I write the adventures I no longer have.

Suspend disbelief - Have an adventure!

I mostly write about military and para-military forces. That’s what I did for most of my youth. I was a soldier until wounded on an overseas mission, so now I write. There is no subtext in my novels, it’s all about a good, fun read.

I write Speculative Fiction and Comedy

I mostly write science fiction about military or para-military forces, some fantasy, and occasionally humour pieces. I'm Canadian; we spell things a little differently here.

Awaken the Cyborg

Racer Magellan is a four-hundred-year-old cyborg mercenary, and one of the last true-humans in the galaxy. Triness is an alien princess who keeps a secret which could bring the galaxy to its knees. When Triness hired Racer as a bodyguard he expected an easy mission, and a large pay cheque. He never expected to fall in love, lose that love, and then fight to get her back. He never expected to awaken emotions that had long lay dormant. This story contains graphic violence, language, and adult situations.
