The DragonStar Chronicles: Book 5 – Corporate Dossier

October 16th 2026

 

Sofi has been captured by agents of Interstellar Transport and delivered to SenExecA Tremendous VI (de facto Emperor of the Galaxy) on ITTC New Homeworld. He can’t break Sofi’s imprint-bond with his wayward cargo-asset (Sagan, who’s waiting safely nearby in space). So he must convince her to join the IT Armada Corps voluntarily. Tremendous believes the DragonStars are critical to the survival of galactic civilization and Sofi – alone, vulnerable, and several trillion miles from home – is almost convinced by his passionate dedication to the “destiny intelligence.”

 

But there are secrets in the DragonStar “domestication” procedures that threaten to derail the negotiations and Tremendous, a man capable of planetary violence, MUST secure the return of the DragonStar that was stolen from him…

Grinding Against The Marrow

October 16th 2026

 

“Snake has the rare gift of making me want to read on, which is half the battle for any writer!” Garth Ennis

 

It’s Halloween. All the ghouls and goblins are out! We’re stuck in the small-minded malevolent town of Marrow. So get ready to survive the streets with Soma, a homeless ex-junkie Muslim. She’s all action, a woman of minimal words. Think a female Clint Eastwood cowboy, straightening out small town trouble. Soma encounters an entire cross section of the town’s seedy underbelly, including being hunted by packs of mask-wearing youths, corrupt cops, and partnering with an unlikely crew of outcast allies. However, she’s also got one particular skill that makes her formidable for this ordeal: parkour free running. But will this acrobatic ninja actually manage to escape the town’s clutches?

Bud Colbert: Time Travelin’ Janitor

October 26th 2026

 

Thrill to the adventures of the most dangerous man the world has ever known!

 

Bud Colbert, a janitor from 1961 who is accidentally handed the keys to the universe’s most powerful creation, now sees all of history as his personal amusement park. Too bad he’s under-qualified, under-educated and usually wakes up under the table. Armed with questionable judgement and an atomic disintegrator, Bud must now bring a message of peace and enlightenment to humanity’s past civilizations, even if it kills them.

 

Besides…if you can’t use a time machine to pick up chicks and get your kicks, what good is it?

The Lexian Chronicles: Full Circle

October 27th 2026

 

Some doors are sealed for a reason.

 

For generations, the tribes of Alemar have held an uneasy peace — and Reena’s people, the Phoenix, have kept it. She’s the Chieftain’s daughter, young to be carrying it, and already the weight is being laid on her shoulders.

 

Then the exiled Leopard tribe returns — thought gone forever, back now with fire and blade — and an alliance built over lifetimes begins to collapse in days.

 

But when Reena digs into how they found their way home, she uncovers a hidden hand steering all of it from the shadows, set on erasing everything her people have made. Hunted and grieving, she takes up the path of her warrior ancestors to hunt it down — and what waits at the end is nothing she was raised to believe in. A discovery that overturns her world, and forges an alliance no one in Alemar could have dreamed possible.

Felix McFly is a pixie. But forget magic dust and bluebells, he’s all about AI and Bluetooth. When a gastropodic despot (AKA Captain Spiral) sets out to take over the world – starting with a garden in suburban London, then onto France (to punish them for eating his cousins) – Felix, rookie pilot Fozz, and his flying machine Dro-na are all that stands in the way of snailmageddon. Can Felix save the world without using magic, upsetting his Great Grandma and still get Fozz back in time for their pilot exam? Probably not, but it’ll be fun to watch him try.

Too Much Blood: An American Superhero Story

October 14th 2026

 

Too Much Blood: An American Superhero Story is a chaotic mix of dark comedy and gore. The story follows Tom Wiseau, an ordinary man with ordinary problems, desperately trying to find his wife in the ruins of a shopping mall in the middle of an apocalyptic battle between two superhuman factions of opposing ideologies. Dragged into the epicenter of this bloody nightmare, Tom must navigate a gauntlet of caricature-like, insane god-beings.

 

Far more than just a sharp political allegory, Too Much Blood is a story about forgiveness and the urgency of holding on to the ones we love before the end.
