts in the Machine collection and enjoyed the dark horrors within. If you have, why not let me (and everyone) know your impression of them. Leave a review on Amazon, Bookbub, or any other readers’ platform and share your opinion. I’d love to know how your thoughts.
