Book Status Update

May 3, 2019 - While I was waiting for book nine of my main series to go live, I wrote Steel Apocalypse, Book One of a new series. It is about a mech-warrior type mercenary and his Paladin 05 UHAAV. It's in the same universe as my wizard scout novels, but currently doesn't include any of the characters of the main series. The eBook will probably be out in late June. In the meantime, I'm working on Wizard Angelic, Book Ten of the wizard scout series.

April 11, 2019 - Wizard Gigantic, Book Nine update.
The Wizard Gigantic eBook is now live on Amazon. The print book should be out sometime in May with the audio book out probably in the August timeframe. I hope you enjoy it.

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, print, and audio book. Trinity teams up with some medically retired wizard scouts to defend a town of miners from a ruthless set of pirates.
