Thanks to everyone that has been buying and supporting this hell of a fun space marine adventure. Y’all rock!
Wha
t is Salvage Merc One? I’m glad you asked!
Joseph Laribeau was born to be a Marine in the Galactic Fleet. He was born to fight the alien enemies known as the Skrang Alliance and travel the galaxy doing his duty as a Marine Sergeant. He loved the life. But when the War ended and Joe found himself medically discharged, the best job ever was over and he never thought he’d find his way again.
Then a beautiful alien walked into his life and offered him a chance at something even greater than the Fleet, a chance to serve with the Salvage Merc Corp.
Now known as Salvage Merc One Eighty-Four, Joe Laribeau is given the ultimate assignment by the SMC bosses. To his surprise it is neither a military nor a corporate salvage. Rather, Joe has to risk his life for one of his own. He has to find and bring back the legend that started the Corp.
He must find Salvage Merc One.
Pretty groovy, yes? Yes! So go all clickety clickety on that cover and get you some Salvage Merc One!
Now on to the drabble!
Enjoy!

Only Other Person

The eyes were nothing short of spectacular. Lawrence could feel their power. He knew that all he had to do was free the god and that power was his.
Lawrence stepped forward and raised his hands
“Oh, great and powerful Hebatesia!” Lawrence shouted in the dust-filled catacomb. “I have brought you a sacrifice! His blood will be my gift to you! It will free you from your ten thousand year imprisonment!”
Mike frowned and looked about the catacomb as he set Lawrence’s gear down.
“Uh… Did you say sacrifice?” Mike asked, realizing he was the only other person there.

Cheers!

New Release! Reign Of Four: III is live!
That’s right, folks! Time to check out the third installment in the Teirmont Family saga!
You will LOVE Alexis the Third. She is twelve kinds of awesome!
Have a click and check out this great entry into my genre bending historical fiction space opera series!
Reign of Four: III–
Alexis the Third, Mistress of Station Aelon and its Primes, was the first female monarch in all of System Helios’s history. She was a true Teirmont in temperament and passion, yet unique in ways no one expected. Despite the disdain, aggression, contempt and disgust of the male nobility for a female ruler, Alexis the Third proved to System Helios that gender was not what made a monarch.
Her rule changed System Helios forever.
New Release! Reign Of Four: II is now available!
Yes, another Reign Of Four novel is out in the digital wild!
Print will be coming later this Fall for the entire series, but for those of you that like to get ahead of the game, feel free to grab the ebooks of RoF I and II at your leisure.
Alexis the Second was not his father’s son.
Instead of being a man of military might, he was a man from the wild lands of the Prime. Instead of being an accomplished warrior, he was an unapologetic hedonist, reveling in the finer tastes and pleasures of life. For many of the nobility, such a life would have been ideal, but for a Master of Station it was near suicide.
New Release! The Reign Of Four Series!
What is this? A new novel is out in ebook? A new space opera series unlike anything I have ever written?
Welcome to Reign of Four!
Ain’t that just one sexy cover?
And here’s the sexy description!
“Millennia ago, planet Helios held a grand technological civilization. But the Cataclysm tore the land apart, and the survivors were forced to flee to the Six Stations, the artificial planetoids that orbited Helios. It did not take long for their society to devolve into a virtual medieval world, with barely enough technology to survive the harshness of life in space.
Out of this culture arose a line of monarchs called the Reign of Four. Alexis Teirmont was the First. He was a visionary, a warrior and a tyrant who was not immune to egotism, cruelty, and revenge. He would change the very fabric of the System. His reign would be remembered throughout history for both the good–and the bad.”
Sexy, dammit!
Not to mention the sexy blurb it’s gotten!
“Harkening back to Martin’s Game of Thrones and Bujold’s Vorkosigan Saga, Reign of Four is a fast-paced fantasy epic!”- Richard A Knaak, NYT Bestselling Author of The Dragonrealm and World of Warcraft series.
Reign of Four is (wait for it) a four book series and what I call medieval space fiction. It is the story of Family Teirmont and the four great monarchs that would change Aelon Station and all the stations of System Helios. Based on the real lives and reigns of Edwards I, II, III, and the Black Prince of England, it truly is historical fiction set in space. No laser guns, no zippy starfighters, no wormholes or transporters or faster than light travel. These folks are lucky to get the video systems broadcasting on their stations. It’s long blades and court intrigue, passionate love affairs and political deceptions, religious domination and personal struggles.
Reign of Four is truly epic and you will love it!
The first ebook is out now with Book Two coming in August (feel free to pre-order) and the last two coming this fall. Plus, the print books will be out this fall, so keep your eyes peeled at your local bookstore and Barnes & Noble!
Enjoy!
