Works in Progress

Ten years ago, Matthew began the lie.

A Star did offer him a bond — but the connection failed when a being of darkness sought entry to his soul.

Unable to bring the truth to light, Matthew wears a smile for his family by day. At night, a sinister voice he cannot understand invades his mind.

When his family is annihilated in a political purge, he is powerless to stop it. He is taken into a life of slavery where he is forced to make a choice: die and let his enemies go free, or make a lasting sacrifice.

When Michael starts to see cloaked, shadowy figures following his friends at school—figures no one else can see—he is thrust into a world he never believed existed. With his sight of the ghostly figures marking him as a potential, prophesied seer, he is assassinated by an ancient order seeking to rule the lives of men and women in both worlds. Waking up in the world of the Spirit, Michael encounters a battle raging from the dawn of time—one side fighting to close the gates to the great eternal expansions humanity may find, and the other, seeking to fulfill the prophecy to unlock them.

Syliva Lancaster, living in pain from family wreckage, is doggedly pursuing a numb life in high school only to one day, after saving the life of a young man caught in an explosion, be offered the chance of lifetimes—to join an elite group known as the Death Junkies—a group traveling through time to catastrophic eras and earning points by proximity to danger and demonstrating feats of incalculable bravery. Having run from the things that caused her the most pain for years, Sylvia is forced to face the things that terrify her the most in the world, and ultimately her heart.
