the Series Begins...
Into the BeanStalk
Jack is a techie and long-time shut-in, driven to save her father from corporate servitude. That means getting her hands on scrip, and lots of it. Going into debt with the most violent bikers in Hope Megacity will get her the cybernetic limbs she needs to overcome her disabilities, but that’s only the beginning.

What's Next?
Projects and books in the works.
01
Into the Wishing Star
In the third book of Jack's trilogy, she leads the war against the Founders after they execute a merciless strike against Hope.
The book that will open up the entire Hope Cyberpunk Universe to wild new adventures!
03
Indieguana
The world needs better ways for readers to find indie books without dealing with tradpub, unfair algorithms, and paid placement. So I've been building it!
04
They Knelt in Rust
Post apocalyptic cyberpunk dystopia with a major high fantasy vibe. This stand alone novel is a WIP on Indieguana!
02
Pantheon Bureau
I've been exploring the future of interactive fiction for a couple of years now, and I'm proud to announce that I've made incredible breakthroughs on what can be done by one guy with a laptop.
Pantheon Bureau is a superhero management simulation inside an interactive novel. It is a fully-functional game with stats, random loot gen, and team management.
Set in a noir alternate 1930s, this interactive story blends The Boys with classic detective stories. Recruit heroes, send them on missions, manage your staff and HQ, all while keeping the feds (and the papers) off your back!
In the main stories, you'll track down an arsonist, stop foreign spies, and try to hold the moral high ground as superheroes around the world poise themselves for the looming World War.

Doing some paranormal investigation gear photos for adapting into the PARANOMALY game. Much of the gear will be available either for demo or sale during the game launch at @floridaparacon ! More gear to come, of course. And details for how to access the game early so you can give me feedback. 😊 #ghosthunting #paranormal #fortean

Explored a Florida location with loads of reported paranormal activity today. After a tour and long discussion with the caretakers, the Paranomaly game and field guide have their next Special Investigation! We'll be scheduling our night investigation for next month...results to become part of the game and the book. #paranormal #ghosthunt #historic

I'll do a real screen cap soon, but decided I'd just record some of the game I'm working on: Paranomaly. A paranormal investigation strategy game with mechanics based loosely on board games like Daybreak. #scifi #indie #gamedev #paranormal #ghosthunting

Hundreds of hours of research, design, and writing. The PARANOMALY field guide is a usable AND educational book for paranormal investigators and fans! This is part of a much larger project ...I'm developing a digital card game about paranormal investigation that's also nearly finished. Video soon on that one! #indieauthor #paranormal #ghosthunting #cryptids #ufology

I just figured out how to fix legacy media -- every paying customer of a streaming service gets to produce one show pilot. Low budget, ofc, then audiences decide what gets a contract. Can you imagine how much more entertaining and diverse entertainment ACTUALLY would be? Crazy? The tech is pretty much here. #netflix #indie #media #entertainment #streaming
