Book Status Update

March 4, 2019 - Wizard Gigantic, Book Nine update.
I sent the completed manuscript to my copyeditor yesterday. She will begin word on March 18, 2019. The copyedit and proofreading has been taking about six weeks, so I am estimating an early May 2019 release of the eBook with the audio book out sometime in July/August 2019 timeframe. (Hopefully.)

As you may know, the Intergalactic Wizard Scout Chronicles is a planned twelve book series. I have been releasing two books a year which realistically is about as fast as I can go and still enjoy time with my family. That means the final book of the series should be out in late Fall 2020.

Note: During the course of the series I have mentioned in passing time-commando missions that Rick and Nick have been sent on by 'the One' over the years. I've been toying with the idea of writing some shorter books about those missions in a separate series. If you'd be interested in reading about those missions, please drop me an email or fill out the contact from and let me know.

October 12, 2018 -Last Stand on Talos Seven, Book Two of the Wizard Scout Trinity Degaldo has been released as an eBook. Trinity teams up with some medically retired wizard scouts to defend a town of miners from a ruthless set of pirates.

August 26, 2018 - Wizard Defender, Book Eight is now available as eBook, print, and audio.
